£2012 in 2012

Wow everyone is doing so well already. All I have done is sell one of my old mobiles to one of those recycle places but I don't have the money yet so can't count it.

Just wanted to ask though, which is better for selling books? eBay or amazon? I have looked at zapper and other sites but only getting around 30p per book and some of them are brand new and unread.

I plan on counting money I save by using vouchers (clubcard) and offers when shopping and also extra money I earn from selling and surveys etc

Keep up the good work everyone:j

I did sell a Boden coat before and that had 113 watchers, so I may still have the world record but not on this listing!!!:rotfl:

I usually have about 4 watchers max. on my items... maybe I just don't have good taste when it comes to clothing

I've just been given £20 that someone has owed me for a couple of months. I haven't missed it in that time so that's been saved!
Been saving my student discount too, so now I'm up to £71.06! Still waiting to add my Zapper and Amazon money once that comes through too.

I earned £420 in commission in one night at work on Friday, but I'm going to spend £310 of that on a short course to get some more qualifications. I'll save the remainder though once I get paid

Hi all,

This is my first update since joining this challenge. I've just been paid my quidco cash back of £60.66 so thats a great start. We also got a £50 gift card for buying a TV & that arrived in the week so we used it against the cost of a new sofa for the kids playroom. I really can't afford to put that in a seperate account, but I will keep the £60.66.

I've investigated selling our old mobiles & for 4 old ones the grand total would be £7.38:rotfl: We only ever got the free ones with the contract, so I'm not surprised. One site is offering £3.50 cash back for a new customer & £1.50 per transaction therafter, so I might do them one by one.

I've totted up my vouchers too & I have £56.00 in Tesco vouchers, £4.48 of Nectar points, £10.00 to cash in for a voucher with Ipsos, and £13.00 in Expired Tesco Vouchers :mad: Has anyone ever had any luck in getting them reissued ?

So, I make that £181.14 so far. I'll add in the mobiles when I get round to sending them off!

Click here http://www.tesco.com/clubcard/clubcard/ and log into your clubcard account (or create one if you don't already have one). You should then be able to see any vouchers you haven't yet used and print new ones off. Some of mine were from a couple of years ago so yours should still be ok

Thanks both of you for this. I just logged in to my ClubCard account for the first time and found out I had £21 in unspent vouchers! Will be printing these off tomorrow.

Oh no, I think I have gone too far. The kids haven't tidied their bedrooms:( so I am withholding pocket money ( secretly hoping I will end up tidying it myself so I can add the saving to my total :rotfl:). I have already asked them to sort through their old toys ready for the NCT sale, I have told them that they get to keep whatever is made. Hoping that this will help them realise that we dont have a money tree in the garden, Although i,m pretty sure they think that is where the cleaning fairy and dinner elves live;)
