Hi, my name is Michael Cheung, and the purpose of this "Paperclip Challenge" is to start with a paperclip and trade for something better. Then after that I trade and trade and trade until I get myself to the goal of getting a FLAT!!! Nope not a house, A FLAT!!!. It's a daunting task but then again its not called "The Paperclip Challenge" for nothing! If you are interested then please send an e-mail to MHYCheung@hotmail.CO.UK.

TRADE 4: Snooker Cue!!!
















(Click on image to enlarge)

Behold a teddy bear for a snooker cue!!! This must be a one of the best swap uptrades yet. Condition is quite good but does show abit of wear and tear, but nothing that will stop this from being used. Thanks Gary from Bristol for the swap, now my paperclip challenge is rolling!!!

OH YEAH!!! I'm in the PAPERS!!!



Excuse my excitement, apart pure luck in the past by being there at the right time, I’ve never been in the papers for doing something. This is awesome!

Still haven't got a confirmation on the Barbeque or Tiny Fridge. SO ANYTHING IS UP TRADE!!! Go on! Surely you have something unwanted to trade in the PAPERCLIP CHALLENGE!

THANKS AGAIN STAMFORD MERCURY!!!

I'M GOING TO BE IN THE LOCAL PAPERS!!!

Was about to head out of the door this morning for a job interview when the phone rang. I was thinking about leaving it but decided to take it. AND I'M REALLY GLAD I DID!!! It's was a reporter called ED from the Stamford Mercury calling for information on my paperclip challenge website and thinking about putting me in this weeks issue!!! SO EXICITED ABOUT IT.

So excited in fact my mind went blank when he asked me a few basic questions. I even had to think when he asked me my age :S What's worse I had to stop the conversation otherwise I'd be late for the interview. I feel like I was rude and brushed him off.

Well he did say he'll call later. AND HE DID!!!! HURRAY!!! PHOTOGRAPHER COMING IN TOMORROW!!! WOOHOO!!! ONE BIG STEP FOR THE CHALLENGE!!! Cheers Stamford Mercury and ED!!!

As for the next trade, it might be happening in the next week or two. Got an offer for a Barbeque cooker from a woman in Glasgow or a Tiny Beer Fridge from a guy in South London, just gotta hear a reply from one of them now....................

BUT!!!! It's not too late to add another trade offer!!!!
