I've never been in the position where I've had to ask for one before (always changed positions and received them that way)....I'm actually kind of nervous.
Uh-oh, does it have to be today? I'd leave a question like that until Friday afternoon when everyone's a bit happier.

Hi,
Been very busy with church lately - I'm going to find out about being on the list of Bible readers. Other than than I've been either painting or with my head in a book (Clarissa Dickson-Wright of the Two Fat Ladies at the mo'). V. busy at work to day - no one does any filing when I'm off! What are you doing at the moment?

So I'm not alone...I work from home too.
I hate Mondays. Today has been a hideous day- more so than normal. I got into a fight with a colleague 400 miles away in his own home office. And am feeling bruised.
(my distractions today were the window cleaner - he wanted paying for his services (ahem)...., the postman, several irrelevant calls, and the wind and rain beating against the window). |

Are you at the Knoll in Southfield? I was there just last week peering through the showroom window. |

Working from home is not always easy, but at least we don't have to get tarted up to go out ;^)
The dog finally stopped around 6.30 pm, and I now know who owns it. Have to have a word with her next time I see her. |
