Phew...thank you all...that seems to have worked....blasted thing kept asking me....How are you today?......Lord save us...my phone cares.
Anyway I got it open, removed everything, blew on it and put it back.
It's only a cheap £35 Tesco...my last one was £12...☺ and I only changed because I wanted a camera to photograph ideas in craft shops etc..
It would be a waste for me to buy anything snazzier.....it's lost, flat or in Ireland on its own...
Anyway, thank you all for that....landline is iffy and while I could do without a phone for a few days the home needs to be able to contact me...xx
