I perfectly agree with your need to separate home and work. I also work at home, and I like it that way, but if it suddenly became too small (if I had a Tadpole), I’d do the same. Besides, all doctors and sleep specialist advise NOT to work and sleep in the same room – your room should feel relaxing for you to sleep well. And if you can’t add an office, find it outside. Did you get this very cute place?

A pied-a-terre in Paris! Sounds so incredibly sophisticated and romantic. Sigh.

Stepping back and trying to be objective – because I’m a fan of Petite’s writing and so am already biased – I’ve noticed that those who are critical (Robert, et al) discredit themselves immediately simply because of their meanness. Most readers/commenters are pretty diplomatic, even when disagreeing. The mean nothings these people leave are worthless and speak volumes about their failings and insecurities. But you knew that, all ready!

Anyway, the Room sound delightful!

KitKat rejects!

Haha, I was just thinking about those giant bags of cut-price rejected Smarties we used to get via someone who worked there. They used to live in our pantry, and I used to sneak in and steal handfuls of them when I wasn’t supposed to.

PA – I asked the question out of idle curiosity because of your reference to the KitKat rejects and because of a comment left on this board.. I have not lived in York for almost 30 years although I still have family there.
We Still have a holiday in Scarborough every summer. By heck we know how to party!

Re: Robert/ Belly and Damian

Robert and Belly – Have you written anything, and if you do, do you allow it for public perusal? or do you simply read other people’s blogs to criticise them.

Damian – FANTASTIC comment and aboslutely right!

Petite – I think that writing is like a picture. Those that like it read it, and those that don’t…………

that’s their problem!! I like your writing and you certainly wouldn’t be so popular if it weren’t very readable! So write on……..

Hmm. I knew nothing about the Independent piece, but sounds like they used one of the Telegraph pics again from July…
