But you did fit right in?

Good point.

For some reason, when PS talks about his home life, I get this picture of a sink estate...

That's because PS and his entire family live in a caravan on the outskirts of a sink estate.

It was actually quite nice not having to see family. Anyone else?

My MIL is back. Drinking my beer - we're talking 3/4 bottles a night here. And has somehow wangled 3 nights a week staying over.
She used to stay before - to help with childcare but as kids got older.

WFH I'm right off at the moment too. Don't think I'd fancy this forever. Alas, public sector client is already talking january earliest. I'd be ok if there was no-one else at home. (Thinking sitting on sofa, beer in hand, etc). Not so good with wife here (she works shifts) and MIL (who I used to see for maybe an hour or two in the evening and that was it).

Tips to retain sanity when WFH please!

Maybe she's lonely.
