    I'm at home. Keep logged on and pop on when I get a spare minute. Madam is asleep having her afternoon nap at the moment and I really should be tidying up her toys, but can't be bothered as I've already done that several times today!

    Can't go on at work unless I am on lunch as will get in biiiiiig trouble!!

    I too have often wondered what the "regular savers" do for a living. Time just seems to fly by when you're on here. I work from home so while I am learning new ways to save money i'm not actually making any!!
    It is unwise to pay too much but it's worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, all you lose is a little money... that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot...it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better (John Ruskin - 19 ctry author, art critic & social reformer)
  • Yep I am, but I work in a fairly chilled out office and as long as my work is done, the powers that be are not fussed if I am on the net.

    I look on it like a tea break :)))
  • I'm on at work too, depends whose in the office when i come on though, lol.

  • I'm working too - but I work from home, for me, so no one apart from me to tell me off!

    That said, Oh has taken the little lights out for the day to give me some peace to get work done, and I'm still on here.

    Tsk tsk. I shall have to dock my own pay!

    We have to be really careful at work, but I did sneakily see if I could access this site...and I can!! :j
    Havn't tried posting though, tend to leave that until I get home.

    Hiya,

    I'm at home now, I do have a look during my lunch hour, and occasionally at other times in the day, but I never log on, as too scared - my cousin nearly got sacked from her job for logging on to a dating website, her boss called her into his office and asked her if she had a problem!! turned out he had all the times she'd been on it printed off, and somedays it added up to over half a day's work time. she was about as obsessed with that website as I am with this one, not to mention extremely embarrassed as she couldn't deny it, so had to just fess up! , so I daren't look much at work incase I get carried away!

    :rolleyes:
