I have four grandchildren, two about 50 miles away, and twins 150 miles away. When they were born we moved to where they live and rented a house so we could help and get to know them. We have now moved back, and miss them terribly. They are only just over a year old, but I would love to have the chance to keep pace with them as they start to use technology - which is at a very young age. In the meantime, I am absolutely sure my other two grandchildren, aged 6 and 4, would be forever impressed to know that their grandparents were up to play adventure games via an i-pad. What amazing school-cred that would give them! :-)

I would like to win an iPad because the screen is so much bigger than on my tablet and then I would be able to see what I'm doing and who I'm talking to!

I would like to win an iPad because I don't have any other device and it would help me support my grandchildren it gaining the all important computer skills. Also, being of a certain age it would help me to feel not so much like a dinosaur and enable me to keep in touch more with family and friends, even while in hospital. Thanks for the chance to win.

i would like to win an ipad as my grandchildren could show me how to use the internet on the move. i could facetime them when they are at home and help with homework etc, which at the moment we do by phone, thanks for the opportunity.

I would like to win an ipad because I am constantly and increasingly, being amazed by my grandmother friends who dive into their handbags and pull out this item saying,
" Thought you might like to have a look at my latest grandchild"!

I'd like to win an iPad so I could loll on the settee reading Gransnet instead of either sitting at the desktop or squinting at my iPhone.
The iPad seems to combine the best of all worlds in versatility and ease of use smile

I would love an ipad to interact with my grandchildren who are 3 and 5. It means I have many games, jigsaws, books, educational worksheets, songs to listen to and join in, art materials, mathematical puzzles and so on in the palm of my hand without having to have a trailer with me to carry everything with me.
Everything is quickly available, and if the apps don't work, can get another one.
Here I'm keeping my fingers and toys crossed

I would like to win an iPad because...It would help me to get up to date with the internet, and not feel as though the technology was leaving me way behind.

I would like to win an iPad because with it I could pad my way forward to a happy future with my family and grand-children!

I want to win an Ipad because I really want one and I'm too tight to go out and buy one.

jueperry Sat 01-Nov-14 12:06:58

I would like to win an Ipad because my Grandchildren have access to their parents Ipad and I could FaceTime them everyday as they live 20 miles away. (I can't drive so I don't get to see them as much as I would like to)

georgiejg Sat 01-Nov-14 14:02:21

I would like to win an iPad as my daughter is off travelling soon and it would be the perfect way to keep in touch.

I would like to be able to help him with his schooling

Because I often need to access the Internet when away from the house and ,despite the adjective `portable` that is attached to my laptop, it is really not that convenient to lug it around all over the place. An i-Pad would perform as well as, if not better, than my laptop and it is genuinely easy to carry and store.

I would love to win an iPad as my granddaughter who lives with me and I would both benefit from us having one, she would be able to play games and it would help assist with her learning, plus when she goes to bed I can then surf the Internet on it!

I would like to win an iPad because I could keep in touch with my grandson (and his Mum). He often wants to show me something and doesn't understand that I can't see him.
