This made me chuckle, partly because my mum always harps on about my mugs. Either because she is obsessed with bleaching them when she comes to stay or wants to throw one away because it's chipped. At this point I get all possessive and sentimental. This weeks listography has proved I'm not alone!
1) Sadly this one is no longer with us so I cannot show a photo but it was my Little Miss Naughty mug. Lasted many many years before I picked it up one day and the handle just fell off. This had a chip in it but was my 'first cup of tea' mug. It was traditional that I would have this one and my husband would have his South Park 'ow my ass' one. Bizarrely this one met the same fate just a few weeks before Little Miss Naughty.
2) So the morning cuppa mugs needed replacing and along came my brand spanking new 'I'm a Yummy Mummy' mug. This was a present from my kids to replace the one I had web my daughter was born that is now also in mug heaven. My husband uses his Dishy Daddy mug. Sad? Probably. Do we care? No.
3) The evening cuppa. No idea when I got this mug (probably when I was a student?! Or did it come with an Easter egg? Who knows?!) but it's traditionally the one I use in the evening.
4) The posh mug. I think we bought these ourselves and they are the ones we use when we want to be fancy. In other words at Christmas or if we are entertaining. It's also affectionately known as the Tia Maria coffee mug!
5) The 'relatives for tea' mugs. AKA the nice floral ones least likely to offend. Actually these came from husband's Grandad after his Nan passed away unexpectedly so I refuse to throw them out.
So that's my mug collection! Interesting, no?!
I love mugs and cups and too get sentimental about them. I remember my mum bleaching tea stains out of mugs, but with the dishwasher we no longer do that. Do not let her bin any chipped ones though, you could use them to plan bubs in
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea. Never thought of that one. Thanks x
DeleteThat's the third (or fourth?) Little Miss mug to feature - although the first that doesn't actually exist anymore!
ReplyDeleteI know. It's very sad. RIP Little Miss Naughty mug. Lol!
