    :D:D:D That's so funny (sorry! )

    I was in a flap the other week due to losing my bank card which turned up in my sewing kit. At the same time I lost a rather large set of keys which for some reason were in front of the dolls' house. Someone asked if I'd been trying to get into it!

    One of my son's primary school teachers remembered me as the woman who found my son's missing glasses in the bread bin.

    My 'best' loss of phone was at work. I'd perched on a kitchen chair with the phone in my back pocket and when I got up it stuck itself to the faux leather back of the chair until my friend noticed it.

    OMG , that is hilarious. How it ended up in there, the mind boggles 😳.  Maybe was in pocket when hanging clothes on and it’s fallen out.

    That’s so funny 😂 
    I don’t keep mine in my back jeans pocket any more as it fell down the toilet when I pulled them up….not once, but twice! Never let it be said that I don’t learn a lesson eventually 🙄 Luckily both times it was insured, but it took some explaining 😅

    I know at least two people that's happened to - probably why more phones come waterproofed nowadays! So it's probably got a tickable box of its very own when the insurers assess the claim :D 

    I think the undies are a first though, you couldn't do it it you tried! :D

    Sorry OBL but I snorted with laughter reading about you finding your phone 😂

    Hubby has an iPhone without a case, and the bloody thing is constantly falling off things. It's ridiculous how slippy it is. He still refuses to get a case for it though.

    Sorry to hear you've had a hard day and a nasty email. Do you feel confident to self-manage? I can see from your signature that you've been repaying for a few years so the system must be well established.

    Enjoy your days off. :)
