Emz so glad to read you are out of hospital and at home

You have inspired me (well you inspire me in many ways!) to do the Swag bucks thing. I reached my daily target today.

I hope you are being lucky in Swagbuck land XXX

Thanks Buffy . I've never done a full month of it, but you get a nice bonus next month, which I think is practically a free £5 voucher, so it's worth doing.

I'll pop over to your diary later to catch up.

Busy morning. Didn't get up until around 8am, which is quite late for me. Meant I didn't start my treatments until later and my OH was intent on sanding down some of my degu's shelves (they get quite dirty, so we do it every so often to make it nicer for them), so I had to keep stopping to help him get them in and out.

Have been at my mum's this afternoon though, so have got a bit of money making done. Second Swagbucks target reached again today and I've claimed a £5 M&S voucher from My Survey (was umming and ahhing over Amazon or M&S, but I can always use the M&S voucher for food if it doesn't come through in time for OH's birthday). I've also done a £1 survey on Prolific.

I'm all ready for work tomorrow and have gotten my mum to let out my work trousers, as I've put on so much weight. They were swimming on me when I first got them, but now fit just right :j. Really looking forward to going back to work and I've got nice shifts next week with some lovely colleagues

We're off to the cinema tonight to see that new Muppet movie (Happytime Murders or something?), so I've bought all my nebulisers round to my mum's to get them done early.

Have had a lovely morning at the funfair. It's my niece and nephew's last day off, so we took them to Hayling Island. They had a great time and it's a very sunny day here. I'm back home now though as I start work at 4pm.

I've claimed another £5 M&S voucher from Swagbucks this morning, including reaching my second target. I've also done a couple of Prolific surveys, but only for about £0.84.

Best news of the day is that I've had an email to say I've won a pushchair worth £369!! I'm so pleased. I will sell it when it arrives, but even if I only get £200 for it, I'll be chuffed!! I haven't really been entering comps recently either, just a few here and there (won a toy for my nephew and a PS4 game recently). Makes me think what I could win if I really applied myself.

Considering that win, I might start doing more of them. I'll keep up with Prolific and Swagbucks, but then will dedicate the rest of my spare time to competitions. If I get the pushchair by the end of the month, that will pretty much cover my £10 a day challenge anyway.

Happy days

Great news on the win

Not such a good day. My poor grandma is very unwell and they are now just keeping her "comfortable", as she's not expected to last much longer. I would go and see her, but she has got a chest infection, so my mum doesn't want me to risk it. Plus my cousin visited her the other day and was very upset by the time she left - I don't want to remember her like that. She is 98 and has had a very long and happy life. Still sad though

I did a Pinecone survey earlier and have reached my first target on Swagbucks (might make the second in the morning).

So sorry to hear about your grandma.
Take care xx

Thanks Lou - my mum is visiting her now.

I reached yesterday's second goal on Swagbucks before the deadline this morning and have reached the first goal today. Might try and get to the second one again this evening. I've also claimed another £5 M&S voucher, so waiting for £10 from them and £5 from My Survey. Hoping they all come through before OH's birthday on Sunday so I can put them all together for him. If not, I'll still get him a voucher (probably £30), but will just have to pay for it. I've already got £5 worth. He also wants something worth £20 at B&Q, so I'll have to go and get that tomorrow or Friday (hate hate hate that shop!!).

I ordered another birthday present for my sister yesterday, some craft kits. They were just over £20, but we had money on PayPal from stuff we've sold on eBay, so I used some of that.

I received a Prolific payment yesterday for £5.24 and have done another survey on there for 84p. I've also claimed a £5 Amazon voucher from Pinecone (so have £20 on there at the moment) and a whopping 80p on Topcashback.

Forgot to mention that the Happy Time Murders is rubbish (that Muppet movie) - don't waste your money!!
