I lost my daughter 24/09/1993 aged 9 months after a heart op at Bristol Royal Infirmary, we had a few more hits on top of the loss, but that's another story. One thing people always say is that we shouldn't have to bury our children, but we do. Initially we just put one foot in front of the...

I've found Spusu to be good for mobile around the southwest, runs on EE and contract length is a month. Answerphone is a little different, you get a text link to an individual number to listen to each voicemail, or as an audio file attached to an email or both.

These will do for a one off, you'll need the adapter as well. Go through with a standard masonry drill bit first as your pilot then fit it in the adapter to guide it through. https://www.toolstation.com/tct-core-drill-bit/p69846 https://www.toolstation.com/tct-core-adaptor/p79567

Generally the non-UK data can be a little hit and miss, the Mormon Church have a huge repository of data for US citizens and I believe this includes US immigrants. Most subscription/packages also charge extra for international data, so I keep a running list of things I want to search and upgrade...

Cracking images as usual, and on the side of the Moor I'm more familiar with. I had to laugh seeing that last image, for a few years I have had an idea for a composite image of what I think is the Hawthorn tree just in the bottom right of your image with Sharp Tor behind it. My idea came whilst...

I think I'm a bit long in the tooth to try and move to a Mac, I have never been comfortable using any of the Apple products that I've tried over the years for some weird reason they just didn't seem to fit with my logic. So obviously I am going to have to increase the budget and sneak it past...

Did one on ancestry last year as I am trying to look for a cousin who was given up for adoption and my grandfathers heritage as he was born out of wedlock. Ancestry was good and allowed me to download and reuse my results and gedcom files on other sites. I'm currently using My heritage which...

Time has moved on and left my main PC behind, not suitable for W11 update and Adobe products complain about specs such as video memory and compatibility just get the feeling it is starting to struggle a little, I used to be happy building my own pc's but I'm getting on a bit and have got left...

Always been a bit pessimistic about politicians, so did it myself two years ago. Went to a mini rewilding festival linked to a local bookshop in Totnes and heard an inspiring talk by Sarah Gibson author of Swifts and Us. We have an old house so have put up 3 boxes and a caller on a timer. We use...

Yes, I remember seeing it somewhere now you mention. You also have to upload a wav file of your outgoing voicemail message. All a bit of a faff in my books, and I get enough spam emails as is. But I'm happy to tolerate it for good signal, relatively cheap calls and data on a monthly contract...

Been with them for a month or 2, EE network so no problems there. But the voicemail feature is strange. All other providers I've ever used you could assign a number to a long press key -1 normally as it has the icon. Not with SPUSU though, each text notification that you have a voicemail seems...

A bit above your budget at £329.00 but might be of interest are the nothing phones, it seems they have cleverly distanced the image sensor from the lens to create a true telephoto setting. phone-3a

A few ideas to consider. I'm with ionos and their email spam filter can be rather overzealous with certain senders, incoming mail is held up at the server and so doesn't make it onto my desktop app spam folder, I routinely now log into their webmail function and check that spam folder and have...

Have you considered hiring a campervan? https://www.campervanhire.wales/

Not Australia, but China and NZ last November I used Firsty https://www.firsty.app/australia-esim it has a free option where you watch a 30 second advert and that gives you 30 minutes of data. Paid version had good reviews last I checked
