    My Dh won’t touch iPhones so I suppose it has rubbed off on me. I’ve never had one and am perfectly happy with my Android which cost me about £200 over a year ago and I pay just over £6 a month for my sim. It has a great camera and does everything I want 👍 I do have an iPad ……which is a bit of a sore subject atm as I’m waiting for Dh or ds to swap me from my old I pad to the new one I got for Christmas……I’m a real technophobe and wary of doing it myself….but I’m tempted to give it a go. I keep asking Dh but he hasn’t got around to it yet. Dh won’t even have an I pad and has a generic tablet. I shan’t repeat what he says about them 😱😂😱😂 - he works in a computer shop and often has to contact them when working on people’s devices. But I love my I pad 😃
     I’m pleased you’ve got another appointment for the injection Beanie. 
    Dh got a laser printer a couple of years ago to get away from dried out inks. Every time I try to use it it won’t work for some reason. It’s usually fallen out with my computer and they’re not talking to each other. He seems to manage to work it ok. I just take whatever I want printing to the local shop. 10p a copy 👍

    This is exactly why we stopped going this time of year. It’s lovely to be in the sun while you’re there but the risk of storms on the return flight is too great. A few years ago we were on a flight back in February and the turbulence was so bad the flight crew packed away the trolleys and buckled up in their seats 😱 Usually they just carry on regardless so that’s when you know it’s bad.
