Trade 7: CANCELLED :( Back to Trade 6 (Mini Motorbike)

Hi guys,

Unfortunately the Paperclip Challenge has taken a small step back. The swap with the Red Peugeot 405 1.8i has been withdrawn because of concerns with the high mileage on the vechicle. I'd like to thank Drew McCrone for being an honest swapper with all the questions I asked. It's a shame I had to pull out, he did nothing wrong on his part, I was also following advice from friends that the high mileage on the car could cause problems for the next trade. I will keep you guys updated for any changes on new trades.

I was on the ANDREW PEACH SHOW and in the Reading Evening Post on Monday!!!!

Hey guys!!!

It's been a hectic past week and a great start to the week. I was LIVE in my workplace in front of my boss and the boss above my boss with all my colleagues on BBC Radio Berkshire on the Andrew Peach Breakfast show!!! THANKS ANDREW FOR INVITING ME ON THE SHOW!!! It was really random I got a missed call from them and called back and then this lady said I was going to be LIVE on air in 2 mins?!?!?!?! I was a bit bewilder when Andrew was speaking to me I just couldn't believe this was happening. I will contact the show again to try and get a recording of the clip from them.

Additionally I was in the Reading Evening Post later on that day!!! BOO YAH!!! I'll hopefully try and arrange to collect my swap sometime next week if all goes well. I'll keep you guys updated!!!

I was on BBC Radio Berkshire with Maggie Philbin!!!!

Guys I was late to work this morning and being not the ideal employee today. I strolled in around 11am in the morning to work. COS I WAS ON THE RADIO!!!!

I had to get up 6am for this LIVE Radio feed which start at 7am, but they BBC crew must have gotten up way before that. It was quite surreal, got up at 6am and started tidying up the house and making sure everything was in place and then 7am. No one!!! I thought................ did they get lost? Have they found the wrong house? Are they not coming? So I popped out the house and walked out and I saw a MASSIVE tall antenna sticking out the roof of a van. This antenna was HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE!!!

So then I saw Maggie Philbin (well known for presenting of Swap Shop and Tomorrow's World), walking down the road in her radio gear. Very friendly lady!!! I must admit I was abit over energetic chatting to her, I blame it on drinking too much tea :S When we had the interview there were about 4x 5 mins interval from 7am to 9am chatting about the motorbike.

In between the interview she was a great person to chat with, as well as her assistant let's not forget! You can hear the whole conversation once I manage to get a file off the producer so keep checking back to listen in!!! Thanks Doms for giving me half the day off to do that as well!!!

Oh yeah, I asked for her autograph!!! Hells yeah!!!

It's quite late now and have to get ready for work but I will edit and add more to this post tomorrow!!!
