Focussing on working from home.
Working from home routine:
“Wake up, shower. Have a cup of tea and watch Good Morning Britain for 15 minutes. Then make a proper coffee and go into the office for the morning. I’ll come out if I need to but I’m in there working until lunch… then the same for the afternoon, with frequent tea intervals!”
“I’m definitely more productive at home.”
Lunch time thoughts:
“I tend to eat healthier when I work from home. Because my company is a few hours drive I tend to eat more rubbish when I’m driving. At home I have 30 minutes: prepare something healthy, eat it at my desk and back to it.”
“I’m a coffee snob. Won’t drink instant coffee and will take my own coffee with me when I travel.”

“Clothes horses are a pain in the arse! There is never a ‘right’ place to put them and they look a mess.”

“I use Alexa in the kitchen to help me with recipes, the weather… loads really… but he only uses it to listen to music.”

“We’re thinking about getting the Ring alarm system. We saw the telly ad for it and it looks really good.”
