I really do feel a ‘teensy’ bit jealous of Mums who WFH but this post showed me a side I hadn’t considered. Still jealous though… Grass being greener and all that….

This is just hilarious – but I’m cringing too, because it’s so painfully like my ‘working’ life. Except I’m less honest with myself than you are about all the procrastination that goes on.

My worst fault is doing the research for a story, then stalling for days before writing it up, because I’m lazy. By the time I get round to it, it’s harder to write, since the material’s not as fresh in my mind. Cue yet more prevarication…

Thanks for the links, by the way.

M&M – I bet you wouldn’t envy my bank statements though!

Alasdair – thank you, and welcome. I loved Man About the House. I wanted to leave home and share a flat with Richard O’ Sullivan instead of living with my boring family.

Lady – thanks. A rule book it ain’t!

Iota – Very sweet of you. You need to pass it on to two people, they just copy the logo into theri site. I think it’s for women, but I’m not sure. I’ve seen the same logo with “girl” in it but the “girl” bit seems to have disappeared.
Anyone else know about that?

THANK YOU!! This is so exciting. And I can’t think of anyone I’d be prouder to receive it from.

Do I just copy it and pass it on? Are there any rules?

Thanks again. And by the way, “trying to cope” just about says it all…

Hi Beta Mum,

I’ve just been browsing and I’ve got to say that the award is well deserved … nice one.

Oh thank you! That’s lovely.

You don’t know how much I envy you, working from home. Shall we swap for a couple of weeks?
