yeah....."magic"
Princess Peach Ill contact you, im faily normal and no one contacts me on my phone too , we can not be contacted together

i would be completely lost without my phone.. its like an extension of my arm lolh...

My phone broke a while back and I was left without a phone for 24 hours, which ended up being the worst 24 hours of my life.

I had to meet people in town in the morning, but had no way of contacting them, so I had to wait in the cold for them just in case I missed them. I left in my car to get a replacement phone from my friend who ends up not showing up in the arranged place because he took it down wrong.

Then coming back from the meeting place, my car breaks down. I am about 10 miles away from civilisation so I start walking towards the nearest pay phone, finally find one on the side of the street only to find out its broken. I have to walk another 5 miles to find the next one. This one works, but guess what I only have enough money for one call.

I decided the best plan is to ring my mum, ring ring, straight to voice mail, money in phone gone.

Finally find a nice person who lets me call someone, then get the tow truck to bring me back to my house. Where I have a million emails from work telling my there is some urgent work to do and they have been trying to contact me all day. course when I tell them my phone is broken the think its like a "dog ate my homework" excuse. End up having to cancel my night out to do the work, I could have done had I received the email earlier.

all in all, a really really **** day.

Man, that really was a **** day!
I'd a similar experience the one time I forgot my phone at home and never realised until I got to work. Headed home from my late shift with just my uniform and cardi on, driving along merrily with the heating on, so was cosy as toast. Hit a massive pothole and totally fecked my tyre. Limped along till I found a place I could pull in, took a deep breath (as it was January last year and bloody freezing) and headed out to get the spare wheel. Got wheel out eventually, as was working in the dark, torch in boot was dead! Took a further 15mins before I could figure out how to get the jack out
Put jack in place and after much cursing and jumping on wheel brace got the nuts loose but just couldn't get wheel off.
Was frozen with the cold at this point so sat in car wondering how long would it take husband to realise I wasn't home and come looking for me! As he's usually on the couch asleep (bless him ) I wasn't holding out much hope!! After what felt like an eternity, as it's a really quiet country road, a lovely guy stopped to help. Turns out I'd the jack on upside down, oops!
10 mins later and I'm on my way again. All I could think of at this point was getting to centra before it closed for a bottle of wine (purely medicinal of course!).
Got there with 5 mins to spare and galloped in to the wine section. Standing in the queue I was aware of getting really strange looks as my white uniform was now fairly black, my hands were totally black and it was only when I got home and looked in the mirror I realised my face was also fairly grease stained. I looked must have looked quite the professional nurse plus I was clutching my bottle of wine for dear life
Anyhow, to cut a long story short! Myself and my phone have never been parted since. It's on 24hrs a day, as it's my alarm clock, and i have to admit when I move rooms at home it comes with me.
Couldn't imagine life without it!

Do you get anxious and tetchy if it runs out of battery or if you leave it at home?

No

Yep, in fact I'd rather I didn't have a mobile just because it's more hassle than anything a lot of the time. I don't like being so easily contacted if I'm having a day off or trying to work on assignments. Usually I leave my phone in another room or just turn it off.

I couldn't be bothered with my phone really and you will also find that most parents with young babies suddenly do not care about protecting their phones "oh you want to suck on my phone to stop your crying, no problem, don't worry about the water damage":)

i'm hardly ever with my phone. hate it with a passion.

Without me my phone is nothing!
