Our task was to furnish a new bedroom. Everyone was given a budget and a list of essentials that they had to purchase. These included a bed with mattress, a wardrobe, a chest of draws, a duvet, a pillow, a duvet cover, a lamp, some curtains and a curtain rail, a rug and a mirror.
We had to then add up the items and subtract the totals from our budget. We had to be careful not to go over budget or we would be charged by the bank of Mrs Houlston!
We searched online for the best value products and then drew and labelled a plan of our new bedroom.
The prizes for sourcing the cheapest products went to Jamie, Erin, Sam and Kie. They managed to get all of the essentials and had the greatest budget remaining. Unfortunately, two people went over budget. Alex blew £649 on a 3D TV! Emily got carried away with shopping and had to ask for a £200 overdraft.
Hey guys, this looks like great fun! Emily what are you like spending all of that money!!!
