It's what young folk do. Don't worry yourself with it Grandpa, it's not your kind of thing

I don't "get" twitter, I tried to follow Stephen Fry (I love him, I think he's so clever and funny) but I just couldn't get into it.

Yeah, I dont use it, the whole thing is a bit strange, if I had to use it would get pretty boring

DD123 is sitting down with a nice cup of tea and a biscuit

DD123 is thinking about what to make for dinner tonight

DD123 has decided on mac and cheese

Not sure anyone is interested, but like I said, if someone was to pay me, I'm pretty sure I could come up with something!

Anyone in a similar situation?
There's usually plenty of BE'ers around Facebook most days

I "work" from home..... watching the kids that is. Unfortunately totally unpaid of course but it does have the benefit that I can pop on the computer whenever I feel like it

They have given us a programme like MSN it's called communicator but it's only to chat with colleagues.

How long have you been working from home? I only started last week, at the moment I'm enjoying the peace and quiet and the 2 hours I save in travel every day
I work from home. IT stuff, work have given me a NextG connected laptop. Its great. Its not quieter here, I have the kids running around, but I do get more work done.

I've been doing this for 2.5 years. I laugh at the posts about 'hanging clothes out during their coffee break' or 'mowing the lawn during their lunch break'.

WHY!

I do the work that needs to be done. There is no such thing as 'Lunchbreak' or 'Coffee break'. If there is a shitload of stuff to be done, I do it. If bugger all is happening, I'm in the pool, or walking the dog.

I work from home every day, I am out on the road in the Mornings and then I am stuck in front of this bloody computer every afternoon.

I shouldn't moan as I love the freedom of not going into the office every day, but I really miss the banter and the gossip. I should be used to it by now as I started from home in 2000.

Seems I am not alone...thanks for sharing

I am not that big on Facebook - but do like to see a little msn chat throughout the day.

Definitely not on your own - I'm not working from home (trying to find work but that's another story) but I'm used to office banter and end up checking my e-mails on the hour. Tragic. I guess I've never been a better correspondent!!
