		<description><![CDATA[One of the few drawbacks of working from home is that you're often stuck with whatever food you have in the house for lunch - you won't find any sandwich vans visiting like you would at an office.

However, with the perks there can be lots of distractions to watch out for, such as the television, family members, cats walking across keyboards and the numerous tea breaks. While distractions aren’t a problem from time-to-time, it is important not to let them occur on a regular basis otherwise they will start to have an impact on your work.]]></description>

Being able to work from home and work to your own schedule (with no boss telling you what to do) sounds like heaven to most of us.

		<description><![CDATA[Working from home is great. The feeling of freedom and flexibility it provides is absolutely priceless and I wouldn’t give it up for anything in the world. There is however one problem. Working from home means I regularly have to put up a fight against a big hairy beast. I have a nickname for the beast. I call it Distraction.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you're a work-from-home freelancer, you may very well have heard of Jelly, the popular co-working group. Born in 1996 out of two New York freelancer's loneliness, Jelly groups became more popular and finally came to the UK in late 2009, and now over 60 events per month are held across the country. The thinking behind these events is that although working from home is great, sometimes it can get a tad lonely.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, I read about a concept called “social jetlag”. Scientists coined the term as a way of describing the effects of returning to work after Christmas. Personally, I haven't experienced traditional jetlag because I refuse to board a plane, but it seemed to me an exaggeration to twin post-Christmas blues with the physical effects of flying to the other side of the world and adapting to a completely different body clock.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The nature of homeworking has been thrust into the limelight thanks to the heavy snowfall forcing many workers to perform their duties from home. The BBC recently run a piece entitled 'Is Working from Home a Skive?' How dare they! What do they think people like me are doing, watching Jeremy Kyle only to occasionally pull myself away to bash a sentence together?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have you been outside recently? Cold, isn't it. Apparently we're seeing the coldest November since 1985, and various parts of England are now blanketed with snow. Incidentally, if you've not seen it, some clever clogs has put together a crowd-sourced map of UK snowfall using Twitter. Make sure to geo-tag your tweets and include the hashtag #uksnow to be included!]]></description>
