pwps make £2012 in 2012, repay debt and have a life diary.

Good morning, well as a new year is almost upon us, i have decided to start a new diary.

Feeling very excited about starting my new challenge, anyone that didn't read my last diary and would like to join in is very welcome to do so, basically a few of us have decided to try and make £2012 in 2012 from ebaying, amazon sales, surveys, i also include birthday money and tesco clubcard vouchers, basically its any extra money you make, not including wages, child benefit etc.

This morning i have withdrawn £25 from v!vat!c but won't recieve this until the end of jan, so this will be going towards the challenge:D.

On the money front, bank account looks ok, but probably won't after the weekend as i'm off out tonight with some girls from work and i'm at the hairdressers at 4pm, just a cut, was going to get a colour as well but decided against it.

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

  • Morning Penny, well done on having managed another term! Have a great night out :beer:

    Love the new diary and title, looking forward to the having a life part especially:D don't think i'll be having one of those till 2014!!

    School finishes on Thursday here, then not back until the 10th Jan :j:j, so SHOULD have lots of time to spruce the place up, maybe need a 'trip to the tip' number of days challenge! Okay no i won't.
    Any thoughts on selling books, nothing good just have loads of books getting very dusty and taking up space and if i don't get a kindle for Christmas i'll be buying one in the sales. Don't like the Amazon system for selling, short change myself every time and ebay has sooo much stuff on it. Need a music magpie type thing for books??

    Sorry for ranting xx

    Hi Pennywise

    Happy New Diary!

    I thought I was going mad for a second, I posted on your new diary this morning and it wasn't here but you've created 2 new diaries.

    Will subscribe and looking forward to the £2012 challenge xxx
  • Hi choo,

  • Well i had a fantastic night out on Saturday, but OMG did i pay for it yesterday, got in at 4am:o soooooooo hungover but i don't do it very often.

    Been to sainbugs this morning and have spent £124:eek:, did buy some last minute xmas gifts and some food and wine/beer to take to inlaws.

    Nothing happening on the making money front, just caught up with surveys, will get back into ebay in the new year.

    Hope everyones nearly sorted for christmas.

  • Hi mtg feeling tired today but at least the pounding head and throwing up have stopped, surveys are really slow at the minute, hopefully they will pick up in the new year.

    Hi m2mg glad you have found me and joined the challenge, so tired yesterday but it was my own doing and it was a brilliant night out.
  • JWIL - sorry i missed your post, thankyou and welcome to my diary.

    Having a day at home today, really need to get caught up with housework, so washing machine has just finished a blue load and is now whirling again with a red load.

    Do need to walk around the village later and post some christmas cards.

    Have managed to get to payout with pan£lbas£ so have £10.40 winging its way to the challenge fund. Trying to make sure i do every survey that comes my way, even the boring tolun* ones.

    Have done a meal plan for the rest of the week, we go to MIL on Saturday.
    So we are eating
    Tue- HM meatballs and pasta
    Wed- Jkts beans and cheese.
    Thurs Fish goujons, HM chips and peas
    Fri HM quiche, cous cous and rst veg.

    Need to do some xmas baking will probably do this on Thursday and need to fit in catching up with friends and swapping presents.

    Right off to check washing machine.

    Hi Pennywise

    Well done on staying out until 4am, I haven't managed that for years. Boo to the hangover though, that is something that I've managed more recently.

    Choo xx
