$1000 down

well I'm excited to say that tonight i transfered $1000 to the Credit card. Yay!! so i now only have $4000 to find before Christmas. I am down for another shift this weekend, finger crossed i get one. and the following weekend i have a stall at a car boot sale. Kev also has someone coming to look at some car stuff which he has forsale, so hopefully combined we can come up with another $1000. will be very nice.
