Open Post: How's your week been?

Amelia has an $80-a-month addiction. And it’s taking over her life.

Hey friends and welcome to Mamamia’s Open Post. If you’re a bit new around here, welcome. This is the safe space on Mamamia where we all talk about our weeks. It’s Wednesday, we’re two days away from Friday and sometimes you just need that moment to stop and reflect on your week so far.

I’ll kick us off.

Lately, I’ve been feeling as if love/hate relationships have been taking over my life. It all started when I got back into the habit of buying my essential life-sustaining coffee on the way to work.

I have always gotten up quite early in the morning, and generally I have enough time to make a cup of coffee before I leave, however, I shamefully admit that most of the time, I don’t. The café on the corner of the street my office is on has a great cappuccino, and the service is really great, but it sets me back $4 every single day. That’s $80 a month spent on coffee, not including the weekends. I actually considered cancelling my Spotify premium subscription to save money.

Aside from my ongoing issue with my coffee budget, my mind is consumed by this new book I’ve been reading. Well, at least trying to read.  I’ve read great reviews about the novel. However, no matter how much I try I just can’t get stuck into it.

Has anyone else got any great excuses to justify the money spent on morning coffee or to put down a book that you really should read? I would love to hear (and steal) them.

Anyway, that’s enough from me! How’s your week going?

Please. Stop shaming my instant coffee.

Ever had a barista draw a heart on your coffee? What about a penis?
