Multi tasking or idiocy?

I have to make a public admission of the failure of my "multi tasking skills".
This failure is bound to have some impact on my ability to communicate from Africa.
Last night Jelly called for our weekly catch up, I happened to be running a bath at the time [as I was covered in the garden again!]. This was all fine as my bath takes ages to run.
At some point in our wildly interesting conversation [this point is key!], I decided that I should undress and get into the bath while still chatting.
I managed to wiggle myself one handedly from my filthy jeans, and less filthy underwear. As this had been such a success, I decided to peel off my tee-shirt while still listening to Jell.
A step too far!
My new iphone [only one month old, and I was just getting used to it] was jettisoned into the deep hot bath. At this stage my tee-shirt was wrapped around my head, and so I dived into the bath and fished around for my phone, eventually I found it. Big arrived as a result of all the commotion..I`m sure the sight of me duck diving into the very bubbly bath was not a pretty sight!
After a great deal of shaking and the use of a hair dryer the iphone simply refuses to engage in any way with me again...Oh woe is me, why was I so stupid?
After a short while Jessie called on my English number and asked what on earth had happened..she had heard a screech from me, followed by a loud "PLOP" and then the line went dead.
