Ј2015 in 2015

A question about : Ј2015 in 2015

Hey everyone! We saw mennie's post back in 2012 about this and decided to recreate it cus we liked it so much!

So, the challenge here is to make Ј2015 in 2015. Whether that's from savings or by boosting your income somehow, it all counts!

mennie suggested setting up a spreadsheet to keep track of your earnings using the following categories...
Selling - Ebay, Amazon Market Place, Music Magpie, Local Paper, Boot Fair, Swapping, Green Metropolis
Surveys - You Gov, one poll, Pure Profile
Paid to Click - Archer Fish, Pigsback
Cashback - Top Cashback, R Points, Free Fivers, Quidco, FatCheese, My Shopping Rewards, Misc
Mystery Shopping - Grass Roots, Gap Buster, Retail Eyes
Freebies - Applied for, Blagged, Multibuys, Chance, Try me free
Coupons - Applied for, Blagged, chance
Loyalty - Club Card, Nectar, local garden centre, east coast, cafe nero, advantage cards
Complaints - Train delay, voucher, cheque, product
Trials - Tesco, Boots
Misc - unfranked stamps, overtime, bonus, competition wins, money found on floor, Interest

I'll keep track of those signing up to the challenge below and I might even try it myself! So, who's with me?!

The original thread is here if you'd like to get some inspiration! We've also got last year's thread here

Good luck everyone! We're on Twitter as well if you need extra support!

Best answers:

• Great idea! I'm in (as always). Will be nice for people to interact here more with this challenge, rather than on a facebook page that some people aren't permitted to be members of
  I did it last year by the 1st of March, but that was thanks to some unexpected funds, so in 2015 I will just see how I go. Good luck to all!
  I look forward to seeing what people have to say about the ways they will earn money. My way is going to be surveys, paid to websites and numerous other websites that I use, and have mostly found here on MSE
• I'm in! I will mostly be using survey sites and selling (if I can ever actually motivate myself to get things listed) to earn some extra pennies, and cashback when I can too.
• I'm in too!!! Need to get my act together and get some savings behind me can i ask a silly question? does anyone know how to create a spread sheet to keep track of this? I'm not the best on computers :P
• I'm in too I will be swagbucksing, surveying and will try to sell some of my unwanted items on Vinted and Ebay.
• Please add me!!!! im ready for a challenge
• Woo! I'll add you guys to the list
  Harleyquinn, here's a link to a simple tutorial on how to use Excel, but you can also do it in Google Spreadsheet quite easily.
• Please do count me in! I have a horrible long standing overdraft debt! It is a small one - only Ј 800 but I have no income as I am a stay at home mum and this is my little secret from my hubby. So I am determined to wipe this off next year. I would be so relieved!!!
  I am gaining momentum in surveys and crowdsourcing jobs. That would be my main way to earn my money!
• This thread didn't really work last year, I thought it was agreed to end it?
• If it can help one person to save, Cotta, then it works!
• Count me in please
• Me too! ..Please count me in! I'm keeping a log of everything I've made / saved and got for free this year and I'm going to tot it up on new years eve.. it's all thanks to the people on this awesome site.. I'm so glad to have discovered it here
