Step 1- £0.01-£10.00

21-10-09-
Started the day with £0.01 and we brought a Wham bar worth £0.10 off a friend (thats some good business).After this we then traded the Wham bar for £0.12. We then saw a perfectly good rucksack being thrown out so offered then owner £0.10 for the bag which they accepted. I reckon that we'll be able to sell the rucksack for at least £2.00 which will plump up our stake very nicely.
All in all a very productive firstday
Math-
£0.01 - £0.01 + 1x Wham bar - 1x Wham bar + £0.12 - £0.10 + 1x Rucksack = £0.02 + 1x

A friend said that he had some money that he could contribute to the stake but as the rules state nothing can be given to the stake for free so I offered him £0.02 for the £0.17 in change.
£0.02 - £0.02 + £0.17 = £0.17
