We are always looking for new writers, if you would like to be in the next issue of DIY On A Budget and think you have a project our members would like to read about, please email me at [email protected]
So here it goes, I have been forced into writing a bit about myself, for the first publication of DIY On a Budget. I have to be honest; I find writing about anything quite hard let alone writing about myself. I lack confidence and doubt my capability every day. I can’t spell, read or write very well at all so this is very hard for me to do. So please bear with me.
I always found that I could pick items up quite cheaply, like wallpaper, floor tiles and the likes. But labour is often out of my reach. I had no choice but to start doing the work myself, working with what I could afford I was surprised with the success I had. It was then that I thought to myself, “I can’t be the only person doing this” So I set up the group you have all come to know and love.
DIY On a Budget was born with a few clicks of a mouse. I shared the group on a few other groups and headed to bed. Waking up the next day I had around 600 requests. Still I had no idea how much the group would grow. At the time of me writing this we have over 96k members, adding at least 500 new members each day.
But what makes DIY On a Budget different? The success of the group certainly isn’t my doing; the success of the group is purely down to its members and the admin that volunteer their time. Without the members giving their advice, uploading their homes, products used and tips and tricks it wouldn’t be a platform people wish to visit several times a day. So thank you to each and every one of you. This magazine will feature your work; it will be a magazine for real people doing real DIY. That is what DIY on a budget is all about. Thank you, for your support over the last two years. Without you all DIY On a budget wouldn’t exist.
