Oh no
wolf 😭
We are quite bad with wasting food tbh. Meal planning and organisation not our strong point at all.
Argh. Well, not frugal here either. iPad screen cracked sometime last year - think it was a dent in the edge that did it. It’s been fine with a screen protector for months and then suddenly gave up and is pretty much unusable. It’ll be worth getting a new screen rather than trying to replace (it’s still updating iOS etc, had it just over 3y) and it’s used a lot for DS’ work, but oh dear lord the cost 😣 I’m not sure where is best to go for this sort of thing. We have an iStore in town that’s still open for C&C/repairs.
Sing you will probably think l am nuts suggesting this but here goes, ignore me if you want to l am a daft Apeth

My Dd2 said if you want to get it repaired by someone not Apple then Apple won't touch the lpad again for you, so it is a bit of a conundrum. She only ever has Apple equipment and has used both Apple and a non Apple repair shop. Saying that, she took her 4 year old Macbook for a new battery that cost her 50 quid to the local whizz kid shop in town and it saved her a fortune . She has had screen done on her Iphone/lpad and replaced the batteries there too. She tends to use the whizz kid for her older appliances and the ones under warranty she takes to the Apple shop because if you get a repair through them then they will give you a warranty on the part.

l don't know if you live anywhere near here most probably not
but they are absolutely fantastic. l would trust them with any device . If you gave them a ring they might be able to point you in the right direction bit of a long shot but might be worth a try
They are very nice and cannot do enough for you. They are all Tech Nerds and love nothing other than meddling with phones laptops etc
