And I'm finished for the day
. Looking forward to hitting £200 tomorrow.
If I post on here again today, it will most likely be to moan about you know who!!

Evening
Well, I have just sat down and earned another £10 today. I did this for a couple of reasons:
1. OH's dad is watching some God awful programme and I was just sitting there bored.
2. I got an email earlier today saying I've won some preview tickets to see Need For Speed on Thursday evening. Not great timing, as I'm on auntie duties on Thursday, which always cuts into my work time. So I thought, if I can do an extra £10 worth of questions today and tomorrow, I'll only have to do £20 worth on Thursday to stay on target - and that's easy peasy.
So, I'm up to £170 now and will be aiming for £220 tomorrow.
Off to do my meds and then might make my excuses and go to bed early
Night night

I've been awake since 4am
. OH and I definitely need a new bed. We can't both sleep on the one we've got. I'm okay for a while, but then I start to ache as, because he's nearly 3 times my weight, he pushes the mattress up on my side and it's really hard to sleep on. Plus it doesn't give me much room. Thank god he can go back in the spare room tonight.
Anyway, I've done £10 worth of questions since then, so only £40 to go today.

Afternoon
Sorry I've been missing in action. The amount and strength of antibiotics I'm taking at the moment (4,000mg a day!!) is taking its toll and causing all sorts of problems. I will get back to normal soon. I stop taking them on Tuesday when I've also got the hospital.
OH's parents are on holiday, but are due back on Sunday evening and are staying overnight again. They are going back first thing on Monday though.
OH and I went to see Need For Speed last night. It was better than I expected. I'm not really a fan of that type of film (I hate Fast & Furious), but it wasn't that bad. Scary looking man on the way in making everyone turn their phones off though :eek:. The rebel that I am, I turned it back on when I sat down. I NEVER turn my phone off!! (but it's always on silent when I'm at the cinema).
Today has been lovely weather wise. It was actually nice to be waiting for my niece in the playground this afternoon. There is a market at our local shopping centre this weekend, so I might drag my OH down to take a look. I've also got a £5 off voucher for Harvester after doing a survey today (which took me 2 minutes!) so I might even treat him to breakfast tomorrow.
Have a good weekend everyone

I hope everyone has enjoyed the sun today
OH and I went for breakfast, which cost us just over £8 with my £5 voucher (drinks were £5 alone!). We then walked around the shopping centre, including the market (which OH wasn't too impressed with). I was very good and didn't spend anything, but did remember to pick up my latest prescription.
We then chilled out this afternoon and watched The Great Gatsby (didn't think much of it TBH). OH has now gone round his mates, so I've got a bit of peace and quiet (just finished watching Ant and Dec - hilarious as always). Now going to see if Murray can win his match.
I ordered my mum's mother's day present from Amazon today. She wants the movie Philomena, which comes out the week before, so it should arrive on time. It cost me £10, but I used my gift certificate balance.
We're also really low on washing tablets at the moment, so I'm thinking of buying a large 85 wash box of Daz from Asda for £12 and then claiming it back on the MBG offer. It would mean we'd have washing powder for ages and it would be potentially free. A great saving.
Enough waffling from me.

Another sunny day to enjoy. I've been round my mum's all afternoon and we went to the supermarket (didn't buy anything, but my sister bought me a piece of chocolate cake
).
OH is bringing his parents back from the airport as we speak. They are then staying overnight, but going home early tomorrow morning. I should have an hour or so of peace and quiet before they get back. I tidied up the flat this morning, so can just chill out. Not sure if I will have to cook them something to eat (I expect his dad will want something), but I've got some stuff in the freezer if necessary.
Better make the most of my quiet flat!!

Our visitors have gone back home now. They got back around 8.15pm last night and bought a Chinese takeaway with them. They seemed to have a good time and bought back OH a pair of cufflinks and me a cat ornament.
Slept terribly last night. OH and I definitely need a new bed. I must try and order one in the next month or so.
I've got the hospital tomorrow morning at 9.30am. I think my lung function has gone back up. I'm going to ask about the new drug that I'm on, as I'm sure that's what caused my LF to drop. I've also got a cluster of ulcers in my mouth, which I think was also caused by it (that's one of the side effects). If that's what it does, I'd rather go without!!
Must get some cards this week. It's my grandma's 94th birthday on Sunday (will just pop £10 into the card) and I still haven't bought a Mother's Day card either. It's my mum's birthday on the 11th of April too, so might as well get her birthday card at the same time. Have no idea what to get her though. Might try to get some ideas out of her whilst I think of it (blood from a stone ring any bells? :rotfl:).
