My old phone was 5 years old and randomly switched off as the battery got to around 10%. It did good service, and I got my money’s worth from it, but it was time to go.

The new one is so much faster and the battery lasts more than a few hours! It lasts more than a day actually as I haven’t charged it yet!!
What phone is it?

The new one is an iphone xs. I got £50 off as a price match with John Lewis and then £135 trade in for my 5 year old iphone 6. So it still cost a lot of money, but if it lasts me at least as long as the 6 then it isn’t so bad.

Apparently the 5S and 6 will go out of support in September when the new version of iOS is released so it was time to think about changing anyway.

Oh really, I’ve got a 6s. Maybe that’s a good excuse to pester dad about getting a new one:D

Hi Heather, I would be better if I had at least 1 good leg, but I am getting around and trying to do more walking.
All being well I hope to start back to school on a phased return in a couple of weeks - that's where I do one day to start then build up to a full week. Outdoor activities are a no no for the rest of this school year :( Still waiting on my knee xray results though.
They sure do take long to give you answers.

Good mornooning everyone. Yesterday I went to buy a new phone which wasn’t as straightforward as it should have been. And then I had a governor meeting in the evening. I do finally have the phone set up and working, so hopefully there will be no further glitches in my attention to the CDR!
Thank goodness for that.

The guy that had her, raised her from a hatchling. They were moving and could not take her and thought it better to give her up. That’s all I know. She has adjusted very well so far, only thing is I have not seen her bask yet. But that will come.
Well she could not have gone to a better home.

Hello all, going to take a break from the TFO for awhile. News from my doctor was a bit alarming for me.
My right lung that had 2 punctures in it from the accident. The lower 1/3 is not functioning and what was thought as scaring in the lung looks different. Plus my pulmonary arterial hypertension is progressing. So my oxygen saturation is staying low. So more imaging needs to be done.
I am going to take a break from TFO for awhile and crawl back into my hole. I will try to check in now and then.

Hang in there Ray. Maybe TFO helps you with some distractions!

I know how that goes. I have been putting off getting a new phone and dragging my feet about upgrading my phone's operating system. I hate phone shopping even worse than I hate grocery shopping and clothes shopping.
I'm hoping and praying I don't have to get a new phone soon. I'm wearing this one out on the CDR. I have a laptop but I like my phone so much better.
