  • I  have become a social recluse and I am a midget gem away from creating a  friend out of a football.
  • For  sale sites and Ebay have become the most effective way of spending my earnings……………boom!!

Point 8: BARGAIN HUNTING 

As usual I have probably exaggerated how much I spend online. Actually I’m a bit of step toe. (Albert Steptoe is an old scrap man from an old UK comedy) My so called friend actually called me this when helping me clean my shed, and came across thousands of woodscrews. If I see a bargain that is for nothing I want it. I have grand designs on old furniture that I can do up from tutorials on the web. They never get finished by the way. I also have a habit of buying and selling things. The problem is they get bought and not sold.

I was obsessed with car boots at one time, even when pounced upon by feral humans who have no shame in chucking your goods about to get what they want, I still stuck at it. One time I found one in the boot of my car. A feral human that is! Should have filmed it, would have been a great trailer for hills have eyes! 

Still I stuck at it. 

Then one day my family sat me down and demanded I got rid of the 200 dvds, 400 books, various crockery and not to mention the bags, clothes and shoes. They were extremely mean and made me take them to the charity shop. Apparently my idea of making millions from selling second hand goods was a pie in the sky idea. I turned to my husband looked him straight in the eye and said, 'You mark my words Rodney, this time next year we will be millionaires'.

My loft is full of junk yet again. 

Yes I am aware that there are some positives to staying at home and I do now need to make you aware of this, because after all my moans and groans it’s a good life and the good always out ways the bad. 


My reasons to work from home  

  • I spend more time with my animals
  • I can clean the house more
  • I'm saving on shoe wear
  • Spending less on petrol
  • I'm cooking more (Although my lot would say this should come under the reasons to NOT working at home)
  • I can watch Jeremy Kyle
  • I can avoid the cold in winter/work outside in summer
  • I can access group on deals straight away
  • And most of all...I can sit in my pyjamas ALL DAY!

It is actually a really cool life, if you look at it this way !
