    @cathybird I have two cafetieres at home, small and large. Colleges will laugh at me , as I got a flask ( warm water), mini fan (summer) and mini humidifier (winter) on my desk!  Company does provide tea, coffee , biscuits and chocolate, no excuse to spend money , no.
    @Tianfeng2022 I can certainly understand that, and I'd worry about colleague reactions too, but maybe it's worth risking it for the savings! If not, maybe you could keep coffee bags (hidden?) at your desk and quietly add one to the work coffee to make it stronger? xx

    Ah @leftatthetrafficlights that sounds a lovely day for you all. 

    Early call for NSD number 6 for me today. My partner is doing a big shop but I pay towards this and bills by one DD each month, this contributes to me being able to record so many NSDs for sure. This week I did do an essentials shop as he’s been away with work.
