    Thanks for making me laugh, michaels.

    I am in a good mood tonight. After 24hrs of feeling mildly worried/guilty, I have been reunited with the iPad with which work issued me. DD found it under the driver's seat in my car. No idea how it escaped from my work rucksack and got under there, but very very happy not to be wondering how to explain its disappearance to IT support. :)

    Now need to do some marking... but I am not going to let it ruin my good mood. :)
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)

    Well done, James! :beer:
    And Michaels, I like that! Clever, efficient and, last but not least, very moneysaving!:D

    Saying that, I have no idea where my iPad is (last seen Monday in a cafe bar, I'm sure I had it when I got home though)

    Need to check the jacket I wore, as it probably needs charging for a meeting tomorrow.

    Enjoy the marking (even though I probably know you won't)

    Oh what lovely news about James and his interview. :j

    Had a letter from the Tribunal Service on Wednesday to say that they've set aside the Decision and my case will be heard by a different Tribunal. Asked for dates in the next 3 months when I won't be available, though wouldn't be surprised if it takes longer than that for me to reach the top of the list again.

    Presumably you have the "Find my iPad" feature on it?
    (I'm not sure how it works, though. I'll go and check).




    Edit......yes. Iit gives the map location of the iPad, so you'll know if it's at home or not. Then you can get it to play a sound.
    It does have to have "Find my iPad" enabled, plus it needs to be connected to the internet.

    Also, if you have another FaceTime-enabled device, you can ring it on FaceTime and hopefully hear that alert tone.


    Edit edit. I've just tried it. Ask Siri to find your iPad. It gives you a map with the location down to within several metres. Then you can click on 'Play Sound' and it starts a bell-sound which continues until you find the device and turn off the alert.

    My location thing always thinks I live in my neighbour's flat across the road! :D

    Morning Pyxis.

    Didn't get that far, it wasn't in the jacket, but was on one of the sofas, now fully charged :)

    If you're in the situation, best place to look is usually the first place you probably spent more than 2 seconds when you got in :)

    Can you ask Siri where my mobile phone is please? Last seen in Sheringham, where I discovered that DW's charger did not fit it. That would be three weeks ago.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    I would, if it were on my list of devices!

    You'd have to give me all its details, but then you'd have to kill me! :eek:




    Interesting question, actually. Would it work with a non-Apple device?


    Talking of phones, I'm toying with two providers for a smart phone. As I've never had a smart one before, how do I decide how many Gb to go for?
