So my mobile phone has just gone for a spin through an entire wash cycle in the washing machine! Looked all over the house for it and I heard a few clunks in the machine.
Want to cry but can not help but laugh at myself. It is good to laugh at ourselves right?!
Maybe it is a sign to stop doing housework too?
Anyone else got any funny stories to share?
Oh yes always good to laugh & especially at ourselves.
I had to laugh one day when I hunted high & low for the kettle which wasnāt where it was meant to be. I eventually found it in the fridge. No idea how I fitted it in there without realising I was putting it somewhere it shouldnāt be but it did make me chuckle when I eventually found it.
I also one day when to wash up the coffee cups and put the biscuits away after hubby and I Iād enjoyed a leisurely copper. To find the I put the lovely biscuits in the washing up bowl and the cups back in the cupboard and the lovely biscuits were lovely no more. 
I put my kettle in the fridge a few weeks ago to!
The thought of biscuit loaded washing up water gives me the heebee geebees 
Went out Sunday with the back door key in my pocket, came home, went to unlock the back door, couldnāt find the key anywhere. Went through all my pockets, retraced my steps, looked for the obvious place I could have put it, couldnāt find it. Must have spent over an hour looking for it. Gave up in the end.
Then I was in the kitchen and it was there, on top of the microwave, right next to the back door. I must have looked right at it and not seen it. Drive myself mad sometimes.
Iām gonna guess at how it happened.
You were bringing an arm load of washing down stairs. Stuffed your phone into the bundle so your hand was free to hold the bannister.
Got distracted talking to someone at the bottom and stuffed the bundle into the machine forgetting all about the phone ātil sometime later 
Well, thatās how I did it anyway, two years ago 
Good excuse anyway to get a new up-to-date phone 
Glad Iām not the only one anymore, welcome to the club

I frequently look for my glasses only to eventually realise that they are on my face. I have also looked for my keys and then found them in the front door.
Pretty much.
I put it in the basket right on top of the clothes. Walked straight to the washing machine. Zero distractions I can think of.
Shoved all the contents of the basket into the machine. Switched it on. Two minutes laterā¦ clunkā¦ clunkā¦ clunkā¦ Me hmm I wonder what that is?
Go to find my phone I swear I had it two minutes ago. Get my husband to ring it. Its ringing but always on silent anyway (drives my husband mad!) Second time he rings, straight to voicemail. Then I heard itā¦ clunk and knew what it was
Anyway, my machine is very old and can not pause/ stop the cycle so had to wait it out praying!
It is currently sat drying out in a bowl of rice.
But hey you are right good excuse for a new one
Haha I do that a lot to. I was abit like this I guess before but this is a whole new level and so frustrating sometimes too
I did all that with the rice, in a nice warm airing cupboard too. Sadly none of itā¹ļø

I went out with my first Mrs to visit friends, share a bottle of wine, play a game and watch a video.
Because of the drink we booked a taxi.
After a very good night we returned by taxi.
At the front door and I asked āDid you take a key?ā
Nope neither of us had a key.
Ever resourceful, if a little foolhardy, I shinned up a drain pipe at the back of the house and managed to prize open a sash window enough to climb inside.
Once in I grabbed my keys and went downstairs.
The front door was already open, not having keys, we hadnāt locked it as we left.
Oh dear.
keep on keepin on
All your stories made me chuckle, cause i have done some of them. Have a great day everyone. 
I hope your phone didnāt shrink. My classic senior moment is hobbling out the house, down the street only to realise I still have my slippers on, this then requires hobbling all the way back again to put on some, more practical, footwear.
lol 
This really made me chuckle 
Yesā¦way more times than I can remember. This short term memory is one of the ājoysā of this new life the past nine months. You have to laugh at it.
Best to all and Happy and safe Holidays.

Memory was a nightmare for me,I was walking out my front door and pressing the fob on my car keys to lock the flat up 
and putting the hoover in the bathroom. The other day I opened a bottle of water with the fold over lid,put my mouth on the lid instead of the bottle and poured it all over me. You do have to laugh and Iām just so grateful Iām about 85%to 90% back to normal now,one of the lucky ones 
Merseyside Christmas wishes to you all.
That is rough. I left my keys in the fridge once and spent an hour tearing the house apart looking for them. Hopefully the phone survived the spin cycle, though itās not looking good.
Itās great to hear it is not just me!
Yesterday I completely ruined mine and my daughterās dinner of only chicken stir fry and noodles and then left the hob on with a pan still on for over an hour after with a couple of stray noodles in and didnāt realise until i smelled a burnt chemically smell! I have come to accept now that I just can no longer multitask. I cannot manage more than 1 pan at a time or a hob and the oven 
This is very frustrating especially as this is a big part of my job as a Food Tech teacher and am due to start phased return end of January. Please pray for me!
Tonight however I have managed to not burn anything as I did not make dinner but did manage to make some enormous double chocolate chip cookies and they were absolutely delicious 
Merry Christmas to all

My keys have to live in the door lock or Iād totally lose them. I do however keep losing my earplugs I bought for myself to help with my noise sensitivity and tinnitus.
My phone survived! It lived in a bowl of rice over night and is now managing to charge. I was apprehensive about the rice thing. The sound goes in and out when in the phone but so far I think I have had a little luck this year 
Hope the phased return goes well,Iām up to 3 days a week and couldnāt imagine ever doing that. First week in August I had mine and being an electrician I honestly thought my work days were over. Only fatigue for me now so hopefully with Christmas off I can push for 4 days early in the new year. Wishing you the very best for your return.
That is promising that you are back to 3 and almost 4 days after such a short period of time it really does give you hope to hear othersā experiences.
Wishing you all the best
Natalie
