The 'Save £12k in 2012' thread!

Had a VERY bad week.

*Confession time*

£92 on a handbag
£45 on a wake up light
£50 on chinese cooking accessories and curry pastes
£150 on a certain online shopping site (hopefully will get some of this back!)
£10 on makeup
£25 on a birthday gift

So that will leave me on £500 saving this month and less next month because of this splurge.

*sigh*

Thanks Alionaear & Ilovesaving! I didn't know that so anything that doesn't sell I'll have a play with to see about the relisting fees :-) got 2 bids already so pretty excited! Only £2.50 so far after postage but every penny in savings helps!

Trixie4, I have a wake up light and it's brilliant esp in winter. Makes it much easier to get up in the mornings

Evening all,
Not added anything to my savings yet, but..

I have just been accepted for natwests 0% card for 13months,1% fee.
Should get that paid off very soon:).

Quite happy now, and even more so it's payday Wednesday!

£100 added to savings today as DD from wages came out and fed the pots with my £1/day and shrapnel. This will be my one and only big chunk of money to add in Feb as it is gonna be a tight one.

I can't wait until payday on Wednesday either! I've got paperwork on its way to Santander for my esaver, if it's opened by Wednesday hopefully I can transfer my savings for January in there straight away!

Don't forget - Cash ISA's and regular saver accounts could earn you even more interest!

Dear alionaear

This is what I was doing on ebay every fortnight on the run up to Christmas, from October. It may depend on what category you are listing in, certain categories have charges, it can be confusing.

You can only relist unsold items for free once, unless it is a free listing weekend.

You are right about the 99p listing. This is for your first 100 items listed every month for 99p or less. These are free to list too.

What categories did you list in if it's not a secret, mine were all clothing inc childrens clothing and I couldn't relist for free
