It is not my day today … It started off with me feeling incredibly sick …I soldiered on and got better as the morning went on. Went out to lunch with the mother in law and spent a few hours with her …Hubby did some jobs for her . I kept my tongue curbed and took all the barbs she threw my way .
We finally headed home and I took Ruby for a walk , on returning home I went to the loo. I forgot to remove my phone from my jeans pocket and said phone fell down the loo! ….It is not working, Hubby has dried it with the hairdryer and all I can do is wait …I am not to hopeful.
It’s like having an arm amputated I guess like everyone else my whole life is in that phone ..banking, address book, friends, blog, photos absolutely everything. No it is not insured.
So to add to my toothache, backache and swollen ankle and foot I now have a dead phone……. It has two chances ….. so do I!
Okay that’s a tad over the top but we do keep everything on our phones ! Lesson learned . Let’s hope things improve next week . 💜💜 💜💜

Jul 07, 2019 @ 16:19:40
I heard that you can put your cell phone in a bag of rice to dry it out.
Jul 07, 2019 @ 16:22:09
Thank s you I am leaving it to hubby! I usually cope but not today I have not had a good week…… I would probably kill it ! 💜💜 💜💜
Jul 07, 2019 @ 16:23:01
Ah, another reason why my phone only makes and receives texts and calls (and now takes photos), and I have a backup list of phone numbers in an address book!
Hope it dries out OK.
Jul 07, 2019 @ 16:25:10
I a beginning to see the sense of what you are saying ! …..Fingers crossed…and thank you . It’s not the phone really that was just the last straw…… Hurry up next week 💜💜 💜💜
Jul 07, 2019 @ 16:45:38

Thank you Di, ….and yes there is always hope 🙂 🙂
Jul 07, 2019 @ 17:09:07
Always. How is Tess?
Jul 07, 2019 @ 17:18:10
She is having some respite,she has had a few days in Kent visiting her youngest son who she does not see very often.He was even off work so they gadded about together. She has been back since Thursday and been out and about each day since. She is off to Nottingham to visit her middle son and his family and also visit her other daughter in law and two granddaughters freshly back from the UAE and her eldest son will be joining them in September when he finishes his contract. So all her family will be back in England. Her hubby is doing well in respite. Her daughter visited him the other day and he wanted to go home with her, so Tess is staying away but phoning daily to see how he is doing. She needed the break as hubby is getting really difficult . I just hope she is as bouncy as she says she is . 🙂
Jul 07, 2019 @ 17:22:53
So glad she is getting the respite she needs and getting to see everyone. So pleased it;s working out for her husband too. Give her my best.
Jul 07, 2019 @ 17:24:56
I will do , she will appreciate your thoughts. I hope she will cope okay when he comes home. 💜💜
Jul 07, 2019 @ 18:06:18

Jul 07, 2019 @ 16:23:53
Oh, and hope you are feeling better (sorry, hit send before I’d finished!)
Jul 07, 2019 @ 16:28:48
Thank you I will no doubt soon, nothing lasts for ever 💜💜 💜💜 💜💜
Jul 07, 2019 @ 16:24:35
Dry rice does usually work… hope it sorts itself out, Willow and that tomorrow is a brighter day xx
Jul 07, 2019 @ 16:27:04
Thank you Sue, I know in the scheme of things this is small meat.. “the sun will come up tomorrow” thank you will try the rice 💜💜 💜💜
Jul 07, 2019 @ 16:43:00
Days like that don’t seem ‘small meat’ when you are going through them. Hugs, Willow xx
Jul 07, 2019 @ 16:28:57
My daughter put her phone through the washing machine the day after she got it. 🙄
The rice works but you have to leave it for a couple of weeks and get on it before the water cause any damage. I couldn’t believe it, but her phone was fine.
Hope things are looking up!💕
Jul 07, 2019 @ 16:40:08
Thank you for the advice and hope ! we have shook out surplus water, dried and now it is sitting in a bag with silica gel packs around it….. fingers crossed i shall post an update . Lets hope I am as lucky as your daughter . Thankfully tomorrow is another day. 💜💜 💜💜 💜💜
Jul 07, 2019 @ 17:26:43
Oh, wow, what a day indeed! You went over enough but the phone really was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I hope you can make it work at least enough to save all the necessary data. Sending you big hugs, Willow 💖
Jul 07, 2019 @ 17:43:56
Thank you Erika ..thank goodness tomorrow is another day. 💜💜💜💜💜💜
Jul 07, 2019 @ 17:47:09
Indeed, the big part of the day can simply be left behind… the rest will follow and it all will look differently tomorrow. 💖 💖 💖
Jul 07, 2019 @ 17:54:28
you are so right Erika I just need to be positive 💜💜💜💜
Jul 08, 2019 @ 17:49:42
I hope everything looks a bit better today, dear Willow 💖

