Steph101 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Just wondered.... How do we all find the time to post so much? This is such an active forum. My excuse is I'm a graphic designer for a newspaper, and because of the slump in advertising, I've got a bit more time at the moment. Is this one of the reasons we're in a recession, I wonder? 'Cos we all play on the internet so much ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkshire Pudding Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I don't post from work - there's no time and all internet use is monitored closely. However I'm lucky enough to be part-time and tend to keep an eye on the forum when I'm at home (with lots of from my DH). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanson Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I post at lunch and sneek a quick look throughout the day when I need a brain break (usually about every 30 mins!). I'd look at home more when I have a burning issue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 i'm at home with the children most of the time, plus do bits of work from home, so the forum always tends to be on the laptop in the background and whenever I have a tea beak I pop on to see whats happenin' (trouble is the tea breaks get longer and more frequent ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Nope Worked for 42 years without a break, retired about 2 years ago To be honest I don't know how I found the time to go to work, I seem to fill the day with all kinds of tasks. I spend far too much time browsing the forum, usually start around lunchtime when I let the chickens out to f.range. My excuse is that I need to keep a close eye out for foxes and keep one eye on the chickens and another on the doings in the forum Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I work very part time.....much of it can be done from home,...so I hop on and off the forum when I need a distraction. Had to actually go in yesterday and today, and have been verwhelmed with red arrows when I log on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 (edited) I'm a mother of 4, ranging in age from 10 years to (nearly) 16 weeks. The elder 3 are currently on holiday from school. Squidger is sitting on his bouncy chair investigating his feet, while occasionally giggling at his eldest brother. Today, so far, I've done the shopping, I've hoovered and dusted the rooms upstairs, I've hung out the washing, then folded it ready to be ironed, I've been to the next village to arrange the purchase of a bigger dining table, I've made shepherds pie for tea and fed and watered the aforementioned children. Some (chookiehubbie!!) would say I don't do any work at all.... Edited July 11, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I do some work from home for my OH but only a few hours a week with some office time when he has a big job on. I am a dab hand with a photocopier Apart from that I am a 'home manager' but I should really be sacked, don't do half enough housework etc too busy browsing on here. I usually come on when i have a cuppa and my lunch but as Snowy said those times seem to run and run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ana's flock Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I also work for OH, from home. I do design of training programmes and workbooks, training delivery, bookkeeping, all PA typing, binding and that sort of thing. Now it's very quiet (not much to deliver or prepare at the moment), so I am painting - have an arts degree gathering dust somewhere so I decided to dig out the oil paints and got on with 'dirtying' canvases again. One of these days I'll do a website and post pics of my paintings... ...I keep saying... Sometimes I knit - at the moment I'm making puppets for the boys. Other times I just chicken-watch... can see them from the offices French window when they free-range as their dust/compost paradise is just in front of the door/window. Usually have the Omlet forum on the background of the Mac, so I nip in during the day. I like to keep amused... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
