    Hi

    I would like to join please, could you possibly send me the spreadsheet please to keep me on track.
    I do a lot of things already to bring in dribs and drabs, eg selling on ebay, topcashback, surveys etc but I have never added it all up before. We are planning to have a very frugal year this year and simplifying life somewhat so this sounds right up my street.

    Good luck everyone.

    Argh!! My car has just basically died on me so I'm going to be well down before I've really started! On the positive side, I've just attempted to do a budget for the month and if I have a really frugal month, I might just be able to get an old banger without it totally wiping me out!

    Off to a good start with £372 less tax to pay at the end of this month than I was expecting (must have overpaid last year? - who cares!)
    Plus managed to persuade husband to cancel Sky Sports - £20 per month saved!
    I've counted a freecyle item that I just picked up too

    And I've even managed to work out how to change my signature!

    Hurrah

    My big question is - how many of you are putting the extra 'money' in a pot or separate bank account so that you actually will have £2012 in your grubby little hand at the end of the year...
