The Husband and I have been using our new mobile phones for a few weeks now.
I have to admit I was a tad scared of mine to begin with.
2 reasons for this;
-
every thing's in the wrong place! By that I mean, the space bar is different when texting, I can't seem to make it go to predictive text, taking photo's is a whole new ball game and even making a call needed my full concentration
-
The Husband had given me strict and stern instructions for use. No dropping, no leaving for puppies to attack, no scratch marks and no leaving in taxi's.
Can you see why I was a little nervous? Yes I looked like an octogenarian with bad eye sight using the phone for the first few weeks, every click of a button waiting for it to blow up or call someone I didn't want to, text messages were very short and without humour – no clever use of exclamation marks (I still can't find those!)
Then there were The Husbands rules...
He can't be blamed – I have done all of the things he mentioned – on more than one occasion each time! I'm known for losing things, dropping things and not really remembering where I put things. The only clue I sometimes have, is that I can call my own phone when I lose it and follow it around the house until it gets louder, I've even had The Husband following the phone ring tone underneath the seats of the car in the pitch black before now!
You see the Husband is notoriously careful with his things. You'll never find anything he owns, scratched, left lying around, put in the wrong place, dropped or lost, so you might therefore imagine my glee when we had this conversation just a few days ago;
Husband: Slight problem with my phone
Wife: Go on
Husband: Dropped it in the loo last night
Wife: (smirking) You were twittering on the loo weren't you
Husband: Yep
Wife: Ok so it's broken right?
Husband: It's in the airing cupboard drying out...fingers crossed
Wife: Hope you wiped it first!
Oh, I can dine out of this one for MONTHS! (ok YEARS!).
For the concerned, said phone is now dry and in full working order, water marks disappearing more every day. Lucky Husband, lucky Husband!
