    Crisis averted, I spent the entire late arvo and evening sans phone thinking I’d left it in various places, got home just as Marge hit and still couldn’t find it, major panic thinking I’d need to retrace so many locations in the dark and rain - thankfully I could whatsapp someone on my desktop to call it and found the damn thing sitting on the top of the loo. Honestly!

    I’ve done a shit tonne today including sneaking into the office to use the dishwasher for the collection of takeaway boxes I’ve accumulated in the last 4 weeks and doing 2.5 hrs of work while it dried; I’m so tired now and need to put new sheets on but God, if this evening wasn’t a message from the universe to stop procrastinating and set up the new phone already… urgh!! Shops, sheets, dinner, phone, sleep. I got this.

    BTW it says 13C outside, still feels like a stuffy 23C in my unit despite windows open all day, goddamn this stupid heat box.

      If your phone is advanced enough for voice activation you can call out to it and ask where it is.

      Or if you’ve got a smartwatch many of them have the ability to electronically ping the phone from the watch.

        I tried asking my phone where it is just to see what would happen, and it started talking about the history of my suburb and then said it’s the only phone linked to my account

            I guess the history of my suburb is a lot more words than that, so probably more helpful. But I’d probably expect it to play the lost phone chime like it does if you log into find my phone and click play sound

      Yup. Love that uninsulated apartment living 🙄

      Very glad you found your phone! I lose mine at least 3 times a day lol; it’s black and so is a lot of my furniture, so it camoflages well 😅

        Ugh and is yours carpeted as well? Haven’t lived in an almost fully carpeted joint for ages and it’s driving me mad.

        My new phone cover is bright red precisely to reduce the likelihood of this happening. My new phone that I have still yet to set up… and might not get done tonight as I’m only just having diner and frankly need the energy for work.
