Hi, I'm new to the site - an OAP (sorry!!!) but having just purchased a new iPad I am eager to learn all there is to know! I'm not quite sure how much, or little information I should be putting here so apologies if I tend to waffle (which I do at length). I live in Lincolnshire with my 3 dogs, I love gardening, cooking, decorating and I have now found a new hobby in the iPad - I have only had it a week but find I have to hide it away otherwise I don't get anything done.

I can fully understand you. :-)
Same with me. I have to turn it off to get my work done, even more so since I discovered iPF. Hello and welcome!

Congrats on the iPad and welcome to the forum!
