All this knitting, sewing, walking in the woods and working for a not-for-profit has finally put me on the path towards eco-awareness. Better late then never eh? Plus the other stuff in my life.

Paper clip sells for $173
It's true, and it happened here in NZ. An Auckland teenager put a red paperclip up for sale on Trade Me, and it attracted tons of interest - resulting in a winning bid of $173.
Chuffed means pleased. Apparently most of the people who visited the site to check out the paper clip did so to leave cheeky remarks. I'm not sure why the guy who bought it offered that much though.

There was a picture of it on the website. Or did you want to see it "in action"?
I don't quite get what "chuffed" means, but that aside I just don't get it. Why?!

It's been brought to my attention that you love paperclips. I have one red paperclip.
Oh, you'll probably want to see this:

Obviously a copy-cat posting, Kyle. And it hasn't fetched anything like the same level of offers as the first one.
