When it comes to working, it's no secret that it can cause stress depending on the demands of your role.
There are many different ways to deal with and manage this stress and one woman has claimed she copes with the 'challenges' of her job with Pokémon toys.
Businesswoman Abbey Simpson has shelled out a whopping £4,000 to fill her home office with around 300 Pokémon items, including cuddly toys, posters and even a fire extinguisher.
The 29-year-old has been collecting the cartoon memorabilia for over 12 years as part of a one-woman mission to 'catch them all'.
She claims she'd rather spend her money on Pokémon than on a night out.

Abbey's work from home space is decorated wall-to-wall with Pokémon items, which she says help to brighten the room and 'clear her mind' if the job becomes tough.
The toys cost around £20-£30 if they were imported from Japan and around £10 in the UK, meaning she estimates she's spent £4,000 on them in total.
Abbey, who lives in Nottingham has garnered an online following who think her office looks just like a toy store - but she has also been trolled for 'wasting her money.
Her fascination with the collectible creatures began during childhood and has endured into her late 20s - including three years living in Japan where she bought more.
She says she collects them as she 'likes the way they look' and they 'make her happy', while some even hold special memories.
Her husband, Alex Simpson, 30, isn't 'as big a Pokémon fan' as her but claims he has gifted a few toys to join her cartoon throng and her other family members and friends are supportive of her collection.
Abbey said: "I do it because it makes me happy, not because it's an investment. I'd rather spend my money on this than big nights out or going to restaurants a lot.
"I’ve been using [the office] for work since 2020 and my collection gives me a nice environment to work in.
"It's something to look at and clear my mind if any of my work is challenging.
"I grew up with Pokémon from the age of six or seven when I got a Pokémon game on the Game Boy.
"My collection didn't start until around 2010 - my first plushie was Mew. He's the one I have most of in my collection."
She continues: "All the plushies stay in my office. I couldn't actually count them, but there's probably about 300 of them overall.
"They're mostly there because I like the way they look and I enjoy them. I like arranging them in a way that looks really cool.
"I always try to colour-coordinate them to bring a bit of colour to the room.
"I lived in Japan for three years, and they do different plushies for different events and regions, so some of the plushies are like a memory for me.
"Over the 12 years I've spent collecting these, I reckon I've probably spent £4,000 on them.
"I usually get a new one at special events, like a treat on my birthday or something like that. Otherwise, I wait until a certain collection comes out - which is usually every six weeks or so.
"My husband will sometimes buy me one. He's not as big a Pokémon fan as me, but we'll play the games together."
Abbey began to show off her collection online in 2014, and a large fan account sharing one of her pictures sent the post and her account viral.
She shared: "A lot of people say my room looks like a store. They usually mean it's organised - I take it as a compliment.
"My collection leads to a lot of conversations online. It brings a lot of people in. I'll have people asking where I got specific Pokémon from.
"I also get people who are curious and want to start collecting but don't know where to start.
"I don't really get too much hassle online. Just an odd comment about how it's a waste of money, but it doesn't bother me really."
