A continuation of the £2012 in 2012 topic as started by Mennie, found here - http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=3662857

Introduction quoted from 2012 topic
Right who's with me?

I am setting myself a challenge of generating/ making savings of £2012 in 2012. I read the millionaires challenge and Make £10,000 challenge, but they are just a tad out of my reach:p

I work full time, have a loooong commute and various other commitments so just dont have the time to commit to those amounts.

This year I have kept track of the additional money I have made/saved and my tally is at £1445.69. So £2012 shouldnt be tooooo much of a stretch.

This year I set up a spreadsheet and had the following catagories for each month, but you track it however you like.......
  • Selling - Ebay, Amazon Market Place, Music Magpie, Local Paper, Boot Fair, Swapping, Green Metropolis
  • Surveys - You Gov, one poll, Pure Profile
  • Paid to Click - Archer Fish, Pigsback
  • Cashback - Top Cashback, R Points, Free Fivers, Quidco, FatCheese, My Shopping Rewards, Misc
  • Mystery Shopping - Grass Roots, Gap Buster, Retail Eyes
  • Freebies - Applied for, Blagged, Multibuys, Chance, Try me free
  • Coupons - Applied for, Blagged, chance
  • Loyalty - Club Card, Nectar, local garden centre, east coast, cafe nero, advantage cards
  • Complaints - Train delay, voucher, cheque, product
  • Trials - Tesco, Boots
  • Misc - unfranked stamps, overtime, bonus, competition wins, money found on floor, Interest
I will provide a monthly update
Is this anything obvious I have missed and who is with me?
I am pretty sure that I will not reach the £2013 target but am happy to run the thread for other MSE members

The only change I would like to make is for members to post if they are ..

a, ... Saving £2013 in 2013

b, ... Earning £2013 in 2013


Also, let me know if you are going to submit ..

a, ... monthly totals to be added to spreadsheet

b, ... keep your own totals (not added to spreadsheet)

    I'd like to join in on this for earning £2013.

    Hi, Just wanted to clarify that I will be aiming to earn £2013 over my typical earnings.
    Not sure how I will achieve this but I will trawl the discussion boards for ideas.
    If I want to earn extra at work I have to sign up for bank work, I intend to do the paperwork next week.
    So, I need to go through lots of stuff to see what I can auction off and sell.
