Good morning chaps and chapesses
I'm working from home today - this may well involve
some actual work and general fannying about on t'interweb.
Do you ever 'work' from home? Tell us of your procrasturbationary ways, favourite dog-fingering websites etc - liven our days.
Alt: Aldi - just for povvos? (there's even one in Leamington Spa - I'm surprised they let them in TBH)

My Mum and Dad have got a new woodburner in their new conservatory.
The black metal chimney running up the side of the house seems to have upset their neighbour, who tried to complain about lack of planning (turned down and ignored) and has now moved on to complaining to environmental health that there's an illicit business being run out of the garage/shed. The silly fucker is just making himself look like a tit because my dad is so lazy that both the garage and shed are so full of shit that he's he's been obviously ignoring for years it would be impossible to do any "work" in there.
I think his petty squabble will fail because he's underestimated how few fucks my dad is going to give.

I sometimes work from home but its usually to get more done without distraction rather than procrastinating
I don't shop in Aldi. Not because of the quality of the food or the prices but because I can't pack at my own pace and there are too many scumbags in there. I hate shopping anyway and either do click and collect or get it delivered.

When we first moved prems we had to wait for BT to pull their fingers out and put the proper internet line in
And a lot of the office staff were allowed to work from home but seeing how much time I waste in a day when I am "in" the office I decided that if I worked from home I would do fuck all. So I would tether my work phone and come into a massive empty building it was great.

I don't ever work from home. I don't have the sort of job at the moment that you can really do from there.
This may be slowly changing, though.
The bane of my life at the moment are Change Requests. To make a change that requires all of two minutes of my time, I have to fill out twenty minutes of bureaucratic shite.
