Hi I thought it would be good to get an idea of when people visit these boards. At the bottom of the home page,there are always loads of names of people who have been here in the last 24hrs, BUT when I am on here there is often just me or one or 2 people. Now I know that I visit at odd times, often late evening, but it got me wondering, if one wanted a reply to a query, when would be the best time to post? Do you visit whilst (sshhh! ) at work ? evenings? or when? Just being nosey really, but sometimes it's nice to get instant feedback

Mostly after dinner at night, dip in and out at weekends at various times!
Never when at work as forums/facebook etc are blocked! LOL

I generally get on here about 6.30ish for about 15 minutes before I have to bath the kids and put them to bed whilst Mrs FA is out at work, then I get back on here about 8.30 - 9pm and then I'm only on as long as I feel like it, usually on and off for about half an hour to an hour.

I try to come here before i go to work in the morning but that depends on what time I get up at. Sometimes I can't sleep well so get up very early although I don't start work until 8 or so. I like to pop on here when I come in from work but sometimes can't because my back is too sore and It's so painful to sit but I try. ;D Don't normally be here late at night, too tired to sit at the pc, don't have a laptop. On my days off I'm on and off here all day. ;D

About 9am just before breakfast to see if there are any 'new' posts, then on and off depending on what I plan for the day--but I am very seldom on after 10pm.

I'm on here more than I should be during the day but in the evening I'm on from about 7.30 to bed time, not always watching though, I go on another board too (NOT a gardening one, this is the only gardening one ;D)

I usually check in when I start work around 7:30 and then pop in during the day. As a homeworker, it's my equivalent of a quick chat in the kitchen. I finish about 4:30 and it's rare for me to be on the laptop after then, but maybe when we've stopped fixing the house and we have somewhere to have the laptop I will.

I come on at breakfast, having my cuppa, I come at lunch time when the kids are asleep, after they go home I put the tea on and then come on for a while ;)and evenings for an hour or so, except thursdays when OH is out playing snooker, then I stay longer to chat, if any one is around. am I making sense. ;D another board I used to go on some stayed all day, it used to cause big rows, if any- one asked how they found the time

I'm on and off all the time (but mostly in the afternoon/evening) and I sometimes log on at work too but I can't get onto all the threads from work because of the filters. I log on more in the school holidays.

I don't need much 'ugly' sleep Jen, that's why I am on late, having a wander, looking at all the lovely photos folk post. And I wind down on the PC playing sudoku, mah jong and scrabble before I go to sleep, it empties my head I don't get on here very often first thing in the morning, I read the newspaper, watch breakfast news have my cup of coffee, stick the washer on and then if the weather is fine I have a potter, maybe take a few snaps if something catches my eye. If it's wet I may do some housework, or get my paints out I have a cuppa about 11am and will try and have a quick look on the board, say hello, pass half an hour in pleasant company And then if it is raining and I am on the PC I stay logged in. Not usually on between 8 -11 pm though x Tig

When GWD started my then job allowed me to log-in pretty much as I liked during the day. I've changed jobs twice since then and whilst access was difficult at the previous job, I can now log in at lunchtime without problems and occasionally through the day. We also make extensive use of Skype Chat at work so RF can get in touch with me unobtrusively by that method throughout the working day if necessary.
At home I am on most evenings from around 8pm (sometimes earlier, sometimes later) usually for several hours and often beyond midnight! My weekend visits depend to an extent on the weather and what I am up to outside.
If anyone wants anything from me, they can just drop me a PM and I will answer as soon as I can.
