The view from the back

 Well last night the topic of conversation was how good it is to talk, the mother in law said well I can still phone every day can't I ? Well every one agreed that would be expensive , but is it ?

a certain UK tv and phone / BB provider you know the one that stole football from the beeb. Has hidden in its t&c's the fact that if you have the top phone package for a heady £5 a month you can call Spain as much as you like for an hour a time for free. Problem solved relief all round , a hug from the wife - what countries aren't on that list eh! 

It wasn't long before the dreaded Skype raised its head, now earlier last year mum in law got a laptop so as to keep up with the brood on face book and soon found the world of on line shopping , now at 73 good on her I say for having a go ! however we have our fair share of lost passwords and odd questions ! I said how good the phone deal was and dodged to subject. 

So as the temp here in the UK soars to a mercury busting 20c at 10am and it seems like an impossible task to get the lovely wife up the loft ladder today , we are now on our way to see her mum and load Skype on her lap top .

if I still feel like using an iPad later on  i'll let you in on how jolly my days been .
