The 'Save 12k in 2013' Thread!

quintwins

I added £159 to the savings this morning, but i was slightly short of the £7,000 i wanted last year so to make counting easier i'm not going to include anything under the £7k.

So my savings so far are £2.36 :rotfl:

Hey,
Can I still join? I'd like to save 7k this year again with cutting down on spending a lot more this time

Woohoo! After about 4-5 years of collecting the money, I have just reached £40 threshold for payment on my onepoll account!

Money should be in my account within 28 days so I will put it straight into savings!

It's taken me a year and 3 mths to get to £32!

Well done

You've done really well then! I used to do it during lunch break at work but then stopped for a year or so when I had my daughter then got back into it last summer!

I was lucky enough to do 2 taste test baby foods and got £5 for each which gave me a good boost!

Well done everyone who has made a start saving!

Still waiting for pay day but have received £72.12 cashback on my cc so putting that amount into my ISA to get me going. Much as the cashback is a nice bonus think i need to try and stop using the cc as seem to be spending more and more on it now - not just the essential food and petrol spends. Might try to use a weekly cash budget instead to see if i can be more strict with my spending that way?

£72.17/10,000

Onepoll is awful! I keep saying I'm going to quit doing it after each time I finally reach £40 but seem to think 'oh it might be better this time' and start it again...

Just logged in......no surveys for me to even TRY to qualify for. Maybe I really should quit this time when (if) I get to £40!! I'm sure there's more I could be doing with the time I waste on there seeing if I qualify for any surveys! lol!

7p per day... I'd quit now if I were you before you waste more time.

I'm currently at £30 with OnePoll so I'm sticking it out to get my money. After I hit the target I will quit though.

Managed to save £190 from my current account. Was going to see how much was left at the end of the month and then transfer but this way I should hopefully not be tempted to spend.

College bursary goes in on the 18th, that will pay for my car insurance (Admiral quoted almost £1000 for 2 cars at renewal, I can get two seperate policies for around £700 so will pay OH's upfront and mine monthly (very little interest on mine))

Received £9 in luncheon vouchers from a survey company so they are in the voucher tin, will use them in Tesco's or such and then put the money over that I've saved.
