    WEll its still drying out but I hold out little hope.

    Men being what they are. (DH and DS) kept trying to put it together when they came home despite me telling them what I have read on here and to LEAVE IT! :rolleyes: men eh?

    Ah well time will tell. Will have to take a look at insurance today and see if we are covered.

    Well........Im amazed............DH took the thing to bits.......put it back together again.......still didn't work and took it back to Tesco.

    Obviously he didn't tell them it had been dropped down the loo....just said it wouldnt work.

    "No probs" said the young girl "Just get a new one off the shelf"

    Im amazed and keep expecting a telephone call or a letter as you have to fill a form out with your name and address.

    Daughter over the moon and a lesson well learnt!!

    :eek: My daughter has just last week paid £90 for a new mobile and has just accidentally dropped it down the loo. She is blasting it this minute with hairdryer. Its not working......... any ideas?

    Am I the only person wondering why she had a mobile with her while she was dropping mates off at the pool? :confused:

    Any advice that you receive from me is worth exactly what you paid for it. Not a penny more or a penny less.

    most people who deal with returns at shop will take the easiest solution... after all they alot of them are just part-time so wont really care what the reason was just 'add it to the list'.

    I used to work at B+Q and they just threw away alot of the returns that were brought to us etc.

    I work on site, and when going to "wash my hands", you hear all sorts of conversations coming from the cubicles.

    Conversations range across, arguing with the OH, discussions with their boss or whats for supper.
