Our smart meter was here when we moved in 4.5 years ago, gone all trendy with the app on my phone so it's easy to see the usage.
I got one of them trendy "phone" things too  :)
I use it for texts , calls and even the occasional photograph  8)
.

I only got a phone because my daughter insisted, "I can never get hold of you" she said , I preferred it like that..😂

My mum has one, turns it on to call me, or to leave me a voicemail then turns it off.

She cannot understand why this drives me to the very edge of my sanity...

there's an even better reaction when you use that line on the boss:


Him - why do you have a mobile phone when you don't answer it?


Me - do you mean last Friday? The last day of my holiday? When I was driving back from Plymouth?(this was 22 years ago, so hands free in my 19 year old Capri wasn't really feasible) I'll deal with the problem now.


Him - but we did that on Friday!


Me - so you didn't need to speak to me at all. Like most of the phone conversations that happen here. I pay for it, for my convenience.


Him - stomped off muttering, and avoided me for nearly a week


One of the benefits of modern phones showing who is calling is being able to filter the conversations you don't need or want to have. Although that usually leads to a load of texts you also have to ignore.

My car doesn't have Bluetooth connectivity, so I have to use my 'Captain James T Kirk' Apple Watch and talk to my wrist.  ;D

At least you are talking to something. My hearing aids are Bluetooth so I answer my phone by tapping my ear twice, and my phone can stay in my pocket during the whole conversation. I’ve hung up on numerous calls just by scratching my ear.   ::) ;D
