Money for old rope

A guy called Paul Youngson has come up with a great idea for raising money for charity. He started with a piece of old rope, which he then traded for some lots of pairs of children's scissors (strange item!), and then he traded the scissors for an official's shirt from the Sydney Olympics. Paul hopes to go on trading items for 18 months, until he auctions his final item to raise money for GUCH - Grown Up Congenital Hearts. GUCH provides support to adults who have congenital heart defects. You can see the link to his blog in my all new Blogroll on the right, or click here.
