Boatworking with Archie on the canal
71 month ago
Archie Workman is one of the many wonderful home workers I’ve met on Twitter, when he tweeted to tell me that for part of each week he is a narrowboat worker! Archie is a business adviser and mentor to small companies and he mentioned that he entertains prospective clients onboard as a way of [...]
Entrepreneur or home business owner?
23 months ago
by Judy
in Home business
Sometimes an idea will knock around inside my head for a while until I realise it would make a good subject for a blog post. Today it’s been drawn out by a conversation with my marketing consultant, Claire Habel. We were talking about being an entrepreneur and my immediate reaction was that I’m [...]
Home working neighbours

We moved to the mill nine months ago and part of the pleasure of living here is the wildlife we spot from our windows – no need even to put on a coat and go outside!
There are no sheep at the moment, they were moved after the ram had done his business, so we’re looking forward to their return with [...]
A bad day in the home office
74 months ago
Today has been a bad day, ‘one of those days’, when it seems everything you try to do goes bad and you achieve nothing. When you work with other people you can have a good moan and get some help. When you work at home you can’t get away from the frustration and anxiety about not being [...]
Home working good days, home working bad days
67 months ago
Are you having a good day? Yesterday I had half and half. The first job on my list, to transfer some money online, should have taken seconds but the pages wouldn’t load. After several attempts I didn’t know whether the transaction had taken place at all or if I’d done it multiple times, which [...]
Work from Home Wisdom Facebook page
111 months ago
So now you know I’m no expert on social media but one thing I am trying to do with the Work from Home Wisdom Facebook page is to create a useful resource for home workers. As with everything I do with social media, it’s not my own idea. I’ve copied it from The BIG Jelly Facebook page I created [...]

Today’s guest post is by Kalliopi and Diona, an electrical and computer engineer and freelance translator, two work-at-home Greek mothers who got to know each other online. Finding out that they were both working from home, they decided to join forces and create a blog, Mammas Work At Home, [...]

Home working weather from hell
171 year ago
I hate this cold, snowy weather. Hate it, loathe it, detest it. I’ve been longing for a mild winter for several years, but British weather stubbornly refuses to deliver. I know that home workers are supposed to be ideally placed to coast smugly through severe weather with no disruption to their [...]
Home working style page
71 year ago
Hurray, it’s finally time for A and I to reveal the new page on Home working style, which came about as a result of the huge response I received in comments and on Twitter to the post Home working wardrobe. There is a stereotype of home workers not caring about what they wear, but obviously [...]
The final chapter
111 year ago
I came away from Mike Harris’s session on creating a perfect pitch last week with a copy of his book Find Your Lightbulb. I find that reading books by people who have achieved amazing things is a good way of keeping up motivation levels when you’re working from home and not in day-to-day touch [...]
Lightbulb moments
101 year ago
You know how sometimes you stumble upon some information or somebody makes a chance remark, and all of a sudden you have a completely different take on a situation or problem?
It happened to me recently when planning this month’s Frome Jelly and realising it fell on the day before my [...]
How did you come to be working from home?
201 year ago
Graham Cornfield (what a wonderful late summer name!) made a remark in his comment on yesterday’s post (What makes home workers happy) that got me thinking. He said about his home working lunchtime – ‘Wow! I wouldn’t have dreamt of this six months ago.’ It made me realise we all have our own [...]
