Further to my post last week about home working routines on bank holidays, I decided on a kind of half-way course – to do a post today but to make it a lighthearted follow-up to the piece on home workers’ pets. As well as the comments on the post, I received quite a few tweets. [...]

Amongst the recent home workers’ favourite things featured here were a couple of cats and watching birds in the garden. It’s started me thinking what the best pets for home workers are. I’m a cat person by nature, although I’ve been cat-deprived for a long time now since my elderly tabby and tortoiseshell departed this [...]

Last week I mentioned a public speaking event being run by Triumphant Events, whose talks and workshops I’ve gained a huge amount of both information and inspiration from.

Thanks to everyone who contributed their favourite home working things over the past few weeks. I, for one, love to catch a glimpse of other people’s home working lives and I’m sure we’ll soon come back to the topic – keep those photos coming! Now my clever partner A has suggested another subject that lets [...]

The Workhubs Conference in June was a wonderful day spent listening to people from all over the UK who are committed to providing coworking space for home workers and freelancers, sometimes in difficult financial circumstances.
