I could drink 4 pints of milk a day easily. I love the stuff.

When the children were all home, I used to buy bread and milk eveyday as I never had anywhere to store enough. x

We only have milk in tea or coffee. Bread is bought a couple of times a week.

I get through 3 or 4 cartons of soya milk a week and Dave makes a couple of loaves of bread each week. He drinks normal milk and we usually get that in the corner shop rather than the supermarket.

I take proper skimmed milk to work and we have the 1% at home and usually get through four 2 litre cartons a week.

I love fresh bread but cannot stand the smell of milk. We use Cravendale in our house as it smells less x

I used to drink milk but now I'll only drink it if it's in hot chocolate so I can't taste it. I stopped drinking it as I had stomach problems that I thought might be caused by milk but by the time I realised it wasn't the cause I'd gone off the taste!

I bought some of that new Alpen porridge the other day and made the first one with milk but the smell made me feel sick so I tried the next one with water and it was lovely. Strange really because I was raised on a farm and we drank full cream milk every day!!

I read an article last week saying that full fat milk is actually no worse for you than skimmed as it's still classed as a low fat food. If I was going to have milk it would be full fat rather than watered down emulsion paint, e.g. skimmed!

I don't like full fat milk at all now, even semi skimmed I find too creamy.

I love skimmed!!!

It's like water!!! I tried it when I was trying to lose weight before but there are some things that I refuse to compromise on!

You get used to it and now I find anything else much too creamy. I'd rather drink black coffee than have full fat or semi skimmed.

Hubby used to have gold top. Just the thought of that or full fat makes me feel sick!!

Silly thing is though I still love a liqueur coffee with cream floating on top!!
