Mum's new mob.

well we came back from camping at Douglas River. I don't think I actually told you that I went camping...oh well you know now.

It was pretty fun, swimming in the water hole, (murky green stuff floats in it and their is an eel living in there, recently, meaning the first time ever, a snake was spotted by my cousin in the water, havoc broke out, as you can guess) the mouth, (the run off from the water hole that flows down into the beach. wasn't flowing into the beach this year, so the smell was eye-watering. also there were apparantly miniture jellyfish in the mouth, my cousin (who discovered the snake) was the only one who got bitten a number of times, not saying their aren't any jellyfish but i think its a reaction to the salty water, she has extremly sencitive skin, so it makes more sense than the jellyfish theory. how can jellyfish get into the mouth when it hasn't had any beach contact since two months before.) and boogey-boarding in the waves. (the only fault i can think about is that i accidentally left my boogey-board in the back of the car and my sister drove it home so i didn't have a boogey-board.)

anyway, your probably wondering how any of this stuff has to do with my mum getting a new mobile.
My 16year old sister just got her L's and has been keen to do some practise driving. so the dirt roads and emty paddoks at Douglas is perfect for her. my other sister (who is fully lisenced) volenteered to take her for a practice drive. as there is no powered sites you have to charge your phone in the car. mum's phone was flat so she told My sisters to take it in the car and charge it.
a few minutes passed and they reached the gate entering the paddock, (contains sheep so thats why theres a gate) and the fully lisenced sister got out to open the gate. she seemed to have forgotten that mums charging phone was in her lap.

she got out of the car.

so did mum's phone.

it landed face down on the rocky-road and to top it off underneith the car wheel.

when she drove through she ran it over.

the screen smashed. they took it back to mum, looking sheepish. she looked at it then threw it across the campsite (this is an expenxive phone by the way) thinking it was completely busted. my eldest sister retrieved it then explained to mum it still worked.

well 2days after that mum's phone totally konked out.

big time.

so when we got home dad bought her another one.
'A simple, easy to use phone with extra loud ringtones and large buttons.'
thats what it said on the box.

yeah, it's got big buttons. and loud ringtones.

but for mum, not so easy to use.

when you try to explain how it works her ears go all red...and she looks like she will either throw the damned phone out the window or rip it out of your hands and shove it down your throat.

and thats mum's new mob.

see ya love Alleroo and the rat. xoxoxoxoxox
