In Halifax, the popular coffee shop, Coffee Rules Everything Around Me, known as CREAM, have come up with the ultimate remote working package.
Tired of forking out for cups of coffee just for a seat at the table? Us too.
There's nothing worse than trying to work hard and make that cuppa last until you hit your word count.
So when CREAM announced that they will be offering a flat day rate for remote workers to take advantage of, we were all ears.
The £15 a day package includes everything you need for a full productive day at the remote office.

Come in from 8am and pay up, then the food and drink just keeps rolling in.
In the morning, you'll get a croissant to start the day: because who can start the day on an empty stomach?
Once you start getting peckish again, you can choose some brunch from CREAM's plentiful menu and that should see you through.
Until 4pm, you will also receive unlimited soft drinks, wifi and, perhaps best of all, you're guaranteed a table with plugs.
Neither you nor your laptop will ever run out of charge again.
If you're a religious post-work drinker or you just fancy a pint to finish off the day, the staff at CREAM will grab you a lager as part of the package too.
Given the high prices of coffee and croissants, this is might be a serious consideration for any city commuter.
Swap the hustle and bustle of Leeds city centre and spend the day in suburban countryside with views of the Dales for miles around.
Halifax is the perfect place to change up your usual 9 - 5 remote working routine, but if you can't get down to CREAM during the week, they do an delicious bottomless brunch deal with unlimited espresso martinis on the weekend.

Announcing the news to Instagram, Belgrave said: "The world famous Traitors finale screening is back at Belgrave! In the past we've been graced with the presence of OG Faithful @theomayne1, plus our Clauds has been known to make an appearance (please scroll for evidence)... twists and turns are promised 👀"
So to give this series of The Traitors a proper send off, get yourself to Belgrave Music Hall from 6pm and enjoy a few beverages with like minded fans whilst screaming at the screen as Claudia makes her way into the frame.
Whilst we're on the topic, has anyone got an incredibly glossy black fringed wig we could borrow?

Hollywood Vampires formed in 2012, named after Cooper’s celebrity drinking club of the same name where the aim was reportedly to ‘drink until no one could stand up’.
Over the years, the supergroup has worked with the likes of Paul McCartney, Dave Grohl, and Zak Starkey (formerly the drummer for Oasis).
A Three Presale for tickets will take place from 10am on Wednesday 21 January, followed by a venue presale on Thursday 22 January, then general sale from 10am on Friday 23 January.
