Default Does my bad luck know no bounds......

Dropped my fucking phone in the toilet this morning

It was like it homed in on the bastard water, like something wanted it to get ruined

Now it won't work and all my numbers are stored ont he phone, not the sim.....

What's more is if I have to buy a new phone, I'm almost certainly finished as far as going to blackpool goes.....

Various things end up in the toilet in our house..... but its usually the hand of a 15 month old that puts em there!

Dad's brush, aftershave and a few shampoo bottles have graced the bowl of late !

Hope you get it sorted...

No, that's the worst part. I just went to pull it out of my pocket to check the time as I entered the bathroom - it went for a burton and ended up down the bowl, but not before skimming round the edge of the seat to prolong my agony....

I've got the battery detached and have it on my desk but it's not exactly warm here. I'll stick it in the airing cupboard tonight.

The toilet water was fresh, so no piss

I think rinsing with distilled water then allowing to dry is best if its still not working after drying out.
