What time of the morning do you start work?

Depends what you'd call work, really.

My most difficult task each day is between 6:30 and 7:15am, which is when I have to use a selection of crowbars to separate my other half from the duvet and pillows. This is harder than any work I have ever done, and I include in that my time working in the packing department of an online store during the Christmas rush. He is not a morning person.

Then I make his sandwiches (this is about the limit of my domestic godessness) and read websites (starting with twitter and blogs, working up to the news) with a cup of tea until I'm awake and he's gone.

Admittedly that's not billable hours, but working from home I find I can't settle down at the computer and work until he is showered and dressed and bag packed and OUT of the house!

Usually I'm getting started on 'real' work or work-related activity by 9am.

Makes me feel really lazy.. I work from home, so wander into my office about 09.30, check my emails and stop for breakfast but I work at times to suit my clients which can be late in the evening any day of the week..

I start at 8 but never really clock off as I will always been looking and checking Google for ranking changes etc..

I don't go to work yet. I just stay at home and surf the internet but I also organize it what time I can use the computer and it is around 9:00-9:15. Because I should finish chores first before I can use the computer.

I am agree with your timings. It is the best time to start work because your mind gets fresh at this time and you can do better work because of fresh mind. You may discover ideas and plannings with fresh mind so I would like to appreciate this time.

On average I start around 5.30 usually emailing / paperwork / ordering materials
leave home between 7 & 8 normally return home around 7 & 8 invoicing and quoting between 10 & 12 then sleep....

9am. When we are officially open.

Normally start around 8:30, and have to wait for a wholesaler to drop of his load at around 9am. But if I have the tyres in advance and you book an early appointment, then I will come out at a time to suit the customer. So far 5:45 start has been the earliest.

I normally start work at 9 so normally get to work for about 8:45.

Usually up with the sun, so out of bed and in front of the computer by 7am, but take a break for breakfast and tea on the deck around 8am.
