    My camping table has come today to use as my office desk. I have emailed now for my office chair. It fits very well and is a good size. I can then have my dining room table back . 
    That's great.

    I find that my laptop and work overtakes my table too, and I keep making a conscious effort to clear it as it becomes annoying! Glad you've got your new table. x

    We got an allowance towards a desk and chair for which I was very grateful 👍 We will be working from home for the foreseeable future so good to get a decent set up.

    I think we might as well , so I am keeping the receipt for table. It folds up so I can use it for years to come.

    We must be saving them a fair bit of cash working from home so no wonder they’re keen to get us all set up. I’d been thinking about getting a desk for some time so a win-win situation for me.

    Late to the posting party again but another here with a heartfelt plea to keep posting on my diary!
    Camping table looks good - the fact that they fold up too is a plus point as well.  Make sure you put in the expense claim at work!  Getting the office chair delivered as well will make your working day so much more comfortable.

    Pleased you’ve managed to get a table and chair for your home work station - it’s got to make life easier. Do work provide a computer or do you have to use your own?

    I have a work laptop , initially I was using my own old one . Once I realised we were here for the long haul I got a work one. I am hoping my chair gets delivered soon, but can't complain when it's free.
