...oops; didn't start it with 'I would like to win an iPad because'....

I would love to win one so that I could take it to my daughters and the boys wouldn't have to fight over having just one [they could also teach me how to use it grin]. I could also take it away with me and keep in touch with everyone and everything when I go away [can't quite do that with my ancient [so old you have to wind it up confused] computer sad].
..I have an old computer
It's really rather sad
My life would be much easier
If I had...an iPad grin...

i would love to win an Ipad because my grand daughter absolutely LOVES ra a raa the noisy lion and when we babysit she always asks for it (its one of the few things she can say) and we dont have access to it so she gets a little upset and it tugs on my heart strings. With an Ipad she can sit with nanny and grand dad and watch raa raa till her heart content.

I would like to win an ipad for my middle granddaughter. Her big sister got one for her birthday and Maddy has been coveting it ever since. It would save so many squabbles !

I would like to win an iPad because we are lacking in technology in our household

I would love to win an iPad so I can Skype my family x

I would like to win an iPad so that I have one before my 92year old mother does. (She's dropping hints that her laptop is "getting on a bit" and that it "doesn't seem to be Skyping as well as it used to"!!!?)

I would like to win an iPad because...the only tablets I have are to keep me going so I would like to have a tablet that can entertain me rather than having to swallow it!

I would like to win an ipad because there are some fantastic phonics games to play which would help my grandson as he starts school - learning is fun!

I would like to win an iPad because we've never owned one before, and for travel this would be very easy to carry and would not add much extra weight.

I don't have one and I would like to see what the fuss is about!

I would like to win an iPad because all my grandchildren tell me about these fab apps that let you do almost everything but clean your house. It would be lovely be have everything like music, photos etc. organised on it plus use it to keep in touch with family when I can't visit them. Looks a super gadget

Oops - meant an iPad each of course! Duh!

I would like to win an iPad to give to my grandson. We used to live very near to one another and had great fun, but now he's moved 80+ miles away I try to use technology to bridge the gap, so he uses his mum's iPhone to skype and face time and I set him fun challenges (and sometimes he sets them for me - often using photo and film exchanges). With an iPhone each we could be a little more adventurous.

I would like to win an ipad because Skype would make it easy to get in touch with the family and I could do a bit of sneaky window shopping curled up on the sofa in front of the TV!

I would like to win an ipad to keep the grandkids happy

lynnetd Mon 27-Oct-14 23:05:37

I would like to win an ipad so I could download the Cars game and show my grandson how good nanny is at playing his game.......or not x

ddraig123 Mon 27-Oct-14 22:44:44

I'd like to win an iPad as everyone seems to have one except me!

constance Mon 27-Oct-14 22:38:33

I would like to win an ipad so I can keep in touch with my grandchildren even when I am out and about, as it will be light enough to carry in my handbag. It will be a good excuse to sit in cafes and use their wifi, and scare all the hip youngsters with my mastery of the new technology grin

I would like to win an IPad because my desktop pc is so old its clockwork, my grandchildren think it is hilarious, so I would like to show them how "with it" their Gran is with a new IPad thlwink

priorslee Mon 27-Oct-14 22:26:12

it would mean I wouldn't have to hassle my OH to get off the laptop!

lornajk Mon 27-Oct-14 22:11:01

I would like to win an iPad because...it is important for us oldies to keep up with technology and be able to keep in touch with and play modern stuff with the little ones :-)

Janelle Mon 27-Oct-14 22:04:04

I would love to win an ipad so that I can play games with my lovely (nearly) two year old twin grandchildren and also talk to them on Skype.

I would like to win the ipad because my PC is on the blink and it would make accessing the internet so much easier, I have to wait for ages at the moment for my PC to start, half the time I give up!
