Tee time, so do a couple of people I know. Beyond my comprehension. I can make a very good cup at home . Not the cappuccino though with all Its calories!?

My neighbours go out in their car to the garage 5mins away and come back with 2 coffees!!! Buy a cafetiere!!

I've never understood having pizza delivered - its must be cold when it gets there either by if from supermarket or make it yourself half the price, twice the food and nice and hot - hate cold soggy pizza.

I do understand where you are coming from mabon1. As someone who has never had pots of money, I tend to add things up - so every week she spends at least £2.00 x 5 = £10. Thirty odd school weeks a year so that comes to £300.

So long as she can afford it - then it's up to her, but I could think of many better ways to spend my £300.

There’s nothing wrong with treating yourself to a coffee. Why not buy a cup for yourself and find out what the attraction is for this young woman? ?

FFS she is an adult so why not if she wants to?
You don’t, so that’s fine.
Perhaps you do things she would regard as ridiculous. Like —spying on— watching a neighbour from behind the net curtains? Somebody needs to get out more. [ hmm][ hmm]

I can only assume she likes her coffee made in a way that she dosen't have the machine necessary to make at home.
Or maybe she fancies the person running the kiosk smile

Maybe the coffee from the kiosk is from a fancy machine and nicer than she can make at home. However, younger people seem to be addicted to having drinks - coffee or water usually- ‘on the go”. And it must be costing them a lot, as well as the environment. I don’t know how we all survived without continuously drinking all day!

Perhaps someone will be able to answer a simple question.
A young woman who lives close to me walks her six year old son to school every day, GREAT, most parents take their child by car this is to be admired, however every morning on her way home she buys a take away coffee from a kiosk in the car park adjacent to the school and carries it home and presumably drinks it there (the coffee cups are no recycleable). Why pay for a cup of coffee every morning, carry it home when one is just 7 minutes away from home, where she could make one herself? To me it seems a waste of money and not good for the environment. Please enlighten me.
