My pay has landed - surprised by how big the effect of the NI change is. That will help to offset the December c/card bill! 

£8.10 requested from TCB - once that lands I sweep off to OP.

£2.06 survey (all about generative AI use in marketing) on QM33 took me over my self defined cashout level of £5, so that’s £5.75 swept off to OP along with a 60p OP. That’s been a good stat to the day 😊

I'm so impressed by your Qm perseverance, it drove me up the wall. I can't begin to imagine how long a £2.06 survey must have taken!

I've been banging away at the Pr1me ones and have nearly made it to a £10 payout only to discover it will be on a gift card.  Annoying too that when I click on a survey it says I'm accepted, I spend 5 minutes answering questions and then they kick me out as not who they want.  Not too bad if they give you a point or 2 in compensation but that seems less than half.

I was lucky - it was 8 minutes - those are pretty rare! 😊

That put me off Prime initially too, but if you scroll hard right you can find PP payout which I then transfer to my bank and pay the OP from there. 

The £8.10 TCB has landed so that’s another OP today 😊

I am feeling virtuous! 😇
Come home after a busy day - we have a supplier business continuity issue that has kicked off this week … 🙄😳 and finished the write up for the job interview from Monday night along with a recommended probation process and sent it off to the PC chairman. 

Put my bedding in on to wash along with my dressing gown after my darling cat TRASHED my bed on Tuesday morning! So. Much. MUD! 😂

Copied and shared my spend / budget categories for one of the younger members of my team who is starting to look at whether he can afford his first home … I have also included a link to MSE’s first time buyers guide 😊
Had a £11.80 refund from Giggleclear so it was worth making that call on Sunday 😊
Booked two tip slots for the weekend as Mr KK is biting at the bit to get some of the rubble and rubbish from the lounge refurb shifted! 😊
That’s not bad for a work evening 💪👏😊🎉🤩😂

That sounds like more effort than I've ever made on a work night!

I was pleasantly surprised when I stopped and looked at how much I had got done … 😊
But I always feel incredibly lazy compared to Mr KK! 😊😂

Definitely take a moment and appreciate how much you've achieved. Comparison is a trap. It's all too easy to rush on to the next thing on the to do list - but if we do that we never learn to be more in the moment.

Now need to just learn to apply that to myself and all will be well. I'm sat here thinking I've done 6 hours work, I've seen my counsellor and had food - but not achieved anything else today (aka on the house)... Hopefully I'll get an hour or two in this evening (I'm a night owl) and then start fresh tomorrow.

Thanks @savingholmes, wise words 😊
Don’t forget how much energy it takes to do the unpacking that counselling requires. 

If an hour is all you do on the packing today, one box, one drawer, just a survey of what is left so you subconscious can work on it overnight - it all helps.
