Babysat for a half day today and bought my daughter a cell phone

This morning after my kids went to school I watched a movie on Netflix called“Elisa & Marcella”. I did a load of laundry, cleaned the bathroom sink & toilet. At 10:30 as I was washing the dishes I realized I forgot to give my son his medicine. I grabbed my keys and limped our to my van as fast as I could, jumped in m my van and went to the school. He had done okay without it thankfully. He swallowed it then went back to class and I went home. At 11am my parents dropped my niece off who stayed here with me until 2:45 when her mom was done working. The photo is of one of her little people toys her mom packed. It reminded me of @JudyEV in case it’s hard to tell what it is it’s a car and a mobile home camper. Tonight on Walmart’s website I bought my daughter a brand new iPhone 6 for $149 plus $34 for a 2 year extended warranty. I shopped through my points so I should earn a bunch of points.

@shaggin I see Mypoints is awesome. I am just using it again. Before I was banned from surveys but one day I tried again & it works :) I’ve cashed out a few times now in there. Yes screen protector is a must

That sounds like a pretty good deal for a phone.

@sallypup mine was $49 less when I bought mine two years ago or so but I was glad it wasn't more I was worried they wouldn't have any low cost.

Crap I just ordered from walmart and I should have did a site too. Is this a prepaid phone?

@andriaperry yes I will be paying for services on it via Straighttalk which is what I have. I think the lowest plan is $30 but it might be cheaper to add an extra line from mine.

@Tina30219 yes the new cell phone is exciting news. I wish I had the newer model . By the end of the year my cell phone won't work anymore on Straighttalks network so I have to buy a newer one and iPhone 6 or above.

well, we spend more to buy a iPhone 6 here. But I won't buy it, because at the same price, I could buy a Huawei with higher version.

@Behindtheguitarbar I had a Samsung and Zte as well as one other one but the iPhone 5 I have is the best phone I have ever owned. I'd rather an older iPhone model then any other brand that the latest model.

@Behindtheguitarbar this iPhone 5 I have the battery lasts me most the day. The other phones I had would last an hour. My boyfriend and his son just got the lates iPhone models and there battery lasts days literally. Nice to see improvements like that when they make new models.

@shaggin same to me. I would prefer an older model than the latest released. I have used iPhone, but the battery life is too short for me. Then, I have often carried the power bank every where. Not nice!
