My kindle has stopped working properly too after one of us squished the home screen button with a load of books so it has stopped working. I have got a replacement minus that button which has picked up my library. I made the mistake of leaving the synchronise devices checked and poor DH lost his place in the book he was reading (we share his account). He was not happy. My iPad is plodding on, but cannot take modern apps as it is such an old version of the operating system so I use it for mail, newspaper and a Sudoku app, and occasionally FB. I can manage.
Hopefully with a new day your fall out will have receded a bit and bridges can be built.Save £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £9586.01 out of £6000 after August (158.45%)

I had a blooming fall outdoors today.

I know I am doing too much (for me) & I know I need to try to cut down even just a wee bit.

Another poor nights sleep 💤 which never helps. There was a lot of rain during the night which dident help as it bangs off the conservatory roof & is very noisy.Hope all is well with you? 😊I am a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Mortgage Free Wannabe & Local Money Saving Scotland & Disability Money Matters.
