making do

Iain recently wrote a post about the Bonfire Of The Brands book, which I wrote a little bit for, ages ago, and am now slightly afraid of. But a more interesting thing popped up in the comments - a link to Robert Llewellyn's Making Do project on YouTube. Mr Llewellyn's a hero in our house, because of Scrapheap Challenge, and this project is great. He's trying to go for a year without buying anything - making do - it's even more of a challenge because he's clearly a bit of a technophile. Fascinating, funny, honest stuff.
