jazzy_daveIt has been one of those days where you know it would have been best to stay home asleep.
I popped out to town this afternoon to post an item sold on Discogs. Unfortunately, I do not have a link to the online Royal Mail postal service from Discogs as I do with eBay. So I had to physically go to the post office. I then wanted to get some food items but I needed a pee. So there I was in the Tescos toilet and when I finished and got up from the lav seat my phone falls out of my overcoat pocket and went down the toilet. I managed to get it out before flushing and dried it as much as I could.
However, now at home, it looks sad. It will not even charge up so taking advice from the net it is now surrounded by gel packs to dry it out and it says I should leave it a good few days before trying to turn it back on. I hope it will work again. I feel lost without one now.
Luckily, my friend, mary at 27m has given me her old pay-as-you-go phone from Tescos. It is also a Huawei P Smart, so same phone model but silver instead of black. It just needs topping up if I need to make a call or use data if I am not ina WiFi zone.
Seriously though, someday I may upgrade my phone anyway. The contract is due to finish soon.
