    Good Morning,

    Sunny and bright here. Thank you for your well wishes :o Feeling a bit brighter every day.

    We had evey kind of weather yesterday, so no sitting in the garden! Went into town with DH and DS2 for DS2 to get a haircut. (Now he is a big teenager, haircuts need to be in designer barbers by hipsters with tattoos!). Then we shuffled to John Lewis for free tea and cake. ( I have lost a stone and gained 30 years in the last month!).

    Popped to Lidl on the way home for crisps and cheap red wine. :D

    Was exhausted and had to go asleep! But happy with my bargains. :)

    DH and DS2 going to visit grandma today, I may have a slow walk around A for some 3 for 2 armed with 3 Dogs list and Chelsea Fred's research.

    Good morning all, sunny day here :D

    Off to scatter FiL's ashes today. Rebellious to the end he chose a place where we are not really supposed to do it, but really do not think it will destroy the ecosystem, it is a very large area and there is certainly worse left on the ground up there.

    Good Evening

    Just tried to post a long message and lost it - took too long to load!

    Basically would like to know if anyone can give me an idea of how much data they use per month and how much time does that give them on Smartphone?

    Just want to be able to surf web and check emails while at Mum's. Have never had a smartphone.
    Already get 200mins talk (plenty for me) unlimited text and 500mgb data (never used) as part of phone/internet contract. Could double the data for £5.00 per month.
    Would that be anywhere near enough, to keep in contact with you lot?
    TT suggest 500mgb would give 50 hours of surfing time?

    Can buy a sim free Smartphone from Asda using EVoucher credit from Sharpies.

    Any advice or suggestions gratefully received.

    All that my contract gives me is 100 MB so I have not turned it on, locally the two towns I tend to visit have plenty of free wifi, anything else can just wait till I get home.

    Snap, I am glad your sister is having the treatment, but it will be so very hard and she will need you all the more on this journey, so please come here to let off steam when you need to.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    Good morning Elite :hello: on this beautiful Sunday morning :T

    I see Mr A and pag playing once more, great news for those who were in a panic.

    NSD for me as I'm off out to lunch today :D. DS3s GF had invited us to lunch at her mums, after a few cancellations due DS3 cycling and racing it's on today :T. I'm going alone as Mr AJ doesn't want to go :eek: he says he doesn't like going to people's houses for meals when they are strangers :mad: we've met before, had a meal in a pub that he, Mr AJ paid for. He chatted all night long. I could quite happily throttle him :o :mad:

    My first thought was for me not to go and stay home with him, but on second thoughts I decided I was going to go and enjoy their company and good food :D

    Enjoy whatever you're all doing today, shopping most likely :rotfl:

    Hugs to the Elite poorly and those low in spirit, you are all in my thoughts today :). Loads of special healing thoughts are flying out towards those who need them xx
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.
