    Sounds like a well executed plan! “New phone this week!😊” This was her last Snapchat post with the pool as the background. Just help get it quickly so we don’t break our streak!

    She's a clever girl, so this would even be likely. That's how you become a super villain some time later :-D

      Got out of bed at 06:00, grabbed the laundry baskets, made and drank my :java: Brushed teeth, had a shower, loaded the washing machine. "Odd." I thought. "That felt like there was a lump in that load." About to press "Start" when I thought I'd just check to be on the safe side. And found my phone in the washer ... :-O Don't think that would have helped it much, even with the antivirus liquid I wash Herself's clothes in (Old Folk Homes are breeding grounds for nasties like Norovirus, nearly as bad as Primary schools). Let's try being awake next time, eh Griff?

      What were you thinking? Got out of bed - that was your first mistake! Secondly the secret to a happy life is delegation. Domestic chores not involving tools should be delegated to Herself. (a) She's probably cleverer and more astute than you (women often are, in a quiet way) and thus not likely to launder your phone (not even by accident), and (b) if she does perchance make that mistake you at least have someone else to blame.

        Back in the day I had a not-smart phone that I put through the washer and dryer twice. The first time through lost me all sound, so I had to keep the phone in my pocket to feel it ring. The second time through returned the sound with no additional damage. They don't make things like they used to, but I sure do prefer my Galaxy to that old thing :laugh:

          This why "routine" is so important. When my kids were little, it was hard to follow a routine and thus this sort of thing happened all the time.

            I managed to wash my [Bluetooth headphones](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bluetooth-Headphones-Mpow-Waterproof-Cancelling/dp/B082Y72XRM) a while ago... They stopped working *just* long enough for me to order a replacement pair from Amazon... And have been fine ever since...

            Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

              How else do you expect to launder the BitCoin in your phone?

                Never washed my phone but I have washed a number of USB keys over the years. They all worked after the washing and drying.

                  You know - that message started out by reminding me of the lyrics of a Beatles song. "Woke up. Got out of bed. Dragged a comb across my head. Made my way downstairs and drank a cup, and looking up I noticed I was late. Grabbed my coat, grabbed my had, made the bus in seconds flat." Not sure how it relates to drowned phones though. :-)

                    A friend of my daughter pushed her in her swimming pool last week. Guess who is to buy a new smartphone ?

                    Been there, done that. Happened to my boy on a newish smart phone that was being purchased through contract at the time. He had to suffer going back to the old 2G phone he was using for the next 9 months, until we got him a new one.
