Would you like to take part in the paper clip challenge?

Tanya from Burwood

Hi all (this is my mum's account - I don't have my own), I've been set the paper clip challenge in my high school commerce class, where you start with a paper clip and trade it up for another item, which you then trade up for another item, etc (if you’ve not heard of this … View moreHi all (this is my mum's account - I don't have my own), I've been set the paper clip challenge in my high school commerce class, where you start with a paper clip and trade it up for another item, which you then trade up for another item, etc (if you’ve not heard of this challenge, see link below to learn more).

I've done pretty well so far; I've traded up to a Vodafone Smart V8 (VFD710) in amazing condition. It’s barely used, factory reset, and has no marks or scratches (see photos attached and link for specs). It looks like it retails for around $120 e.g. from Ebay (see link below).

Do any of you or someone you know need a phone, and have something of a bit higher value but that you have no use for, and would be happy to trade for the phone? If you do, please reply to this post, or message me directly.

Or it might not be a phone that you want. If there’s something else you’re after, and you’ve got something suitable to trade it for, let me know, in case it comes up in one of my later trades.

I can put updates on here to let you know how the challenge goes 😊

Thanks so much for your time!!

Peter is helping us out with something that nearly everyone can relate to – dealing with the unsorted photos taking up space on your phone or languishing in boxes in your home.

“Without fail, when I give a talk about getting organised, I’m always asked how to deal with photos,” says Peter.

Boxes of unsorted photos can feel overwhelming to organise so they often get left for many years to clutter up our houses. In addition to this, most of us have smartphones that make it easy to take photos anywhere, so pretty soon our digital photo life becomes cluttered too.
