The 'Save £12k in 2012' thread!

zafiro1984

Haven't managed to save anything yet. My aim was to sell on eBay, 40+ yrs of clutter. DS suggested I didn't use the main camera but a small digital one we had. Needless to say it hasn't been used for a couple of yrs and I've lost the instructions. Can I get it to work!!!! It switches off automatically a few seconds after I've turned it on. It is so frustrating. I think I shall have to revert to using the other one, but it's so complicated I wonder if I will ever master it. I've a fair bit of ground to catch up.

I know you've probably checked this but are the batteries ok? My camera does that when the batteries are dying. HTH - good luck with the ebaying

Hi kandfs mam, yes thanks, ........ the first thing I did was to change the batteries. I've had a friend look at it this am - but no luck. Just taken some photos with the other camera, tried to upload them on my comp but I need a driver so I'm waiting for my DH to come in as he's much better with machines than I am.

I must have a couple of dozen things photographed but seeing as I've never sold anything on eBay I don't want to do too much until I get the hang of it.

Thats the only part of ebay selling that I dont like, the photo uploading. Bear with it, its worth it when they start bidding!

I would like to join too please. I think 12k might be out of my reach but I plan to give it a good try.
Aiming for a house this year with my boyfriend and a trip home to new Zealand at the end of the year for christmas. :j

Thanks

Wouldn't mind joining in, if its not to late Think i'd have to go for 10k and not 12k though!

Just managed to put my first item on eBay. My DH has sorted out the programme which downloads the photos from the camera to the comp. So I'm up and running. Off to pack the first item so its all ready to post.

Just popped on to update my sig...transferred £14.96 over to the isa which is money swept over from my overbudgetting method. I took my doggy to the vets yesterday for her jabs and overbudgetted the bill so the rest is in the isa!

Grand total now is £90.18!

Well long story short, I havent been paid yet this month... a banking error means instead of being paid last week, I should hopefully be paid this week!

This month, despite not having my wages paid yet, I have managed to pay my rent, my mortgage, my phonebill and sent £200 into a savings account! Luckily my DD's for my reg savers are on the 19th and 21st,so I dont need to worry about them!

I had enough in my account at the end of last month to keep me ticking over and to be fair I can [STRIKE]probably[/STRIKE] manage until 19th of the month, when my next lot of DD's go out! So in a way I am quite happy to wait until then, cos it means I WILL have to careful with my money! Does that make sense to anyone else, or have I just lost myself in Lealea land? lol

BUT when pay day does come it means that I can cream off the amount that was supposed to be leftover in my account on payday and then I might even transfer some money that I would have spent otherwise, eg, coffee out n about, or the readymeal I would have bought... its not that I dont have the money, its more a case of not wanting to spend it! lol

Well it's really good to see all the rest of you getting on with this challenge! You are all doing so well and I am hoping to catch up with you by the end of this month!
