The Blue Lamp Foundation

I earnt a pound today for an old (working) monitor that I sold on eBay. It was worth much more than that, and I really didn't care if I got the pound or not.

In fact I didn't want the buyer to collect it as I knew I could relist it and it would go for more.

But she turned up today with her shiny pound in hand and I gave her the monitor.

Then I remembered the chap featured on BBC breakfast some months ago who started with a pound and traded up to other items such as a mountain bike and eventually a piece of land in Bulgaria.

I'd recently started following @robinppalmer on twitter, who is the PR officer for The Blue Lamp Foundation this was started by PC David Rathband the police officer injured by Raoul Moat.

So I started to put all three of these things together.

Could I trade up the pound that I earnt today to something bigger and give the money to The Blue Lamp Foundation?

Could I?

I would certainly try.... I'm starting today.
