We are both in our 40's (no offence) and although not wizz bangs on the old t'interthingy we (I) consider ourselves competant.
Anyway.......Lynne gets a notification.
Skype needs a kick up the a#$e to keep your remaing credit - £9.67 out of £10.00 top up last time we used it!
Ok. "I will do this and use the credit, then dump it" says the technologically enlightened Lynne - 'cos she now uses new stuff like 'watsuuup' and 'faceache messenger'.
Several minutes later..... "what's my number?" so I duly recite her mobile......at which point I see a light come on behind her beautiful eyes......oh bugger, "Skype is on my tablet, not my phone." (The tablet has been relegated to the back of the cupboard due to her monumental upgrade to a phone with a screen larger than a matchbox)
Retrieve tablet.
Charge tablet.
Turn on tablet.
Put a coffee pot on while it boots up.
"I deleted Skype as we were not using it"
"you can download the app again, sweetness"
"I need 'google playstore' for that don't I?"....impressive!
"Yes love"
"It keeps saying 'google playstore' not available...."
"Try again"
"It has said 'google playstore' not available about 200 times Darren"
By this time my Motorhome fun browsing is being seriously interrupted.
"Restart your tablet" I try helpfully.
Another 10 mins.
"Can't get on t'interweb?"
"Try logging onto our mifi again"..... this is where the fun starts.
"Are we three 'bb43.. etc?"
"Yup"
"It wants the password"
""It's on the inside of the back of the mifi box, dear." She has a lot to put up with!
"Will you do it?"
Motorhome fun browsing comes to a grinding halt.....
Takes back off mifi.
Squints.
Re-adjusts glasses.
Squints some more.
Brainwave - activate camera-phone, take fuzzy photo, repeat, swear.
"Let me try" she says.
Perfect pic.
Enlarge pic.
Enter password.
Fast forward 5 mins. All sorted.
I'nt technology great......if your eyes work, and your wife.
