Thanks Buffy and Dawn.
My gran is okay. She's at home and has got stitches in her head and a big black eye which she can't see out of.

Yuck. Not feeling too good today and definitely think I've got a cold coming on. Also just coughed up some blood, which is always pleasant
(sorry, too much info).
On the positives today though, I've bagged some free tickets to Chessington in October for OH and I, and got some free cooking sauces to test today.

Thank you

Been up since around 5.30 due to coughing. Coughing up blood is more common with CF. It's usually a burst blood vessel either in the throat or lungs from coughing so hard. Done it a few times. Used to be scary, but not so much now.
On an exciting note, I'm just 200 points away from claiming £50 on You Gov!!!! I've been on there forever and never had a payout. I might throw a party when the day arrives
Must get this bed fund moving along a bit more too. I'm going to try and add something to it each day (even if it's just £1) until I reach my target.

So, I have added another £3 to my bed fund today, but was a bit crafty about it. I basically took the £3 I earned from a Pinecone survey the other day and bought myself a £3 Amazon gift card. Not technically cheating as I did earn it from a survey and there was no way I was going to be able to add anything any other way. Also earned £20 on the questions.
Chuffed with myself today as I've got my niece's birthday presents all sorted. She's got a Snow White doll, a Snow White dressing up outfit and I even managed to get one of the very rare Frozen dolls (they are like gold dust, but I managed to find one in Toys R Us). Yep, she loves Disney Princesses!!
Chest still hurting, but that's to be expected. Will get an early night.

Bit of a bad night last night coughing. Will have to get an early night tonight just in case it happens again.
£20 earned on the questions today, but I don't think I will get anything added to the bed fund. Always difficult at the weekend due to lack of surveys. I've tried to earn £1 from InstaGC, but it's rubbish. I've done some offers but they haven't credited. Might abandon that site.

Sorry I haven't posted for ages. Been a bit hectic. Nothing in particular, just early starts and lots of running around.
It's my niece's birthday party today, so I shall be heading off there in a couple of hours (bowling and a disco).
OH is off today for just over a week (I won't see him again until a week Monday). He's going away with his mate. I'm not bothered, as the peace and quiet is like a holiday for me anyway. I can't let the week go wasted though and need to spend time getting the house clean and tidy. It's so much easier when it's just me here. We have an inspection on Thursday anyway, so it will need to be done by then.
I need to boost the bed fund too. My aim is to get it ordered by the end of the month. Anything extra I get will go towards it (free bingo, surveys, etc etc). Once that's over with, I can start concentrating on clearing my bills arrears (which is another job for this week, get them sorted and in my signature).
We're off to the cinema twice the week OH comes back. Both freebies were from the Times. I did a trial subscription for £1 just to get the tickets. On Tuesday we're seeing Edge of Tomorrow (which we were going to pay to see anyway) and on Thursday it's Grace of Monaco. I will end the subscription so I don't have to pay the whopping £26 a month for it.
I've also renewed my disabled cinema card for another year, just in time for the new X Men movie (Hugh Jackman AND Michael Fassbender in the same film?? :dance:)
Be back later.
