    Hi
    Is it too late to join this challenge?

    I reckon you can join any time you like. It's not a formal challenge as such, up to you what you count as savings - you'll find all sorts of different approaches - and really just a nice motivation to push yourself a bit and end 2012 better off than you started it.

    £30 made at babysitting last night. Got a cracking headache today though as I didn't get home until nearly midnight!
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    March is looking up already! Four items I'm selling on ebay have got bids on (ending today so hoping to get them all paid for and sent off next week) and the Vivatic surveys are coming thick and fast. Also in the middle of a trial with Tesco and the products they've sent have saved me some money on essentials so have added that to the total. A family member also gave me £15 towards petrol when visiting them so it's all going in the pot! Have added my £25 from Vivatic that I expect from them at the end of the month too so the current total for the year so far is at £144.85! :) really pleased with that especially considering I only passed £100 in the last week or so!

    My OH finally transferred the money from Ebay so that is £117 for March already and £11.76 interest at the bank so total of £128.76 transferred into my 2012 account.

    Hi all

    I keep wondering where next money will come from and then suddenly something happens.

    Keep up the savings everyone.
    :T:T:T

    Me too
  • Well I have just sent off three of my ebay items - from the pile of DVDs that Zapper wouldn't even take and with fees, postage and packaging I've made £2.94 - better than a bite in the proverbial! Also still waiting for another to pay so got that to add too.

    Also just had a look in the kitchen cupboard and it's about to overflow! A lot of it is stuff my nan has given me that I don't really like but I'm moving in a couple of months so I'm not buying any more tinned food til that's all eaten - less to pack up and move and it'll save me money too.

    Feeling good today :) hope the rest of you are having as good a start to the month as I am.
