[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2287176, member: 345386"] Whilst I have no basis to challenge that number, I would comment that for those who work from home long term, it is really necessary to have an assigned working area. I have worked from home for many years, and have an office where I work. No "play" happens in there. It is furnished with office furniture and I sit on a decent quality office char. Weekend before last I met up with a friend who has been working from home, due to the current circumstance. By her own description, her apartment is compact, with no room for a bespoke working area, and indeed she was initially working with her laptop on her lap, on the sofa. That is not a healthy way to work. She has managed to be a bit creative, in order to be able to "put things away", but I think if this situation was to go on much longer, something would have to give. Did the additional room in my house cost more than £45 a week? No idea, but the counterside to the saving is the additional spend on other things - whether it be the increase in energy costs, or buying equipment to make working from home workable. [/QUOTE]
