Fuck I have lost my phone

Phones gone 😭

Or pretty sure it is. Still in some denial.

Left it last night at Aldi self service and find my phone is showing that as the last location.

Can’t believe I have gone from 7pm to this morning without realising I don’t have it. Swear I saw it last night and nearly went back to put it on charge but remember thinking it will be there tomorrow. It’s not there. And find my iPhone says it was never there. Unless it ran out of battery exactly at checkout which I find hard to believe.

Equally find it hard to believe I didn’t notice I didn’t have it when I got out the car. Very confused but at this point accepting it’s gone.

After flapping round half the morning because it’s disorientating not having it. Try to order a replacement sim. Sends a notification to my lost phone.

Try to order a phone. Can’t log in without notifying my phone.

Cant ring anyone to do this offline.

Lord give me strength!!!

In the fridge or a carrier bag

In your shopping bag?

TulipsMakeMeHappy · 24/06/2026 20:15

Down the side of the car seat?

Hope you've kept the receipt for the new one 😂

Goingncforthisone · 24/06/2026 20:16

Behind a radiator (ask me why I say this)

In a shoe! My dc put my phone in a boot years ago. I knew I hadn't left the house that day. I hunted everywhere. Got a new phone, and found the phone 2 weeks later

I vote for this!

PeapodBurgundy · 24/06/2026 20:23

On charge somewhere in a really obvious place that your brain didn't register because you were frantic and partially convinced it was in Aldi?

MabelAnderson · 24/06/2026 20:29

In the fridge ?

physicsatcambridge · 24/06/2026 20:29

At least you'll have a spare when your toddler drops it down the loo!

Ahhhhhhahshs · 24/06/2026 20:30

Good ones but no ones got it yet 🤣

My normal mantra is "check the dressing gown pockets". However it has been so hot I can't believe you have been wearing one. (Unless you aren't in the 90% of the UK or Europe having a heatwave.)

JANFEBMAR23 · 24/06/2026 20:58

In your trouser pocket.

WonderfulSmith · 24/06/2026 21:31

Bottom of the Aldi shopping bag.

In your hand all along, in the same way people lose their glasses on their head

Do you have banking apps on your phone, and have cards stored for Apple or google pay? If so you should phone your bank to tell them what’s happened cancel your cards.

If it’s Apple it shuts dish your card but they don’t work without Face ID or passcode anyway, same with my banking app.

In the bin that is your handbag (or is that just me?)

MrsClattenburg · 24/06/2026 21:45

I lost my phone the other week - it was in the pub, on the bar, full view of all and sundry 😬

Got it back - however, how do you transfer all your contacts to a new phone if you lose your old one and never see it again?

BeRoseSloth · 24/06/2026 21:48

In an opened box of chocolates. That’s where my watch was at least!!

SkinnyLatteExtraHotPlease · 24/06/2026 22:38

I'm invested! Glad you found it ...
In the freezer?
Downstairs loo? (I always need the loo when I get home 😂)

DiaryDiaryOnTheWall · 24/06/2026 22:43

On the bathroom shelf
