    1500 swagbucks added this morning for a big survey I did last week, that's £15 Amazon vouchers ordered today :beer:

    The weather was lovely today, hopefully more of the same again tomorrow. So far this week I have stuck religiously to my calories and have hit 10,000 steps each day :T

    That!!!8217;s a good amount of Swagbucks. I!!!8217;ve done dreadfully today so will miss out on my bonus (unless I manage to get a survey later this evening).

    If I'm really struggling I use sweepstakes ... it's a gamble, I tend to buy 2 out of the 3 entries for 25sb each, but that way you can reach the daily target quite easily. Sometimes it doesn't come off, sometimes I buy all 3 (overall loss of 25 sb's, but it means you hit your daily target) :D

    I'm still doing a terrible job with swagbucks (and other sites like that) I'm not in any routine to get on my laptop and get these things done. I sit and search for things to watch on tv instead.

    I need to get more focused.

    Well done on the food and 10000 steps. I'm doing terribly there too. I've no excuses. I just need to give myself a talking to.

    Morning all, yesterday was a lovely day, ds and I went on a train ride then for a 2 hour walk through the forest, very tired at the end but the weather was lovely and it gave us a chance to chat :)

    I need to get a few bits and pieces done today; food shopping, ds homework battle, banking, ironing, and a few other mundane bits.

    The sun is shining today which I didn't expect as I thought after the storm last night we'd be back to normal weather, but it looks nice again so a beach walk with the dog later is planned too.

    Morning :)

    I'm very jealous of your beach walk. I would love to live that close, but here in the Midlands I think I'm about as far away as I could be. :(

    Thanks Frankie, I am very very lucky, I can walk to the beach and you never get bored of it, I tend to use it least in the summer as it's heaving then, the rest of the year it's so calming and peaceful :):)

    One load of washing done and out on the line, beds made, all the windows are open :) Now time to watch the marathon coverage and try to get close to todays swagbucks target :D

    Wow, nearly a whole week since I posted, sorry :o

    I've been very good with the eating / 10,000 steps, 4.5lbs gone so far, still a long long way to go.

    This morning I took the dog for a walk along the beach so have already hit my steps target which means I can chill on the sofa with the footie this afternoon ;)

    My heating / hot water hasn't been working again, but my brother-in-law came round earlier and has fixed it for me :)

    Florence - I have sent you the link for Onepoll, I will log in to Circle later on and send you that one too, thank you :)
