actually when I misplaced the charger some time ago I found a phone charger that sort have fitted but not quite - it done the job a few times and so I have tried to use that phone charger today but no can do.
When I missed it today it was getting dark so I'm sure it is lurking about somewhere.
My neighbours'/friends' children change their Ipads/devices all the time and so if I don't find it - I will ask if they have a spare one. I have already asked my niece but she just received her booster tonight and so I told her to take it easy.
I have this computer so am not without internet completely.
What is annoying me is these "senior moments" because I remember saying to myself "now put this somewhere where you can get at it easy enough!
