Have you been following my little project with O2 Recycle? I recycled my shattered iPhone and O2 was kind enough to track her journey from my house to new owner. The poor little darling was so nervous when she left here. I didn’t have the heart to tell her I got £157 for recycling …

Hello, I'm Susanna, the founder of BritMums, the UK's largest parent blogging network with more than 3,000 members with an aggregated reach of 12 million. I was also a founder of CyberMummy.
We're holding our big annual blogger conference BritMums Live! in June, and Carly over at Stepford Wifey is hosting a Meet & Greet on her blog.
I know it's nearly five months away, and my hair (and body shape) may change by then, but here goes:
Did I tell you I was going back to school? It’s true. Last Thursday and Friday I hit the books at Four Seasons University, learning what it takes to run a luxury hotel. I got to turn down beds, create chocolate treats for younger guests and even got a glimpse …
I have a board meeting Monday, remember?
Huh? As I flipped on the coffee maker Saturday morning, hubby still in PJs, I stared blankly at the coffee grounds. Erm, no I don’t remember. It really didn’t matter. This was all code of course. He wanted me to occupy the girls for a couple hours while he locked himself in the office.
So … off we went to Cafe Nero. I let the girls put on whatever they wanted — which manifested in a rainbow of pink leggings, green and yellow summer dresses and navy jumpers. I pulled on the first thing I could find — Gap curvy jeans with some sort of splotch on the leg (toothpaste? gravy?) and the gray and pink Laura Ashely jumper I've been living in all winter.
Oh well, it was still early, maybe we wouldn't run into anyone we knew.
Kate on Thin Ice is absolutely shining in her new role at BritMums helping to connect bloggers with good causes. Her latest endeavour is to get 90 women to write 90 words about Breakthrough Breast Cancer. So, here goes… My first memory is my mother, kissing my forehead and tucking …
I love my Scottish husband. I would do anything for him. Give up my career, spend my days wiping dirty bottoms, make endless meals from morning ’till night.
But I absolutely, resolutely refuse to eat haggis.
Never will a forkful of that oatmeal/lamb innards mixture pass my lips. I don’t care if it is a national dish. Or if my marriage depends on it. The thought of it makes my tummy turn.
I know this is not fair. I know that many people relish haggis, enjoy it even. Especially on the 25th of January, Burns Night, the birth date of the beloved Scottish poet Robbie Burns.
I know you are just DYING to know what has happened to my little shattered iPhone 4 on her O2 Recycle journey. Well, here's the scoop. My little girl has made it to the remarketing centre in Scotland. She was inspected there, and because of her slight blemishes (OK, her entire glass back was shattered), they offered me £157.50 (down from the web site estimate £210). I thought about it for about a second and agreed.
Those Scots sure are fast. I already have the cheque!
