The One Where She Buys A Bag and Cries Herself a River
So yesterday was the first day of my very own Commit to Your Own Life Program. And I took it in to my head that the very first action I needed to take was the purchase of a new
The very idea of losing my phone knocks me sick. In it are the silly, lovely, teary text messages Mum and I shared daily. The photographs I took of her trying sunglasses on in Next looking like a nonplussed film star in a fake fur coat. All that and the rest of my life. Every message Ste and I have ever shared in Couple. My bank accounts and emails. Everything and much, much more.
So a
Despite my online searches, I took myself to T.K.Maxx and found a
I cried. I drove home with the tears dripping. Worrying because I had not backed up my iPhone for an age because brother-in-law Louis had both set up two-step verification and changed my password and I had lost both and clearly I would never again access the inner sanctum of my own life and I would have to buy another phone out of the grocery budget and my Mum in her snazzy fur and mirrored glasses combi was lost to me forever, and Finley aged seven to twelve lived inside the phone too and now he was a hand-shaker-offerer his innocence was lost too and what if someone ran away with the meager amounts slumped in my bank account and why wasn’t the phone charged in the house so I could phone people whose numbers I didn’t have and wasn’t all this just so bloody typical of me??
Readers I had to slap myself to get a grip.
And then I emailed my Dad to report my tragedy and he used his head and checked where my phone was on Find Friends and he said it is in the house or car somewhere and I said don’t. be. so. bloody. ridiculous. It is lost! And as we speak some hoodlum is stripping me of my assets and memories and he said, go and look in the car and I did because I do what I am told and lo and behold, there it was in the passenger door and the drama was over.
The moral of this tale? Back up your phone. Right now.
We have too much to lose these days don’t we?

This is me!
Do you think there is any hope for us Lynn??x
Oh wow, such a close call! Backing up now!
Oh, I’m so glad you found your phone! I back up my photos to my computer at least before each trip we take, largely so I can clear some space. I’m always afraid of my computer crashing, though. I’m going to get a better system – with at least two backups!
You sweet dear one! I hope you did back it up and print out and set on a cloud all those special touches with the past, You are on a delicious path to a lovely future!!!
