£2012 in 2012

the_cat

This time of year there are always so many good challenges! I have already joined a couple and this one fits quite nicely with them so would like to join too.

I plan to just count extra money made as already doing the Frugal Living Challenge so any savings I make are from living that way anyway. I have committed to saving £12K in 2012, so combining this with the Frugal Living one should help me reach my target

As a start I applied to start leaflet delivery today, so fingers crossed

Hello ,

I was looking for the 12,000 in 2012 but this seems much more up my street, i made about a grand last year on the 11,000 challenge so sign me up and let the money making madness begin ......on the 1st of January.

Hi, I would like to join as well please. I was actually thinking of starting a thread for a much lower amount than the £12K in 2012 one as well as it seemed so far out of reach, better to have a lower target that you might surpass than a very high one that you can't get close to.



I'm a sahm and would like to include :

• surveys
• topcashback
• occasional work for dh as and when needed
• ebay
• matched betting(after some serious research)
• odd cleaning jobs
• boot sale
• pigsback clicks
• vouchers from credit card/clubcard

Thats all I can think of so far, if I do manage to make any cash I will use most of it to overpay the mortgage.

I can't resist anymore, I want to join!

Another student here but I'm in my final year so only for another 6 months. I've been lurking on the site for a while but there's never really been anything I can join in with. Not sure I'll make the £2012 but I'll see how far I get. I'm hoping that joining the board will add a bit of motivation.

So far I'll be using:
surveys
dooyoo
cashback
ebay/amazon selling
vouchers.

Like I said probably not going to save the full amount with that but I'll see how it goes and hopefully get a few more ideas.

Good luck everyone.

Oooh another idea I had is to start getting my hair done at the local college to take it from an eye watering £90 for a full head of highlights to something much less.

So would you count the amount you saved? I recently bought a groupon voucher for a haircut that will save me at least £20 when I use it. Do we think this can be counted?

I've started a survey challenge topic if anyone is interested. I've made a list of all survey companies, how they pay etc and links to them

(posted them on my homepage, feel free to join and post asking for referrals etc)

Everyone welcome to join in

Ill have a blast at this Been a long time since I saved for anything. So its basically £5.60 a day if you look at it that way. Ill have a look on the forums to see how to achieve this per day. Be very handy. Also anything else thats spare will go straight into the pot. My target would be £2k but id happily settle for more

Count me in! I only work 12 hours a week so plenty of room for overtime and time left over for surveys etc. I'm hoping to have £2012 in my savings by the end of this challenge.
