    Work at Asda so worked throughout, overtime aplenty covering for all the furloughed staff, while getting told several times a day that i must be minted earning all that money and no where to spend it.
    However they dont factor in that i have 3 kids who spent all that time sat on their arses eating me out of house and home.
    Earned more money in the last 6 months than any other 6 month period in all my life and never been as skint...

    Worked throughout, gone from working from home around 2 days a week to 5 days a week. Last visited a customer on 13 March. I am now taking a much needed holiday, first time off since Christmas. Although we can't go anywhere of course, not for the want of trying. Lost 2 holidays since it started and tried in vain to see if we could get somewhere this week but can't even get into the Isle of Man. Berlin at New Year is already looking pointless as well.

    Been pretty busy at work, although the summer season in the education market has propped us up as it has remained steady. Commercial sector, bit dead really. Concerned about the winter months looking bad now the education sector rush is done.

    The pandemic has proved that we can do most of what we do very effectively remotely. I dont see us ever going back to how things used to be done.

    Worked from home. The busiest I’ve ever been in this role. Not moaning about it too much as others are in a much worse position.
