That sounds nasty. Are those the drops that dilate your pupils?

Yes, my eyes have gone huge. Slowly able to read a bit more now! Looks like it's going to be a tv and film sort of day. How unfortunate that i've got to be lazy.....

Thanks paulshorse - though I wouldn't place any money on my maths skills, I think you're spot on.

While I greatly applaud Swagbucks for trying to come up with a new idea, the rewards system appears to be very underhanded against people trying to do every day (or nearly) of the target this month.

It does seem to be penalizing the very people who generate the most income for Swagbucks. Each time we click on a video, watch SBTV, complete a survey, complete an offer, do a search etc it is all earning money for Swagbucks. I know there are people who for one reason or another cannot reach the daily goal every day, and it is good that they will benefit from this team challenge. However, what they seem to be doing is compensating for the additional bucks given to those members by taking them from those who consistently earn them money. I really don't think that they have thought this through (which is obvious from the fact that they had not even realized that there would only be 28 days to hit the targets - even now they are still referring to 30 and 31 days in parts of the official blog rules).

Rant over - I will still do my best to get the daily goal every day for team zombies

Reached 56/40 now. And my vision is slowly returning! Yay.

You have my total admiration for being able to put those eyedrops in. It makes me feel queasy just thinking about it. I dread even going to the opticians and if I have to put eyedrops in my eyes I usually get half the bottle all over my face before I manage to get one drop in my eye. I know it sounds stupid and wussy but I think I must have an eye phobia

I hope you've found something good to watch on TV. My OH has to have those drops every so often and he can't do anything much afterwards. He finds dark glasses help a lot.

I was walking through town with sunglasses on and getting very odd looks, considering it's raining and about 3 degrees. I've got all the curtains shut now, heaven forbid any light get in.

Won't lie, I wasn't the best patient! As soon as the optician got anywhere near my eyes just clamped shut. Luckily don't have to do it again for 3 months!

Afternoon All!

(((hugs))) to antoniarose, hope you feel better soon x

Reached target 40/40, but only just, was on 39/40 with no vids left and realised I hadn't done the Daily Poll...YAY! Got DQ'd from PL survey before it even started *yawn* and yesterday's Daily ticket was still up, told me the survey was on TV (great:)) but stuck on a blank page, so still have that to do later.

While typing this I typed "sick of the Bond advert" (as I've had it 4 times in less than an hour) and......
Congratulations!
You've won 33 Swag Bucks
See what this can get you in the Swag Store

I'm secretly glad to have an excuse to hibernate and not go to work or doing any uni assignments. And with the screen super huge I can still sort of focus. Suspect it could be a Mad Men marathon soon.

Leaving SBTV running in the background, determined to pay for my over-priced law text book out of swagbucks vouchers!

Hope it wears off soon! I felt so umcomfy I just went to sleep, then kept my sunnies on for the rest of the day!
