I may been in the doghouse...

I plugged Swain;s phone in to charge last night..except i didn't apparently push the plug in far enough and this morning when we woke up he found his phone is !!!!ed. Thankfully he;s not to !!!!ed off with the phone being broken (i've offered to replace it), but is pretty annoyed that he's lost all of the progress on one of his games.

Gah accidents happen but i'm annoyed with myself. I have a friends at an open mic night who've invited me down but am feeling so guilty about the phone that i feel i dont deserve to do something happy for myself.

I am not having a good day. Want to go home and make a big codemonkey nest on the sofa but going to have to deal with broken freezers and the mil (she's lovely but I don't have the energy to deal with people tonight). It looks like the freezer of doom has been defrosting and refreezing based on the mess of it so all the food is going to have to be binned which I hate - although some of the meat can be DA dogs dinner.

Hugs, squishes, jelly babies, wotsits and pizza for the fort.

I don't get it. How can the phone not being plugged in properly break it? Sounds like a coincidence to me.

It was working fine before hand, he reckons there was a power surge, so like it got 6v when it needed 9v and that's what !!!!!!ed it. Haven't a clue. All i know is it sure as hell isn't working now. Either wway i was the last person to have it.

I cannot see how the phone can be your fault, MU. I think you should stop taking responsibility for it.

I bet it will mysteriously start working again soon. That's what happened to our laptop. It sulked for a bit through overuse, I think.

ETA: I'm not sure about anyone else, but it is slightly giving me the chills if Swain is blaming you, although from your post it seems more like you blaming yourself.

I think men get very protective over their gadgets.
The only time hubby ever shows annoyance or gets cross is when a gadget didn't work, or he is driving! He is the most placid person ever but put him behind a wheel and he turns in to Victor Meldrew on steroids!!

code nest is ready for you in fort when you are done dealing with freezer and MIL.......I feel your pain there.................dreading MIL visit this weekend!


MU - agree with Whitewing - not your "fault" - you should not be feeling guilty. So you were the last person to touch it, so what? Hope it didn't ruin your time with Swain. {squish} besides - some technology just doesn;t like certain people................ I had banned hubby from using the shredder after he broke it for the 6th time and I had to take it all apart to get it to work again............. however, he was shredding in front of me the other day and it literally just stopped again.......... I go to it, it works............ he does it, it stops.........he does it again under childlike supervision and instruction from me and it refuses to work......... I touch it and it is fine.................. have to say, I did actually apologise over that one and agree that I would do all shredding from now on. ( I am lying, I laughed hysterically at him first but I did then apologise - it really really hates him!)

Even if it was a power surge, that's not your fault. And it wouldn't be connected to it not being plugged in properly. That's not how electricity works. So you can stop feeling so bad about it, you absolutely did not cause it

Hmm, I forgot to update about my day...

Headcold is really hurting still, otherwise not too bad physically. Dragged myself up to the hosp today, to find it was the wrong day. I suspect they wrote down the wrong date on my appt slip, lovely staff but ditzy.

Then went up to my ex's place - we're good friends. Provided moral support and encouragement with a few things, tidying etc. He's a mild-moderate hoarder and I still get antsy in cluttered spaces even though we split a couple of years ago. He's been doing so well, I'm happy to be encouragement

Now my finances are a lil less precarious, I'm going to pay him to come down and help me. I'm thinking mostly personal care, ut would appreciate any thoughts about things he can help me with. I'm wary of asking for help with household chores as A. I have a flatmate, and B. my ex sometimes struggles to do his own, due to pain and MH issues.

Atm I'm thinking of help having a bath (I so miss being able to get myself into and out of the bath!), help with physio exercises and stretches so I don't seize up, and maybe batch cooking? Can anyone think of other ideas? Or if there's any problems with the things I'm thinking of?

*hugs* to all
