My son sent me one of these as he knows I love technology. However, I have discovered the longer you are away from work the less aware you become regarding the possibilities of such items 
I was wondering if you can set up a standard message to be sent when you make a standard comment to Alexa. For example could I say "Alexa, say good morning to DD" and a standard "Just letting you know I'm up and about" type message would go to DD?
If so does anyone know how to set this up?

Go to the Alexa app on your phone, click on devices, the page in the picture will come up.
Now ask it to perform tasks messages at certain times.

Thank you, Sago. I think that starts with "put the Alexa app on your phone" I tend to be okay once I get going.
I am busy setting up the firestick on my TV too. We have such a poor signal it's quite a saviour and I am very excited about being able to watch youtube sewing tutorials on a big screen (well bigger). Next bit to learn about are smart bulbs, I think.
Here is how to set up an Alexa routine, I have a bedtime routine for turning off the lamp in my living g room.
