    Morning :)

    Here's a run-down of events since last night:

    10.30pm - went to bed
    12pm-1am - awake coughing
    6am - woke up and tried to go into the bathroom. Cue spinning room and me being sick. Crawled back into bed.

    I have no idea what it was. I managed to go back to sleep and woke up around 9am and feel better for it. I've got a headache, but don't feel dizzy any more. It could have just been that I was tired, but I've never had that before and I have gone without sleep for 48 hours before (literally).

    I'm still in bed now and trying to get some work done from here. I might have to bring my meds and nebuliser in here too. Can't default on my treatments now.

    The questions are painfully slow this morning (only 4 done :(). I've just reached my Swagbucks target with an easy survey though :)

    I'm hanging my head in shame :(

    Bored with the questions being so slow (only 10 answered this morning), I had a little go on JPJ and lost £10. All that work of getting money from App Trailers etc and I've blown it.

    I will try and make amends. I've listed 2 items on Gumtree for £5 each and will try and find some more. I will get that £10 back one way or another.

    Thanks Lou :)

    I have finally got to 50 questions done today, but might take a break now as I'm still feeling a bit fuzzy. I will make up the £20 over the coming days.

    I've done a few surveys this afternoon too.

    Hi Helen - Happy New Year to you too :)

    I feel better today after a long (uninterrupted) sleep.

    I'm just annoyed with myself about the £10 - but lesson learned, I won't be doing that again!! The next free £10 I get from JPJ won't be counted towards my £10 a day challenge t make up for it.

    So, even though I said I was going to stop working last night, I carried on and managed to get up to £120, which means I am still on target. I'm very pleased with myself, as previously I would have said 'stuff it', then fallen behind and then given up. So I'm glad I didn't.

    I've already answered 20 questions this morning, which is a vast improvement on yesterday. I've also reached my Swagbucks target and earned 11p on Qmee. Last night I got 74p on App Trailers before I went to bed too.

    I received my free pens this morning. They are very nice and come in a little presentation box. I'm in two minds as to whether to save them for a gift for someone.

    Another day, another £40 earned. I've done a couple of surveys too (only 1,500 points to go until I can get £50 from You Gov!)

    I'm going really well with my diary. I love writing in what I have earned at the end of the day. It will be good to look back at the end of the year to see what came from where.

    Anyway, I'll say goodnight now.

    Hi Emz :)

    Well done on your earnings!! :j

    The dizzy, sick, headache sounds like a migraine and bedrest is the best thing for it. I have had a few in the past and my vision goes weird at first. Once it's over I am left with a dull headache.

    Keep going you can do it!
