£2012 in 2012

Sorry it's taken me until now to post. I've had a hectic month re-juggling our finances. I'm happy to report all's going very well .
I have finaly managed to move my first £20 over to my savings account - horrey! :j

I sat last night and wrote a detailed list of our month coming up(March), I'm hoping to be able to report another £300 added my the end of March, fingers crossed.

But for now I'm happy to update with my first £20, the best bit for me is the fact I've able to move this in 2 days before payday! Never ever have I had 2p to rub together around now, never mind £20 to put away. It's a big moment for me, and one that will keep me going through the next few months.


Edited to add I'm # 231. x

I got letter today informing make that a cheque for £1500 is heading my way from a PPI claim. On top of that I have found £20 in change in the street, under the sofa, at the bottom of my bag etc. I have 3 babysitting jobs this month and just won £200 on a £1 scratchcard - my first of the year!!

I'm now off to edit my target - wonder if I can make £3000 this year?!

...and doing brilliantly on Superpoints - about $5 every 5 days for next to no effort, got a 25 point bonus referral again if anyone needs it...

Hi,
how are you making so much from superpoints - have you referred a lot of people??

I've got about 16 referrals but only about 6 or 7 actively collecting, I do all the lucky super wheel clicks (100 at Platinum) and watch all the videos and sign up to free offers.

Good trick is to do all the download offers then restore your PC to a point before you started the downloads which clears them off your PC.

Made 100 points since this morning, I've noticed the more you use the more and bigger rewards you get from the Superwheel clicks.

Hope this helps.

Hello. Have just transferred over £7.76 from Crowdology. I thought I was clicking to add a paypal account but it sent it to my old one (which I no longer use, still in maiden name, easier just to use Hubby's etc.) so have transferred it to his, which is what I was trying to do in the first place!

Just £5 to add from Swagbucks.

We've got one of those but DH has, I feel, got a bit obsessed - he has been known to keep an eye on how much the electricity goes up when I have a shower.

Take me to that man lol! A new way to persuade teenage dd to vacate the bathroom. I can stand outside the door shouting out the kilowatts! :rotfl::T

Don't even joke about such things Bess1234 - he hasn't quite gone to that extent yet .... but I feel it won't be long coming once DD turns into a teenager :rotfl:!

I've just invoiced 2 of my bosses so been able to update my total and it's now just over £700 - really pleased :j! Thank you everyone for keeping me going as all of your ideas help me to keep thinking positive and keeping track of every little bit . It really helps.

I think it must be the week for finding vouchers, as I've just found a gift card behind a radiator. I'm hoping it's still in date (they have use by dates some of them don't they?) It's still stuck to it's original gift card, so has never been used; it was a gift to me one Christmas, so I reckon there must be at least £20 on there.

Hi all

Updated sig for end of Feb - as it's payday today :j

Going ok so far managed to save by
Using vouchers/coupons/points/discounts
Small lottery wins (all under £5)
Sold old phone
Doing without morning coffee at the train station - saves loads!
Walking home from station when weather is ok and I'm ok too
Save the change
Saved money with Sky - only put one months saving away though as that was the unexpected saving
Changed bank account from rewards one costing me about £17 a month :mad: to one that now pays me :T

And I think just generally watching the pennies.

Going to be a tight month this one
But I'm thinking of trying ebay - i've not got much to sell because I usually give my stuff to the charity shops - but I do have a few bits.
Also some old gold/silver to sell.

Little bit behind target - so must try harder!! :think:

:coffee:
