you guessed it - i’ve managed to lose yet another phone and i’m really not proud of myself. you see normally when that happens, i’m annoyed with myself and even upset but i know that it can be rectified without any impact on anyone else - this time though it was a work phone
we were staying at a hotel in london and i was packing ready to come home. as always i was running late and did my normal trick of flinging things into my case rather than tidily packing as i would have done on the way there. it was at this point that i had what i thought was a clever idea. i would make a pile of important items that i must remember to pack and that are accessible.

when i finished packing and checked out, i was completely oblivious that i had forgotten the one pile of items that i COULDN’T forget - i know, i’m smart, there’s not many people like me! having left my cases with the hotel for collection later that evening, when i was to return they told me that i had left some clothes in my room. when i persisted that i was sure i hadn’t, they gave me the key to go and check and when i did, there was evidence that a boy was now “in the house” as it were. Clothes were strewn everywhere and it no longer smelled of roses.

the next day when i realised that i didn’t have the phone, i called the hotel but there was no sign - so i’m assuming the smelly boy pocketed it! grr! all that i can say is that it’s a good job my employers are understanding - i think they’ve come to expect stuff like that from me by now! so, the question is, does anyone have any mitten like string that i can attach the new one to myself with?

 p.s. as posts about my phones are becoming a common theme, i’ve started a category purely based on phone stories!
