Stupidest thing I've done for a while.....

Just accidentally washed my mobile phone (left in jeans pocket).... don't worry, I tumble dried it as well.... (didn't realise until later).
Net result: my tumble drier can remove the back, battery and SIM card from my phone... when re-assembled it still works!!! (although the screen light doesn't and it smells faintly of fabric softner). am off to buy a new one (at least I have a good excuse now)

senility is a terrible thing....
....or in the words of a great scientific quote "The subtle irony of neurotoxins like acrylamide is that you're the last one to realise you should have worn gloves."
