Glad to hear you're doing well
I've found my last couple of jobs kind of through LinkedIn. Its a great confidence booster if I'm feeling down or worried about work I just go look at how many messages there are from recruiters in my inbox. Also when I left my last place I asked for some recommendations from colleagues and they wrote lovely things - its really nice to have that.
But beyond that I don't use it too often.4 -
Thanks kaycastle, still procrastinating at the moment 🙁
But I have been for a walk (much more motivated this morning as the weather is a lot better) and done 39p of surveys on Qmee, so baby steps I think 🤣!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

I have re-acticated my Nectar Canvass account. I stopped doing the surveys years ago as I found them extremely tedious, however with my recent further foray into the survey world I have decided they are no more tedious than any other site 🤣! Having got back onto it this morning, I've already got 192 points/96p and apparently when I was doing it before I earned almost 12,000 points - that's £60 😮! I had no idea it was that much! So expect to see more "cashed-in Nectar points" on my free money tallies going forward!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Whoah, I am totally surveyed-out today.... Perversely, I have provided my age, gender and location so many times I seem to have lost all sense of self 😮!
Fortunately that's not all I've done though, I've also:
* Been for a walk
* Applied for another job and registered with another couple of agencies. Also shortlisted a couple of non-management jobs which I could definitely do, but going to sit tight for a bit while there are still management jobs out there (I'm thinking of the £120k!)
* Signposted my sister to applying for benefits, as she has also now lost her job
* Read - an actual book, not staring at a screen!
Worn out after all that....Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
