Got to say 'it is worth a thought'. I do live on my own, but I doooo forget things! Would I need one though??

‘Need’, prob not. Find it useful? Definitely.
I bought a WiFi plug, and my heater plug into it. Now when in bed I just tell Alexa to turn the heater on or off. I use it to wake me up, to a particular song. I ask it all sorts. Weather, about a famous person that might be referenced on tv. I use it as a reminder/timer when cooking as my oven timer is not loud.
If you have friends who have one, you can call them free echo device to echo device.
If you have a kindle, it will read to you from where you left off

Can you call from echo dot to echo dot too? That would be fun. Maybe our budgies can have calls Good job none of mine talk.. I can just imagine it. Echo call Mildred, or Echo, call Ben and Max

For those that have one try saying "echo/alexa, night, night". When you get one Marianne you can say it also.

It’s definitely getter better at patterns, recognising things I do frequently.
I said thanks yesterday, it said you’re welcome. That’s what I like, manners

I will remember that for when I get it. I always say night night to each budgie individually too, so why not Alexa

My friend has one and when he sends a text through Alexa app, she reads it out. When he sends a voice message, the message comes through Alexa in his OWN voice, its so weird.

I will be like Marianne and wait for Boxing Day. Mind you, it would probably tell me to grow up and stop asking stupid questions 😂😂
