A new way

Soooo... I want a digital camera. Normally I'd pop it on a card, but I'm trying something new. I plan to make enough money using other means than my day job.

I started by switching bank accounts. £100. Thanks Halifax. I then sold two tops on Facebook for £20. I used £10 of this to buy a solid pine table and benches. I've spent all day stripping it back and painting. I should be able to get £50 for it.

Fingers crossed I can keep working this money to get my camera by the end of November!

I wanted to track my progress, if it interests anyone else then that's great.
July 2015 - £7800 to pay off

    Good luck, you sound very motivated.
    I want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?
