New Blogging Direction
Written by David Dunn on June 29, 2008 – 10:38 amHi everyone that may or may not be reading this blog post (just realised it’s a bit silly saying that as you’re obviously reading it right now and those that aren’t can’t read it… if that any sense!)
I’ve decided that Buy Me A Ferrari is still going to be a blog about making money but it isn’t just going to be about making money online. I’m going to keep track of all my money making (and money losing) in my life.
This therefore includes anything made online or offline and also anything I spend online and offline.
I’ve decided to do this as I have just got myself a weekend job at Mercedes-Benz of Newcastle on reception. I kind of stumbled upon this job accidentally as I was doing my second work experience there (in the sales department) and it was revealed that there was a vacancy on weekends - which is ideal when I am still at school.
The wage is £6.50 per hour and initially I will be working 2pm to 5pm on Saturday and 10am to 4pm on a Sunday. Once the girl that is currently doing 8:30am to 2pm leaves I will also be doing the hours that she is.
Hopefully I won’t end up spending it as quickly as I earn it but I will be detailing everything like that on this blog, both the highs and the lows.
The second income I have at the moment is EMA (Education Maintenance Allowance), which currently stands at £30 per week, only if I was in school for the full five days the previous week. So if I am ill one day the previous week I won’t receive it at all.
That also reminds me that I need to fill out and get sent off the new EMA form for next year at sixth form.
I’ll leave it at that for the moment, any comment about the new ideas would be appreciated, whether they be negative or positive.

What’s Happening?
Written by David Dunn on February 14, 2008 – 12:41 amYup - I know, I’ve been really lazy lately and haven’t been posting half as much as I should be. This is changing as of now as I am not going to stop posting like I did lately.
At the moment I’m looking for a job and selling stuff I don’t need from the house - this is in an effort to purchase car insurance and get myself a car as I have a license and no car to drive at the moment.
I have a load of random stuff on eBay at the moment from children’s books to DVDs, there will also shortly be a load of computer parts going on as I need to have a clearout and generate as much money as possible.
If you’d like to have a look at what I’m currently selling and possibly even have a bid or two you can do so on eBay here.
So the sole purpose of this blog at the moment is to document my path to afford a car and insuring the car. I will get back to the Ferrari one day.
Any web designers willing to do me a cheap page?
If so, I want a one page website set up. If you can help drop me an email: me [at] daviddunn.co.uk and we can discuss this a bit more.
Where is Buy Me A Ferrari going now?
I will be continuing along the same lines as I was before but I want to make money now rather than in the long run as I need a car and insurance now.
I’ll still be talking about different things to make money on the internet etc. but I’ll also be talking about the ways in which I am making money and how close (or far away) I am to being able to afford a car/insurance.
Anyone got any quick ways of making money that I could use? Also, I need a web designer for another project idea if anyone is interested? Drop me an email.
All donations to the same PayPal email address are great and you will get a mention. Bidding on my auctions is great too.
