Hello everyone,

I've been reading the forums for a while, but not posting. I wanted to say thanks Marru - the list of challenges is really helpful.

There are so many good posts and brilliant competitions but not always easy to find or keep track of.

I've just started my own "earn more" challenge by way of a cottage industry that has happened by accident!

I wanted to go camping in my volkswagen T4 van but needed a bed for my 3yr old daughter. So I designed and made a "cab bunk" to fit over the front seats.

On a camping weekend someone with a similar VW van saw it and asked about it and I ended up making one for them too. Word of mouth seemed to spread over the last 6 months and yesterday I started my own website to sell them! (doubt I'm allowed to mention the site name so I'd better not!). I'm advertising on google adwords now so am hopeful I might have just started a home business, not enough to live off yet but a little extra income certainly helps

What a nifty idea. Perhaps you can start the 'aspiring inventors' thread?!

Thanks very much! As it happens I've also just made the first sale through my new website too, which has covered the cost of the website

Thank you Marru :T, I joind a lot of threads that started over the Dec/Jan period but now they're all together it's much clearer to see what I really want to do. (Sorry to those whose threads I have to come off )
