    Glad you are still getting some socialisation. I have heard that it can be quite lonely working on your own at home. I don't know as it isn't something I have ever done. x
    September 2017 Debt = £25330

    Starting afresh.

    You can do anything if you put your mind to it. x

    We have daily catch up meetings at work, some more social and others more briefing meetings- all via Teams, it works well. Obviously not the same as face to face but needs must. Some people won’t want to go back to the office when all this is done.

    Nicnak I think living alone has made it easy for me to adapt to working from home. I speak to a lot of people during the day , so I guess it's not so bad. 

    I echo this Sunshine. My friends and family are staying in close touch and the same with colleagues. I don't think I've ever spent so much time speaking on the phone since all this palaver has begun!😯
