Ok, they don't have a lot in common.....except maybe an indication of where my head is at the moment.
My blogging mojo has just disappeared since our time in hospital with HRH. I have decided not to struggle with it, for a bit, and will be handing over Blog Gems to Varda aka The Squashed Bologna while I take a much needed break........for the month of August definitely............while I get my ducks in a row.
Not being one who finds it easy to languish around, I have undertaken a new, and very exciting venture. HRH attends a preschool for autistic children. His school are taking part in an iniative from Irish Autism Action whereby if they recycle old mobile phones they can get technology for the school. They are aiming to get 165 old phones to get an iPad to use as a teaching tool with the children. As there are only 12 students in the school they are finding it a bit daunting. Therefore I have made it my mission to ensure they get 165 phones.
It is fabulous to focus on something so uncomplicated and positive and I am really enjoying how invested I am in this project (so is the school!!)
So, if you happen to have any old phones around the house and fancy helping me 'sort my ducks' feel free to email me (pretty please?). If it resembles a phone it is fit for the purpose intended!!
Meanwhile I will be doing a guest post, also over at Vardas', for Special Needs Siblings Saturday - tomorrow. She had to drag it out of me (see previous mojo reference) but I got there in the end. Go pay a visit for Vardas' sake, she worked hard!

I'd love to dig out some old phones for you.
I'm also away for start of August - well a week, so will look after.
Go put them ducks tidy, but no shooting them 'kay!

I probably have a few phones to donate as well. Where would I send them? Is it worth it to send from the US? Also, have you checked out the iPad giveaways at www.lovethatmax.com? You should enter it!
I have 3 phones I will donate. I too am in the US. Please email me @ carrera@comporium.net
I've got a pink phone!! I'm also in the U.S. Email me at nuttydingo@gmail.com.
Good to hear you're still out there, we miss you!
Have sent emails ladies, @Flannery, is it ok that I laughed out loud at yours?? Thanks for the help :) Jen
THANK YOU! Love your ducks! I am happy and proud to babysit Blog Gems for you for a while, and am working on getting your SNSS post ready to go up tomorrow as we speak.
Thanks, you. You get some rest and have fun with your family, and I bet you get your bloggy mojo back in September.
Jen, I definitely have an old phone you can have. Drop me an email at my twitter username then @gmail.com with details and I'll sort x
p.s. Hope your mojo comes back soon as you're missed
Darn, I just sent three of to charity as part of my decluttering :( Fingers crossed you can find enough! x
Am doing a big clear out at the moment, so I must check to see if I have some old phones too and hand them over to you. Hope you'll be back blogging again soon xx
Hope your mojo comes back soon!
Looking forward to checking out Varda's posts!
We're taking off August as well mind you, Clive is just going to delve back into the archives for that month and give the rest of us a break!!
Look after yourself and paws crossed you get all those phones!
We're up we're live! Come on over and read Jen's marvelous Special Needs Sibling Saturdays post!
Hello, very glad to meet you and your blog, about to follow you. I love the idea of the 3 year old with ASD as HRH, how very true that rings!!
I'm sure we have one or two...planning a clear out this hol so will email when I find them!
I think of you often. Hope the break does you good
Sorry no phones here Jen but I just know you will meet your target no problem, you are a determined woman.
Much love, Mich x
Lost my blogging mojo too. Don't seem to be able to find the time, though I'm halfway through knitting a pair of socks so there's definitely some spare time knocking around somewhere! I'm sure we have a couple of old phones lurking about the place though goodness knows where they are! If I manage to locate them I'll be in touch,x
Hello Jen!
I hope that you get all of your ducks in a row!! Very cute :)
Although I have a couple of old cell phones, not certain about sending them over from US? Would that still be helpful?
Also, wanted to let you know that I love your blog and was going to add you to my favorite blog list on my blog - hope that is okay!

It would be helpful Michelle, but I think the postage cost would be more economical if you were posting 3 or 4. Maybe I will email you and we can chat about it? Jen
