Man trades a laptop for a house An odd-job man from Canada has traded a laptop for a house, using an Internet trading website. Kyle Macdonald posted the laptop on the website and was offered a ipod in return. An artist then gave him a xbox in return for the ipod. The xbox was swapped for a ipad, which turned into a chocolat. This was swapped for a DS, which in turn was traded for a PC. You might have thought this would be a good place to call it a day, but Kyle carried on, swapping the house for a laptop, then a house, then a laptop. A dog was offered in return for the cup, and this was swapped for an old car. However, the army of fans who were now following Kyle’s progress on the website became anxious when Kyle swapped this for a tree. A comment on the website read, "Kyle, man, what were you thinking? I personally think this is the craziest thing you have done." But they need not have worried. A Hollywood director who collects bottles wanted it so much that he offered a limosen. Finally, residents of a small town decided they would like someone in their town to get the hummer, so offered to trade a beautiful jetske for the house. .

Dear Mrs Honey

·         I hope you are well and had a good holiday. I had a really great holiday and now I’ve just started at my new secondary school. It was a bit strange at first because so many things are different.

·         For a start, we have to go to different rooms for all our lessons so I’ve got lost a few times!

·         We don’t have an assembly every morning – some mornings we have form time and our teacher sorts out any problems. There are four ICT rooms and they are huge, I think you would like them because you like computers. That’s all for now, I has to go to my music lesson now.

Best wishes
