As I said before, you need to consult a good lawyer before you can be
sure of this.  Even though it is your idea, implemented at home when
you were away from work, it *may* actually belong to your employer.
Or may not - this varies widely.

But I have known enough people who have been bitten by this fact that
I strongly advise you to make no assumptions without talking it over
with a lawyer first.  Because as soon as you discuss it with your
employer, I guarantee that they will get good legal advice and are
likely enforce any rights they have to the limit of the law.

Cheers,
Ben
