I'm TFH for health reasons but I'm sure the boundaries will be re-drawn in time.

I'll miss being able to walk my dog in daylight in the morning.

Pottering around when Teams meetings are running, leaving my avatar on screen.

I loved my commute, listening to audiobooks, driving by the sea every day, but my god, what time waster.

Not having to wear a bra.

I won't miss all the screen time - has given me a bad back.

I'll miss actually being able to tick off everything on my to do list during the working week. For once I have been able to start Friday evenings thinking I have done everything I intended to this week and fully switch off for the weekend.

Also l time with my family, getting up 1 hour later in the morning, Joe Wicks, being on top of the washing and getting a cup of tea when ever I want.

I will not miss teams lessons with yr 12 - an hour where I just seem to talk to myself or have to think up crazy ways to get someone else to speak. I'm looking forward to just being in a classroom with them.

Weekends.
Taking my own children to school on my WFH days.
Dog on my feet.

Walking my dog at whatever time I want instead of 5am.
Doing all of my work on an evening instead and having the days free so I can sit out when it’s nice.
My slippers.
Not being sworn at on a daily basis.
Not missing parcels because I’m at work.

Dogs are featuring significantly in this thread.

As they should.

I think I've broken mine Sad

He hides from me whenever I want to walk him now and I had to practically drag him on the walk this morning.

Either he's getting old prematurely or I've walked him too much!
