I got so sick of my phone ringing, I switched it off and mailed it to myself

[Itsinthebox]

How long do you think it will take to arrive? Genuinely had had enough today. I was sat waiting on the school run parked outside the post office and it was ringing and singing and beeping and it struck me I could just buy an envelope and post it to myself and have a lovely few days where I wouldn’t be lying if I said id lost it. So I did it. Weirdly not regretting it yet.

Good luck expecting Royal Mail to take much care of it! They'll probably lose it

So funny!

Although I hope you managed to upload all photos you had taken on your phone to the cloud before you posted it in case it doesn't make it back.

Ita going to get stolen I bet!

I don't understand what this has achieved?
since posting it, you've started a thread on mumsnet and also opened three messages in messenger.

so doesn't that kind of defeat the object?

So many boring people in this trying to kill a lighthearted thread. Go away!

OP was happy to post her phone and it has brightened up a dreary day.

Awesome idea... we will obviously need to know when it turns up though

At least this demonstrates why simply turning it off would not have worked for OP!

I think you need to find a Screen Addicts Anonymous group for support, OP.

Op your should have taken the sim card out and posted that.

This needs to be moved to classics!

And some posts need deleting for not being in the spirit of the thread !

A BOOP point to you OP, you've given me a massive laugh. I hope you get your phone back in one piece.

@BreakfastAtSquiffanys so did I!! 😆

This is excellent. I'm enthralled.

This has made my day. I'm making a list of all the irritants I could post to myself in order to enjoy a couple of days' peace, now... Has it gone first class or second, OP?

The children's father, who is not v technical, recently got a new phone and I recently discovered that my phone is a slightly older version of Android which is not compatible with Wisepay, ParentCall or TeamView. So now he just had to tell me if any of the 50 odd emails and texts a day acriss 4 kids are important enough to require my attention. So far, only 1 has been. Shame!

I LOVE this!

OP you ledge!!

It’s bloody back. It’s back

Less than 24 hrs!

I’m not sure if it went through the normal post or if the village postie pulled it out and just dropped it in this morning. There’s no post stamp just a big black marker across the stamps?

Anyone in Australia happy to have me post it to them and then bounce it back

The sheer palpable joy of saying “no sorry I’ve lost my phone” all day

It’s not smashed either!

How many stamps do you think I'd need to mail a 3 year old?

The 3 yr old would be back the next bloody day . Thought Royal Mail were supposed to be shit except when you want them to be!

I don't know about batteries but I am confident you are not allowed to send children through the post. Sorry. :(

Oh this is fantastic. This has really made me giggle.
op maybe post it again, but piece by piece? Sim card, case, phone...

You could put it in the freezer for a couple of days

redshoe pretty sure you can't put a three year old in the freezer for a couple of days...

Definitely not! ... He'd eat all the ice cream.

This is the best thing I’ve ever seen 😂😂😂
