Techno Queen

After pressing a few keys and sliding it up and down, trying unsuccessfully to locate the notch for the battery cover, (maybe the sim had slipped?) tapping it, trying to prize it apart, I took my mobile to the Orange Shop.

YCB "Er, I think I've broken my phone?"

OS "What happened?"

YCB "I dropped it"

OS "In water?"

YCB "No, (not this time, that was my old phone)"

OS "So you just dropped it?"

The young sales woman took the phone, looked at it, and looked sadly but gently at me. How I wished now I had taken their insurance!!!! Oh lord, I would have to pay, not just for this broken one, but for a new one! My heart started racing. What would hubby say? Palms start sweating....

"There you go" she said patiently, handing me my phone. "You just had to switch it back on."

Sheepish, dumb- blonde, nappy- brained mummy has left the building!
