welshone27

Hi, could I please join? I'm currently paying off my debts and have had a great start to 2012. Im also putting all change into a pot. I've opened a savings account and was hoping to save around £2000. Seeing this thread has really inspired me, so £2012 it is. So I'd love to join if you'll have me.:)

Well I've had:

£2.50 from Opinion Outpost
£72.80 cashback
£2.50 money found in my PayPal account that I'd forgotten about!

Total: £77.80

I have got £21 in my Vivatic account so that will boost my February total when that reaches £25 and gets paid out. Unfortunately didn't manage to sell anything on eBay or Amazon this month but not through lack of trying! Also haven't banked my coin jar as haven't been able to get to the bank this week. Will add that to February total as well I think. Will start car boots again once my dissertation is handed in in March as I'll have my weekends free again and hopefully the remaining 11 months will be better than this!

As you can see I've had quite a fun filled month! So pleased with my total. I don't forsee anything else coming in with in the next 2 days so have spent the evening uploading to eBay ready to kick into February!

It's my birthday in just over a week so I will forfeit any birthday money to help pay off my last remaining debt. I will finish this year debt free!

Hi all, its nearly the end of the month so this will most likely be my last amounts to add to Januarys total.
Today I sold stuff on ebay and made £42.28
Last week I was paid back £10 I had lent out
Today I sold a coat for £20.
I am really proud of what I have achieved so far this year, I just hope I can continue with it. I never thought I could actually save this much ( although at the moment there is no cash tucked away, just a little less debt and interest to pay off):o
Not much chance of anything else in the next few days so i,m off to update my sig.:)
Good luck everyone. Keep up the good work

Just had an amazing thought. If everyone that has signed up so far reached their £2012 in 2012 goal, then by the end of the year we would have collectively saved £464,772.
I find that pretty inspiring:beer:

£21.25 claimed from Rewarded Opinions this morning after they rather generously sent me a short survey worth 150 points.

Also have more ebay sales to add, but will have to take off postage first...

I love Tesco Price Match - I ordered a cheap Value notebook for 0.40 - they didn't have one so had to send me a nice posh one so I've saved got an extra £2.59 which I've added to my total :T. As they say, Every Little Helps!!!

Is there a spreadsheet to keep totals on? I don't write anything down - just put it straight onto my signature.

nomi01 - I love that total for all of us!!!

I got paid £1 today for an old broken phone so I'll add that to my total. I also had a few bits on ebay sell over the weekend, so once thats all paid & posted I'll update properly.
