May Community Newsletter Competition - CLOSED

Got to be my mini I pad it gives me my daily newspaper ,zoom chats with the kids, A Monday night distance chat with my mates, picture memories news from the BBC ,and a chance to show off the garden to friends and help an old man create a picture diary of what plants are where but like me it’s not as young as it used to be and can’t be far off going to the I pad cemet

My most commonly used tech item is my laptop. Now working full time from home and I've realised how out of date and slow it is. I feel I'm working g very inefficiently and, as a key worker, thus isn't good. So if I won I would put the voucher towards an upgrade. Thank you 

My Nespresso coffee machine.  I love it!  But it’s not particularly environmentally friendly using pods. I’d love to upgrade to a bean-to-cup.  That would be amazing! 

My most used appliance is my mixer. I'm flat out baking and my mixer is on its last legs so a new one would be great to keep me baking & fattening up my family during lockdown 

Most used appliance is probably my kettle and followed closely by my George Foreman grill. Both would be great to uograde!

Well now… what a lovely opportunity to up my performance levels. Since the start of our new normal, I have used the time wisely to follow an old dream of mine. For years I have wanted to educate my local community of Skemsdaile on the virtues of sensible food uses. For the past 3 wonderful years, I’ve been a chef volunteer for the Birchwood ‘Junk food waste program’ cooking up a storm from intercepted food destined for the bin and then donating it to the local comunity in a ‘pay as you feel cafe … So when the pandemic came to town and we had to close the cafe, my friends and Birchwood collages set up a food hamper delivery service.  

I also started posting a 21-day meditation as well as writing a daily audiobook story, something I’ve always wanted to do… and at long last, I have started shooting food waste videos… it is early days in my project, but could really do with some decent sound recording equipment, Decent wireless microphones and an up to date laptop, as i have decided to take our education service to a new level… we want to start running a school food, waste, and general fitness program… I managed to film a low budget pilot in Lathom high school, (pleas find the link below)… Thanks for the possibility… Ian :)

I tend to get more use out of my laptop than anything else, especially since it was linked with my mobile telephone and ID-Mobile account.  I am most definitely ready to replace it as I need MASfiles.SES more hard disk space for my work and leisure 

OK, so now that I have been informed that my first answer was wrong, I will try and atone with a correct/more suitable answer. I am torn between two. A new food mixer would be heaven, as I keep getting splinters off my old wooden spoon. Also a new washing machine would be fab, as the rollers on my old mangle tub are that old and worn, the gap between then them is too big to squeeze out the clothes properly😁

It would be my TV and it needs updating or upgrading as it's over 10 years old. It's served me well but in TV years it's well passed its sell by date.

Most used appliance in this house must be our old iPad ( 2nd feneration. Now more and more apps not applicable. 

£50 off a new laptop would be nice as mine has finally given up on me and online shopping is not great on a smartphone. 

My fridge freezer. The seal along the top is coming away. There is always a pool of water on the top shelf and a bit of mould in some places 😬 Not good so once the lockdown is relaxed, we need to get ourselves to Currys for a brand new one. High time!

Our kitchen sink isn't an appliance yet but I would love to upgrade it to a dishwasher!! Standing there washing up the dishes is the worst chore I think so I'd be a very happy bunny to be able to put a dishwasher in. 🤞🤞
