I have to carry mine for work, plus I've given up wearing a watch as so much stuff shows the time so I need it for that......as the old saying goes, a man with one watch knows the time, a man with two watches isn't sure.

But yes, I have trekked back home to get it from the railway station before, fortunately only quarter of a mile each way

I have to carry 2 at all times! One is a works phone and as I'm on call 24/7 it has to be on. The other is my personal phone and SWMBO will kill me if I don't answer it  ;D

No, if I forget it I can't be arsed. I don't need to be available 24/7. Life's too important to waste with an RF source stuffed next to my few remaining brain cells  ;D ;D ;D

SWMBO has just had hers lifted from her handbag today, along with a front & back door key!  >:( Cancelled it when we realised it was gone, which must've been about 4 hours after it'd gone.  :(

cant do without it, panic if i think i may have missplaced it, have never lost one. Have been known to be half hour late for work after arriving in the car park and then driving home to get it, dreading the thought of i whole day in that muppet show without some sort of distraction, more of a mark of my previous company than any no phone phobia. I do find posting on here via phone much more convenient than any pc tho.

Seems i'm the opposite to most of you. I'm forever leaving phones at home, staying out for a night or two but not fussed, taking them to work but not switching them on etc. sometimes if it rings i don't answer it, well you don't have to do you? just does'nt matter much to me plus i resent the fact you're expected to be at eveyones beck & call 24/7.
   Friends used to moan about my lax attitude to phones but have given up now. I like my time out. 8-)

Always carry mine. It is switched on 24 hours a day and is kept on bedside table at night. Always fear I won't hear the house phone in the night if there is an emergency. I know I am sad! :(

I and my ex-husband had to do that for almost 30 years; sleeping with the thought the phone could ring any time of night for business reasons! ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)   NEVER again will I do that for anyone's business, including my own! :D :D :)

There is more to life than that! ::) ::)

Try to remember it and usually do............but if I forget I don't stress over it.............life still goes on..........It is all just a matter of perspective and in the great scheme of things really not that important. :y :y :y :y

Unless you're a lifeguard or retained firefighter etc. NEVER have a phone in the bedroom. TV, music is fine but to me my bedroom is my bolthole, i don't even take the lappy in there, that's my time.
