I’ve never really understood the attraction of getting suited and booted to go to the office (and I did it for long enough). See, I’m more of a PJs girl, which is part of the reason I love working from home. We don’t have swanky offices in the centre of Manchester as we’ve never quite figured out what the point would be (other than to be closer to Hotel Chocolat and Starbucks). And it seems an increasing number of people agree with us - a recent article in the Telegraph reckons around 60% of small businesses are considering ditching their office or industrial spaces by the end of the year.

With advances in mobile technology and the escalating costs associated with running an office, working from home is an ideal solution. Need more evidence about the growth of home based businesses? Enterprise Nation is a website dedicated to people who run companies from their spare rooms/kitchen tables/garden sheds/full on posh garden offices.

So until someone develops a suit that’s as comfy as my pyjamas and a desk that I like working in as much as my bed I’ll stay right here, saving money, in my home office.
