I decide to have a lie in!

I am working from home today, waiting for the last piece of my wardrobe to be delivered - I only ordered this back in December so I am not holding my breath for it to arrive today. I think I'll roll over and have another couple of snoozes.

I bet no one has ever thought about having a lie in when they're working from home.

Hmmm, it's coffee time but it looks like the cafetiere is dirty and if I'm washing that up then it'd be rude not do the other few dishes wouldn't it? And I wouldn't want to annoy the dishes. Last dish I got on the wrong side went to Brighton to set up a love shack with a spoon. Thankfully, this time, there is no spoon.

I bet no one has ever thought about doing the washing up when they're working from home.

"What is it about working from home that makes housework seems so appealing?" I think as I pull the vacuum out. Housework seems fun today, maybe it's the fact that I know I shouldn't be doing this. It's the danger of it all! What if I got found out?

I draw the curtains.

I bet no one has ever done the vacuuming while they're working from home.

I like the idea of being able to work in my Pyjamas, however the last time I suggested we do it at work, the women in the marketing department were innundated with meeting requests and I ended up in an all day training session with the Porters. But it's approaching midday and I suppose I better put some proper clothes on. The iron glides across my t-shirt and I realise that I am enjoying this. Maybe that's the answer to making house work fun - only do it when you're supposed to be doing something less interesting and more painful. So next time I'm asked to "talk about my feelings" I'll whip that ironing board out so fast.

I bet no one has ever done the ironing while they're working from home.

Oooo, I know what I'll do now. My weightlifting gloves are falling apart and need a few stitches putting in them. I get out the needle and thread and after putting about a dozen stitches in, it strikes me that a picture of me sitting here with a needle, thread and weightlifting gloves could be used in the future as the exact definition of metrosexuality.

I bet no one has ever done some sewing while they're working from home.

I sit down at my computer and begin doing some work.

I bet no one has ever done any work while they're working from home.

The doorbell rings.
