    Thanks for all the great ideas guys I used to love doing potato prints think I will def have to try that again, should be goodish weather tomoz so hoping to get the tent out and have an "explorers lunch" and make maps etc in the garden.

    Just got back from the show as they don't charge to get in after 4pm so took the kids up had an icecream climbed on some tractors etc picked up some stickers and hopefully worn the kids out a little.


    CM not sure how big your garden is or what resources you have but how about a nature trail or if you could visit a local woods. When I was in Brownies/Guides:o we use to make the trails using stones twigs rocks etc I used to love doing these and I think most kids do as it's something different and gets them outdoors.

    They are memory sticks AH.

    For some reason kids seem to like having loads of them. I suppose they can save certain games, etc. Maybe Quoia knows better.

    Thanks Aesop for your reply hopefully Quoia will come along and let me know if they worth getting or not quality wise.:beer:

    Isn't a smartphone a phone with no keys but a touchscreen? That's how I understand it, but I may be wrong I guess...

    Quick summary of a smartphone

    A Smartphone is a device that lets you make telephone calls, but also adds features that you might find on a personal digital assistant or a computer. A smartphone also offers the ability to send and receive e-mail and edit Office documents, for example.

    There is no actual standard industry definition of a smartphone, and it doesn't have to be touchscreen, it can have a standard keypad too.

    So basically, if you can do additional functions like email & web browsing, it's a smartphone. It will also have a specific 'operating system' such as Android or Windows which is used to run the additional software features.

    sorry, I never saw this post :o

    A smartphone is one like the Android Phones, iPhones, Samsung Galaxy, HTC Explore and more.

    A smartphone allows you to surf the web, use wifi ( in certain areas for free), send texts, send picture messages, instant message, ie Facebook messenger, Windows Messenger. You can buy and sell on ebay, although you are a bit limited for ebay, but you can buy! You can send emails and receive emails.

    You can install a barcode scanner, so you scan barcodes, depending on your phone's camera. You can install other applications, like Quidco and topcashback. Quidco is good for checking in when out and about, you get money for free for checking in to certain shops.

    If you have a nectar card, you can download the nectar app, and you can check it before going shopping for exclusive offers.

    is it worth getting a smartphone? DEFINITELY!!!!

    Now, don't go mad, unless you are on a contract that is due to expire soon, then you can ask for an upgrade, which is usually free, but they may say you can have a smartphone, but some smartphones you have to pay the excess for, ie some contracts the Samsung Galaxy, iPhone, others give it for free.

    You will be tied in for 24 months, so you cannot leave them. You can expect to pay anything from £10 a month to £40 + a month.

    If you want any more advice, please PM me. I am not checking all the posts, so may miss you.

    I can help you choose the best tarif/phone dependent on if you have a contract and who you are with.
