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.
