  • My boyfriend got a radio wet in the sea (don't ask!) and a friend who knows about electrical stuff said to rinse it in fresh water and then make TOTALLY sure its dry before trying to switch it on again. Anyway we dd this and it seems to be fine now so hopefully if you can get it dry then it should be OK. We left the radio in the airing cupboard to help it dry out.

    After the shopping she is gone to her friends house.I will be getting the phone call any minute to pick her up

    Dry the phone put it back in the pocket and put them in her room, don't tell her. I'm not saying this is good advice but its what I'd probably do.

    Hope it works out.

    I don't know what au pair do? I do stay in my employers house and do everything need doing. Cooking cleaning gardening looking after the children and taxi-ing.

    I had a phone call from the girl to ask if she can sleep over at her friends house? And, I said, yes.:j

    Basically a nanny and au pair are pretty much the same. It'll all be fine I'm sure. She'll learn a lesson in tidying up aswell :D

  • Not sure if it helps but this phone is on offer with Amazon for £79.99 on O2, you could probably unlock it to all networks easily for free too.

    Hahaha, no not completely nocturnal (although it has been known for me to get my sleep pattern upside down every now and then) - just couldn't sleep very well last night so came on the pc instead of stressing out in bed lol.

    This is basically the advice I had when I drowned a phone: take the phone as far apart as you can, back off, front off, battery out, then leave it somewhere warm to dry - airing cupboard is good - for as long as possible. THEN put it back together and try switching it on. I left mine for 48 hours and it was fine.

    Yes, it will be obvious to anyone in the trade that the phone has been drowned because there's an indicator strip on the battery which changes colour. And you may not be lucky, and the phone may be OK for a bit and then become unreliable.

    I agree the phone could just as easily have been damaged by being left on the bedroom floor and trodden on, so I would hope your employer would be reasonable about this and not expect you to replace it at your own expense. Or, at the least, to allow you to do this by making a SMALL deduction from your wages over the next few months rather than paying for it all at once.

    Hope it works out ...
