OH is looking after me.

He cooks meals. Remeber the fried egg with pasty incident last week?

I fancied some Ovaltine so I indulged in a jar from the Co-Op today. He doesn't like it so has never made it but came to bed after me and was going to be making a drink.

I asked him to make it in the big spotted mug, heat up the milk in the microwave and stir in a dessertspoonful of Ovaltine.

Up he comes with the drinks, spotted mug with teaspoon sticking out of it. It didn't feel quite right when I picked it up which is not surprising as there was a dear little drop of drink in the bottom of the mug, in fact it was barely more than a damp patch!

He hadn't made it before so he read the instructions and followed them!

Of course, I am such a liar that I would tell him to do quite the wrong thing to make me a drink and I do have other , smaller drinking vessels.Had I wanted a tiddly little drop of Ovaltine, why would I suggest he use the big mug?

Maybe you should leave the correct amount of milk in the mug, in the fridge, just as an example :-D

We are the ovaltinies happy girls and boys.,

forgot the rest. Didn't Ovaltine co supply special mugs with a long spoon? Not that Ovaltine is likely to be the devil's first choice.

I had one of those Ovaltine mugs when I was young. It might still be in a box of things I brought away from my Mum's after she died.

Personally I like Horlicks, the sort you just add boiling water to. Sometimes Tescos has an offer on of two refill packs for about £4 which works out a lot cheaper than buying a plastic jar of it.
