Goodwill for all
It is official! Damien is an elf.
How do I know? Well he told the world so on his blog.
It is not the only thing he told us…..
He has four prizes to give away
It’s all in aid of the Jack and Jill Foundation, who can help you recycle your old mobile phones in aid of charity. Jack and Jill didn’t provide the prizes but a supporter of theirs did.
So when Jack and Jill are not climbing the hill what do they do at the Foundation?
The Foundation provides early intervention home respite to families with children up to the age of 4, with severe neuro developmental delay and palliative conditions requiring extensive medical and nursing care at home.
Now everyone that donates one or more mobile phones to the charity, will be entered into a draw for three prizes (First, second and third out of hat) - a Nokia 5220, a Voyager 815 bluetooth headset and an Elextex rubberised portable keyboard for phones.
The blogger who gets these people to donate phones will also be entered into a draw for a Nokia 810 Internet Tablet.
Donating a phone is dead simple as you drop the phone and charger (if you have it) in a jiffy bag and send it to their freepost address: The Jack and Jill Mobile Appeal, Freepost, Ratoath Road , Finglas, Dublin 11
I think you are supposed to say I sent you!
UPDATE: The Christmas Spirit got the better of me last night… Finglas is in DUIBLIN 11 and not district 1 as I said. Amended above and below. - Thanks to Steph for showing me the error of my ways.

Now, I’m off to hunt for old mobile phones

Right…I’ll email the link and address to people on my list…. however I think there are several charities that do this over here already.
I don’t have one of those mobile phone things myself…I tried it once.
Bought one that could be used in the USA…found It wouldn’t and any way no-one could unlock it for me! Bought another one (unlocked + 25GBP of credit on it) that was “guaranteed” to work over the pond! No such luck ..they had misread the website….sent first phone to my sister(useful birthday pressy) and then used the 25GBP credit and sold the 2nd phone back to the shop that sold it to me for 20GBP …original price 35GBP…during its period of use I found the phone made me available all but everywhere so I don’t miss it! And I made a small profit…Oh by the way the shop I bought number 2 from didn’t realise that there was £25 credit on the card!!!!! It was second hand!

Thanks Magpie,
Your reminder may jog people into recycling old mobile phones now relegated to the desk drawer.
