Thrift Store Hunting

Went to the red cross' thrift store on Friday to look around and ended up buying $70 worth of 1/10 Electric Powered Remote Control cars that I'm gonna fix up and try to hawk them off.

Got a great great deal but they need a lot of fixing up and some spare parts to get them into shape for sale but I got them for cheap so it shouldn't be a problem putting in a little wee bit more to double or triple the investment. I just need the time...

Finally doing something with the fund rather than just stagnating, hopefully everything will work out fine.

On another note, I really love finding trolleys :) she found another one yesterday after having dessert while heading back to the car park.

I've stopped wondering why people are so lazy to leave them there and started to be grateful instead. Wee~

Addicted to KickStarter

I know it sounds crazy.. but I'm addicted to this damn model of public funded projects... So far I've pledged to support 5 projects, there are seriously good stuff being brought to the public and the fans of certain game designers/visionaries.
 And the best thing is that if the project doesn't get enough funding by the end of the time frame then you don't even lose any money! But if the project is a go then its a go! A great all or nothing format to really gives the people power over what gets done or what shouldn't. So give it a look-over and who knows you might just find a project that you like and give them your support.

An Ode to the Abandoned Trolleys

It seems that now a major part of our fund is found through trolleys be it the nice shiny dollar coins or the 20 cent deceptions they really do form a big part, so this post is an appreciation of abandoned trolleys all over the island.

We spotted one abandoned at Center Point shopping mall not 100m away from the trolley collection bay so that was a real bonus.

Unexpected places

Went looking around the Salvation Army Thrift Stores for no apparent reason then window shop and she managed to spot a coin each under the 2 vending machines that were there, the first one was a 10 cent coin and the second a 5 cent coin. She really has gotten the lark's eye at spotting coins.
