Hello,

Happily working from home negotiating better deals for house purchasers.

Love it. Wish I had done it a long time ago - and my wife does a pretty mean lunch too!

Hi
I work at home too! I sell personalised chocolate bars and mainly sell online and in my local community. I only started a couple of months ago and it seems to be going ok so far, I have my first fayre next weekend so this week will be quite busy making up all the chocolate bars. I find I have to do all this in the evenings after my 2 boys (4 and 2) are in bed otherwise I would have have nothing to sell!!

I work from home as well running the modelling agency, also doing freelance sales for a printing company. I have a 5 year old and a 2 year old, and the youngest is at nursery 3 days a week for when I have important paperwork and calls to do. (Apart from this week, as he is home with me nursing the lurgy, crayons everywhere!) I felt very guilty at first as I had no intention of sending him to nursery until he was three, but he absolutely loves it and misses it when he doesn't go!

Wink WFH with Kid(s)

At night it does the trick but honestly my daughter is an early bird, so I have to get up at 7 max, so I work at night as much as I can, bur I tend to crash in flames around midnight.

In the morning I usually wake up very early and take care of most of my emails at that time, very early, with a coffe, before she wakes up, that also shows your clients a lot of commitment and usually you feel more aware of what you are doing.

That does the trick for me and my sector, I just don't feel too bright late at night, so early morning, I can't sleep anyway.
