Were you dropping the kids off at the pool AND talking on your phone at the same time when this happened?

I can't do both at the same time, the former takes way too much concentration!  :laugh:

EDIT: My wife says "things happen in 3's so be prepared!" (She's a barrel of laughs today)

Unique style for sure.

Yeah I am none too happy. It's been in rice, but I have a feeling it's completely shot. It's on the radiator now. Such a bad week... I know it's just a thing, but it's an expensive thing that I just finished paying for and I am usually so careful with my stuff.

Bowl of rice in the fridge overnight... and/or oven at low heat..50 degrees or so for half an hour.

The phone lives! Just has some condensation on the glass in front of the front camera. Magic. Happier than I really should be considering it is just an inanimate object. But there we go. Haha. I suppose I am very lucky!

Only a material object, all can be replaced.

May be an extreme example, but all my worries have been put into perspective over the last two weeks, sadly a friend, only 30 years old, died suddenly on my birthday after being diagnosed with Epilepsy a week earlier.

So any day i feel abit crap, im just going to think, atleast im breathing and have another day ahead of me.  :happy2:

I sympathise. Mrs DD was diagnosed with Stage 3 Cancer in September last year, she had to have two operations in December and has been undergoing daily radiotherapy and 2 weekly Chemo treatment since. A college friend of mine passed away a couple of weeks ago after loosing her battle with throat Cancer. It came as a shock as she had never smoked and was possibly the fittest of my friends  :sad1:

On a plus point Mrs DD is on the road to recovery, the consultants are impressed with her progress and her condition is to be assessed in two weeks time.

Keeping it on track. Whilst i appreciate the iPhone is not to everybody's taste (bloody Android fan boys  :grin: ) if like me, you try and to keep your apple kit in top condition loosing £500+ of phone due to water damage would be a massive PITA!
