I forgot that the kids have a computer in their bedroom, And in the loft which other half has boarded he has about 3 at the last count. He's computer mad drives me mad too especially when he packs up at night with the noise of him shutting up the loft hatch always wakes the kids up. Debbie

well I am not under the stairs, could be arranged though if it Thunders. I might be a bit posh as I have my own quite large computer room, complete with en-suite bathroom. Its great cos when I want to sneak on the board I say "just going for a shower Ray" Then I turn the water on and have a quick gander on the boards. Think he is getting suspicious though, as I have had three showers already today, and done nothing physical to work up even a modest sweat lol.

Norah Just had a peek at your photo. Your understair hidyhole is a bit more luxurious than mine! Yes I'm back under the stairs tonight, and have been there pretty much all day too as Wednesday is my "work from home" day. It's getting a bit warm in here. Angela

I'm on a laptop in the front room. Huby too mean to let me use his pc upstairs which he only uses to play games on. We're moving soon and they already have under the stairs set up for pc area.

I'm lucky as I have a study at the back of the house which overlooks the garden. Right now the window's open and the sun is shining from a clear blue sky. I'm being helped in my research by my personal assistant - well the cat's sat on the death certificate I'm trying to read anyway !!! Rick.

I'm not under the stairs (I think I'm too big) but I have a nice little 3rd bedroom/boxroom - not very much bigger than the cupboard under the stairs - which I use as a computer room and where I make my greetings cards. We were canny when our PC needed upgrading - instead of selling it for nearly nothing, we bought a new one for our son and kept the old one for ourselves. And it worked so much better without all his games on it!!! NOw there's no fighting at all!

I used to have my desk in the corner of my bedroom, but then decided to use my living room for living and not just a TV room. So we are comfortably ensconced in an alcove in the living room with Snooker on the telly at the other end of the room. HOWEVER SWMBO has made "It's time to move your office into the back room" noises so . . . .
