I'm intrigued.
Some days I don't brush my teeth until after lunch! I have got in the habit of rolling out of bed, brushing my hair and pulling on clothes then go downstairs just as the morning meeting starts. Then shower and brush my teeth on my lunch break and eat my lunch at my desk! 🙈

Looking at MN!

I haven’t worn clothes that contain a proper waistband in a year. Going back to office attire is likely to be a shock for my (ever expanding) waistline!

Cracking open the wine about 5pm Wine

My work station is set up in the kitchen and I just stress/comfort eat everything, all day.

DialsMavis · 25/02/2021 13:30

Not being properly dressed, either sweaty exercise clothes if I have done some and plan on doing more later, clean exercise clothes of I am planning some later or sometimes PJs if I jusy can't be arsed

Having all the housework, tea prepped done by 3pm and glass wine poured :)....i dont finish until 5

InkieNecro · 25/02/2021 14:10

Having my phone propped in front of me and flicking through TikTok while I work. I also blame lockdown for installation of that app as well.

justlonelystars · 25/02/2021 14:11

Smart top and PJ or jogger bottoms! In my defence I’m 6 months pregnant at the moment so my proper wasitbanded stuff wouldn’t fit anyway

WonkyCactus · 25/02/2021 14:11

Rolling out of bed at five to nine, pulling on a hoodie over my PJs and brushing my hair quickly so I look presentable if I have to switch the camera on during the 9am meeting.
Some days I just put my dressing gown on instead, the camera stays off on those days! Grin
In fairness I have always been a lazy sod who got up at the last possible minute, but I did used to get dressed properly before going to work!

PedrosPony · 25/02/2021 14:17

Raiding the fridge at every opportune moment

mainsfed · 25/02/2021 14:18

Procrastination, procrastination, procrastination.

I should be getting all my work done and then going for a walk, watching TV etc instead I'm taking 12 hours to do what can be done in 6.

Unanananana · 25/02/2021 14:20

Playing Lemmings between emails. Sitting wrapped in a big blanket. And oh so much snacking!!

NaughtyTortie · 25/02/2021 14:22

Underwear being optional.

LemonadeSunshine · 25/02/2021 14:26

Biscoff crunchy spread and a spoon

Touloser · 25/02/2021 14:27

The first hour is either spent in pj's or with a dressing gown overly clothes, and hair doesn't get brushed till 10 minutes before the first video call

dohdohdoh · 25/02/2021 14:30

Two breakfasts. One when I first wake up, another an hour or two later.

therocinante · 25/02/2021 14:47

Not getting dressed, watching Netflix while I work, very long lunches, doing housework while I'm on calls.

I love working from home and to be fair, most of my employees are doing the same - which is fine, as long as the work gets done!

Welshgal85 · 25/02/2021 14:51

Working in pjs! unless I have a video meeting then I brush my hair quickly and put on a smarter top 😂

Also there have been days where I have worked from bed or the sofa!

WhatAreWordsWorth · 25/02/2021 14:53

I can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve worn a bra / makeup since March.

I also ate ALL THE FOOD last year to the point where I felt disgusting. I put on over a stone. I have managed to kick that habit and my diet and exercise are much better now.

BigSandyBalls2015 · 25/02/2021 14:54

Oh and my MN viewing has increased enormously, to the point where I think I might have to go cold turkey

Mellonsprite · 25/02/2021 14:56

Chocolate every day, not brushing teeth / hair until lunch despite showering first thing. Less face washing.
