    Never mind blurred background - I use BBC Archive sets - I especially like the 1960s Tardis and the Steptoe & Son sets - here's a link for hours of enjoyment!

    Also, have you considered an electric sit/stand desk? our office had them (no fixed desks) - they were great as you could just bring them down for a little break

    @Suffolk_lass you have transformed my voluntary work zoom calls. That is the most fabulous link. Cant really use it for professional work calls - but - I'm so using that for the future regulatory calls plus the voluntary body work. What fun :)

    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
