I have noticed that the number of people on line seems to go down here as it does on my site. So does everyone use the internet at work or what?

I cannot use the internet at work - just at home - must admit if I was able to use it at work, work wouldn't get done. I am on downsizer at different times, just depends when the PC is available as Lundy does a lot of catching up on his work e-mails from home.

Unless you're jema and then he's on during our night. I tend to use it most when I'm at home, but there are quite a few who look mostly from work.

we certainly have a weekly as well as a daily pattern. Saturday has always been the low spot for us.

Whenever I can, do some work then relax by browsing. Although tonight it might take a few bottles of wine to relax

I guess saturday is a doing thing day for downsizer people - I tend to log on with morning coffee when I'm not at work, and with post-work glasses of wine (about 6.00) when I'm not, but then I guess I'm not typical!

First thing in the morning, before everyone is up I do here, RC, The hunger site (and others), hotmail and e mail. Morning coffee time, Just before getting the children, and the evenings. Sometimes I stay on all day, if I am on paperwork, then I limit myself to one post then write a letter, or do a job, then another post, etc. Other days, just the evening, if I am too busy.

As i work from home I am off and on all day. I tend to do my housework first thing, check e-mails round 9.00 - 9.30 then after luch I do my wedding orders. Check posts around 7ish after I have had a bath. If hubs is watching some machinery or engineering tv will come here, but then come on for half an hour just before I go to bed. Agree with what is said about it being addictive and was pleased the decision was made not to have a chat room thingy!

Mine is similar. Once the I've done the school run I set off on a daily walk then log on with a coffee, when I get back. I try not to stay on too long but sometimes its 10.30 before I think I really must go and DO something. Other days I'll have the computer on and check periodically inbetween housework as a little diversion say from the tedium that is the ironing.

I try to make a habit of not being on here at the weekends, but I had a couple of important e-mails to do so thought since the computer was on...

Either when I'm online doing some work, or when I get time at other points in the day. Usually when I get the e-mails saying that someone has replied on one of the subjects I have contributed on, or a quick scan through to see if there any subjects I'm interested in/can be of assistance with.

It varies depending upon what we are busy with at the time, but I tend to find a lot fewer people online at the weekends. I have a look when I have time, but it goes so quickly on here, that I don't usually have time when I finish
