£2012 in 2012

nomi01

Very excited. I just added up the total I saved on footie kit stuff by shopping in the sale items, £38.50 (saved more than I spent). Also my mum ordered some weleda shower stuff for the kids that I had been wanting. That has saved me £6.95.
Total save of £45.45:j I am loving this tread. I am even trying to get overtime just so I can add it to my total.
I am already planning next weeks saves and hopefully I will get some things on Ebay too. I reckon that pretty soon, I will run out of unwanted items to sell. I have already told O/H that I will be going through DVD and CD collection. There are some very contrasting music styles in the collection, some too dreadful to mention. I can't part with a nearly new DVD for 30p though, so I am not sending them off to Zapper, gonna try my luck on Ebay or at carboot sale (when weather improves).
As for claiming back overpayments, I am going to contact my other energy supplier tomorrow to see if there is any more money I am owed.
Will update the running total


Cant figure out how to change signature but it should now read; £341.05/£2012. Woohoo

Really can't wait for my eBay items to end They are now upto £52.33. I have 19 items listed, only 4 will sell currently, but around 10 others all have watchers. One item has 8 watchers, but no bids yet. It really does wind me up when people wait until the last day

Here is hoping for that to double upto £100 tomorrow evening *fingers crossed*

Hi all, just another quick update... Im afraid to say its also becoming an obsession for myself now too! Lol. Adding some more overtime and another 2 mystery shops I've been paid for. Just a quick question as well.. If you win on the lotto or say online bingo I'm presuming I take off the stake? For example £1 lotto and £10 win would give me £9 to add to my savings?

I know its abit late but can i please join?
Ive been reading this topic everyday since it started and i have been saving money to try and achieve the target but havnt been brave enough to post anything - so today i though what the heck just join in!

Im hoping to go back to uni in september so any extra money would come in handy, ive registered on a number of survey sites, although not many surveys since xmas, ive also joined archerfish but dont seen to get many pay for clicks, is there any other sites that anyone would recommend?

hi all, just updated sig upto £54 now So far so good

I saved £3.76 in coupons yesterday and I got £1.08 in nectar points.

We are going to our allotment today but when we get back I am going to have a look at Zapper and Music Magpie and see if I can get rid of some our books and CD's. We have absolutely loads that are just gathering dust it would be nice to have the space back.

I haven't had one phone call about my bookcase yet though ... but I live in hope

CrazyRatLady - I'm pleased your little ratty is doing much better we've had rats in the past and it is heartbreaking when they are not very well.

Hi again. I,m sure your all wise to this one, but I will tell you anyway just in case. I usually shop at tescos and collect club card points. Had used them for a few tickets for days out and also doubled up on the clothing vouchers to get some new things for kids throughout the year. When xmas arrived and it was double-up points again, I had a total of £170 to spend. This coincided with some already half price deals on toys. It was great as money has been really tight. The only thing I found frustrating was that I couldnt use the vouchers to buy console games. So this year, I have started collecting a bit on an ASDA card as they have a good in-store range of games. I have decided not to spend any of my points til xmas2012 now to see how much I can save.
I have also decided to send kids to school with a packed lunch tomorrow (they usually have school dinners on a monday) so that has saved me another £6.30.
I am amazed at what can be achieved by saving in this way. Thanks again guys

My first lot of eBay items finish in an hour, the first one has 93 watchers!! Currently at £24 so may go a bit higher. Also another Amazon book sold so will post that tomorrow. Not adding any if it to total until in the bank. Good luck to all those with eBay stuff ending today.
