    I enrolled so long ago I cant remember the process, I also work in a city centre and I am able to do them in my lunch break, they take about 20 minutes in store and another 20-30 minutes keying in the results.

    Oooh another idea I had is to start getting my hair done at the local college to take it from an eye watering £90 for a full head of highlights to something much less.

    Thanks for adding me to the list, ive edited my signature :) I've just agreed to work 27th December o.t at work so that will be £50-75 depending on if its paid as a premium (time and a half) because its a bank hol so hopefully 75 minus tax!

    To kick off my £2012, I'm going to try putting some stuff on eBay. I had a month of decluttering last month and while most of the cheaper clothes have gone to the charity shop, I've kept some stuff back which I can try on eBay, as well as some postcards and other things. I don't have that much stuff to sell really, so I'm not sure it'll even cover my first month's savings - let alone after that! I'll have to put my thinking cap on as to what comes next :)

    Can I ask, those that do Mystery Shopping, do they take up much of your time? I work in the city centre and have quite flexible hours, I often think it would be something I could do. I used to hear it was a pain to get enrolled, is that the case?

    I joined up with retaileyes but haven't done anything for ages. They always seem to have airport ones so if you travel a fair amount it could be worth your while joining. They are great because you can do them when you're trying to fill the boring 2 hours before your flight.

    I looked at what I made this year and it's not that great. I think I can make the following next year:
    mysurvey £20
    valued opinions £30
    pureprofile £25
    onepoll £40
    retaileyes £20
    ebay £140
    quidco £100

    But that only comes to £375 and I am really struggling to think where the extra is going to come from! I don't get paid overtime but work so many hours I'm not sure I could fit in a part time job. Really need to get my thinking cap on!

    Good idea - I keep thinking about this too, so maybe I will just have to put thoughts into action. :)

    No overtime for me either. I keep looking at second jobs, but due to my childcare, it's limited to when I can work, so there's very little out there.

    When is this 'officially' starting from? Is it only money we receive or save from Jan 1st or are we starting now?
