1. Recycle Your Old Mobile - 15 Jun 2006

   I’ve recycled about 7 or 8 old mobiles now (both DH and I used to get regular updates through work mobiles) I’m not really a mobile freak – I’ve had my current personal one about 18 months, and only got a new one then as I left the old one in Portugal by mistake! Last one was donated to my children’s school – they get the money from the recycling co then

2. Pass On Those Unwanted Gifts - 15 Jun 2006

3. Become A Blood Donor - 15 Jun 2006

   HAve been donating on and off for about 11 or 12 years. Have had some gaps due to pregnancies (currently unable to donate until Oct 2006) and anaemia – but give whenever they let me! Have also encouraged DH to sign up – he has just made his 10th donation. Without such a service, I wouldn’t be alive – I received donated blood when I haemorrhaged (sp?) as a newborn.

10. Buy Nothing on Buy Nothing Day (November 26th) - 26 Nov 2006

    Well I managed this – although more by accident I think. I didn’t think I’d do it, as it was a Saturday & there’s the supermarket etc…... BUT, due to work being undertaken on our house I only popped out briefly to take the children to (prepaid) swimming lesson & that was it! Went to the supermarket on Fri instead. Hubby spent £2 on some cement for a hole in the floor though…...
