Can anyone help. My wife is having to stay in bed through sickness, I have managed to aquire a Philips Baby Monitor so that I can keep aware of her needs without her having to shout to me whilst I am downstairs.The problem is of course that the monitor is only one way.Is there a way to adapt so that I have two way conversation?.

If you've both got mobile phones (on tariffs which don't cost an arm and a leg) the solution seems obvious. Otherwise the cheapest wireless solution would be to buy a pair of walkie talkies. The really cheap ones (around �15 per pair) can get through batteries at an alarming rate. It would be better to buy a pair which come with a base unit for charging the built-in rechargeable batteries. They're available from Maplins, Argos or larger branches of Tesco for around �20.
