Working from home started as a visceral reaction to an unseen situation but has evolved into the new way forward. Throughout 2020 there were clips going around of people finding that, actually, they quite like not going into the office.
There are a lot of benefits after all: no commute, eating your own food means spending less money, all whilst reducing your carbon footprint in the process. Work/life balance is easy to maintain when you can drop the kids off at school or schedule in an appointment in the middle of the workday. Also, a lack of distractions from water-cooler chat or low-priority meetings means productivity has gone up.
But, what are the things to consider when working from home instead of the office. Let’s take a look.

Wow. What a year 2020 was. So different for all of us in so many ways.
Compared to 2019 I did have a great year financially working from home, but it didn't escape the impact of COVID-19 and my income was definitely slashed as a result.

It’s coming up to that time of year again… no, not Christmas, but the other time of year that all self-employed people start freaking out about… tax return time!
OK, not everyone freaks out as some of us do our tax returns as soon as we can, like in April as soon as the new tax year starts!
I’ve always wondered why people put it off until the very last minute...? I love to get mine out of the way as soon as possible. If you are prepared then you can do this too and stop all the panicking in January!
The only thing I do freak out about is remembering to pay my bill. I have several alarms at the ready near the end of January. I always have the money saved ready to pay it and simply need to log in to my HMRC self-assessment online account to make my payment.
The first year I paid self-employment tax I did actually pay it right away, as soon as I completed my tax return. But the payment just sat there in my tax account doing nothing. They don't actually clear the tax balance due until it reaches the tax payment deadline. So since then I thought it better to earn interest on my tax savings until the actual due date!

If you’re a beginner blogger then you might be wondering how all the blogs that you read have such amazing photography. Whilst many bloggers take it upon themselves to learn photography skills and invest in a ‘proper’ camera as I like to call them, there are also those of us who make do with our smart phones and a bunch of websites that offer free stock photos!
If photography isn’t your thing, or you simply don’t have the time to invest in creating your own images, then finding free images with no copyright is a great way to keep your blog’s imagery looking professional.
There are lots of mistakes that new bloggers make when it comes to finding images on the internet and I am to answer some of these questions in this blog post, such as whether all Google images are copyright free and where you can find free stock images to use on your blog.
