    Just a quick update tonight as feeling tired and need to go into work a bit earlier tomorrow.

    I spent £8.92 on some shopping and £10 on petrol today. I have also done my questions for the day so am now up to £42 already :D.

    Evening everyone

    I had an NSD today :j.

    I have decided that £600 is too much to aim for on the questions front. All I seem to be doing is questions! Therefore, I am going to scale it down to 50 a day which will still give me £420 by the end of the month. I will put £300 of that towards my DMP and the extra can either be paid off debts or used for emergency money.

    I want to concentrate more on competitions too so this will enable me to do that. I had an email today saying I have won a make-up kit :D. It is this one http://www.lilylolo.co.uk/kitsgifts.php - Get up and Glow which is worth £45. If I can't use it because of the colours, I will try and sell it on Ebay and use the money towards my sofa.

    No I don't :o. However, I wanted to put in that I earn £300 a month from the questions so that I could pay more off the debts a month. I am ok with doing at least 1,000 questions a month which is what I would need for the £300. If I find that I am struggling, I will tell CCCS that I have lost the extra income.

    Morning everyone

    Sorry I haven't posted for a few days. I haven't been feeling very well. I have got a stinking cold and bad cough. Needless to say I haven't gone into work today and will see what I am like in the morning. Will just rest today and catch up on some sleep.

    I made my first DMP payment this morning of £687 :D. I have also nearly managed to keep up with my questions. I didn't do any on Saturday so am 50 behind, but just doing an extra 10 a day for 5 days will sort that out.

    I want to try and list a couple of items on Ebay every day too if I can. I haven't got that much to sell but reckon I could make around £100 to give to my mum for the sofa.

    Morning

    Still not feeling too good. Have been off work all week. I'm only getting around 2-4 hours sleep a night. So fed up with coughing.

    I went to the hospital this morning for a Glucose Tolerance Test, however 30 minutes and 6 needles later, she still couldn't get any blood from me so I have to go back next Wednesday to try again. I starved myself for 12 hours for nothing :(. Might have something to do with the fact that they took 6 tubes from me just over a week ago. I think my veins have gone on strike!!

    My boss said not to go back to work today and I think I will stay off all week. Hopefully by next week the cough would have calmed down and I might be able to get some sleep.
