I’ve decided to work from home as I’m thinking outside the box so much I’m getting sunburn! Plus, Anya has moved in completely now and she’s happy to cook all the time, so I’m saving close to £150 on my credit card every week on lunch.
Subconsciously, I think I was always moving towards working from home and that’s why I didn’t really try to find an office. Plus, I’ve now got a coffee machine for the bedroom. Fair deal? Ker-ching!
It’s nice having Anya stay here now Lucy’s gone. If there’s one thing she has that Lucy does not it’s pure, unadulterated physical strength. She can lift things that Lucy could barely look at, and has already crushed most of the records Lucy set during Gary Vine’s Home Olympics 2008.
(If you’re wondering, I won all the competitive events at top speed, going from zero to awesome in 0.4some!)
Anya also understands my moods. For example, when she sees me walking around the room like a slow indoor runner, she grabs a pen and paper. If there’s no paper, she’ll left my use her arm or back. When I’m not feeling in a great mood, she’ll simply go into the kitchen and have a lie down on her bed.
My living room is essentially our office these days. With the big screen TV (42 inches of pure TV) and my laptop always on the go, I’ve essentially created a cinema/office/casino hub for whenever I need to watch, work or play. Not a bad way of living.
I received some nice feedback for my SEO tips blog and even received a boost in Twitter followers. It isn’t easy setting up a business, especially when you spend all your time talking about it online. I’m really lucky to have Anya here helping me. Right now she’s cutting up some ‘Business Tards’ – business cards with stupid spelling mistakes. They’re a Gary Vine original!
