Yep. Getting paid for it is one definition of professional. I've never got the hang of other definitions - they all seem to involve being up your own backside (or someone else's).

It's not much, but it feels good!

And the hotel agreed to do my laundry over the weekend for collection when I check in on Sunday night, saving a whole bunch of time.

I'm in exactly the same boat. I don't think I've done anything productive since coming back in the new year. Waiting for approval on the next phase before I can crack on.

"Just keep things ticking over", my London based project head said to me.

Yesterday, I completed my self-assessment.

This morning I've applied for my passport renewal - it doesn't run out until June, but I thought I would get it done.

This afternoon I think I might put some more research into my plan B.