Thank you , I am sure things will improve 💜💜💜💜💜💜
Jul 07, 2019 @ 18:05:05
One of the advantages of having no patience with gadgets, I use my phone to text, call and take photos. I hope you get it working again and the headache doesn’t come to anything horrid 🙂
Jul 07, 2019 @ 18:08:31
I know I depend on it far too much, I blog and do just about everything on it! I am finding my way around my laptop right now it’s all so different. Tomorrow hopefully all will look better. It was just the straw that broke the camels back! 💜💜💜💜
Jul 07, 2019 @ 18:32:11
I can get that way about finding someone’s eaten all the ham.
Jul 07, 2019 @ 18:44:09
Lol that makes sense 🙂 🙂 🙂🙂🙂 🙂 🙂🙂
Jul 07, 2019 @ 18:48:32
When you needed it for the supper…
Jul 07, 2019 @ 18:49:30
yes indeed…. was it the dog or the cat….🙂 🙂 🙂🙂
Jul 07, 2019 @ 19:04:13
A hungry child who doesn’t have to do the shopping or plan the meals. Dog and cats can’t open the fridge 🙂
Jul 07, 2019 @ 19:14:02
Ah! , a padlock for the fridge !! 🙂 🙂 🙂🙂🙂 🙂 🙂🙂
Jul 07, 2019 @ 19:16:08
She’ll be off to uni soon. We’re being indulgent while we still have one left at home 🙂
Jul 07, 2019 @ 19:23:39
Make the most of her, they all grow up too soon and fly away 🙂 🙂 🙂🙂🙂 🙂 🙂🙂
Jul 07, 2019 @ 19:57:58
I know. The others are still hovering.
Jul 07, 2019 @ 20:07:36
flapping wings ❤ 🙂 🙂 🙂
Jul 08, 2019 @ 17:50:59
One day, one of them will have lift off 🙂
Jul 08, 2019 @ 18:42:19
It will happen believe me it will ❤ 🙂 🙂 🙂
Jul 08, 2019 @ 18:54:21
I know. I’d like to see them independent. Might change my mind when it happens though.
Jul 08, 2019 @ 19:03:03
Being a parent is so hard……when they are small they break your back, when they grow they break your heart ❤
Jul 08, 2019 @ 19:09:51
It’s a good thing we don’t know all that before we have them…
Jul 08, 2019 @ 19:11:08
Yes it is , it’s a good thing we don’t know what life has in store before we st out on it ! ❤ 🙂 🙂 🙂
Jul 08, 2019 @ 19:13:12
We’d do it anyway.
Jul 08, 2019 @ 19:29:36
yes indeed we would every time !
Jul 08, 2019 @ 19:39:37
🙂
Jul 07, 2019 @ 18:08:52
Put it in a baggie with dry rice and freeze it. Works well.
Jul 07, 2019 @ 18:09:45
Thanks for the advice 💜💜
Jul 07, 2019 @ 18:29:05
Bum….
Jul 07, 2019 @ 18:46:14
Bum , Bum, Bollocks , Bum 🙂 🙂 🙂🙂
Jul 09, 2019 @ 22:04:22
that sounds like a lyric from Ed Sheeran
Jul 09, 2019 @ 22:08:42
Well at least you didn’t mention Mr Blunt 💜
Jul 10, 2019 @ 04:59:05
I didnt, did I? Well done me!!
Jul 10, 2019 @ 05:14:45
Lol 😃
Jul 07, 2019 @ 18:31:25
Some days are just bad. I hope it gets better tomorrow.
Jul 07, 2019 @ 18:44:46
Me too, thank you 🙂 🙂 🙂🙂🙂 🙂 🙂🙂
Jul 07, 2019 @ 19:48:28
Let’s hope! Hugs.
Jul 07, 2019 @ 20:27:52
I’ve heard you need to bury your phone in rice, which will draw the water out. Couldn’t hurt…
Jul 07, 2019 @ 20:31:48
Yes we have heard that too , we are doing something similar and using synthetic desiccants. Thank you for caring enough to help ❤ 🙂 🙂 🙂
Jul 08, 2019 @ 09:28:41
Hope your phone recovers. Be patient, it may take a few days. I did this very thing a little while ago. Ugh! It does feel like you’ve lost a part of your body … or a part of your mind. I used the rice methods (I bet the desiccants will do at least as well). It took about four or five days, but it is now good as new. Hoping the same for you.
Jul 08, 2019 @ 10:37:32
Hi Celia, I am trying the rice now , fingers crossed ! .😊🧡🧡🧡😘
Jul 08, 2019 @ 10:59:52
Oh no! Your day sounds like the title of a Judith Viorst book – “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.” Sure hope the phone recovers and you get to feeling better very soon.
Jul 08, 2019 @ 11:09:27
Yes it does in away , fingers crossed tomorrow is another day! Thank you for caring.😊🧡🧡🧡😘
Jul 09, 2019 @ 09:00:22
Hope this week is better!
Jul 09, 2019 @ 15:00:00
Thank you, it’s improving 💜
Jul 10, 2019 @ 19:52:32
Oh dear, poor phone.. we tried rice with the iPods, they wernt the same after a trip down the toilet.. hope things are getting better x x
Jul 10, 2019 @ 19:40:59
I don’t think anything does well after a trip down the loo. ,🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
Jul 10, 2019 @ 19:43:47
No I don’t think it does either.
Jul 10, 2019 @ 19:53:22
