I have just got back from my dads after having tea with him and my other dd today, he doesn't live far away (about 5 miles).
I have realised I have left my mobile on his table, complete with bank cards( as I leave them inside my phone case)
I threw my landline out 12 months ago(sick of listening to the crackling) Bought a really cheap emergency phone to leave in house.
Just come to use it and my credit has run out(not sure why as I never used it after topping up)
Needed to let my dd know I was home safe and sound, plus other dd, also my dad so he wouldn't be wondering what the pinging was.
Gosh I had to think. so manage to email dd and explain, luckily her phone pings when she has an email.
But just goes to show with no landline phone (guess what I am buying tomorrow)???
I do have everyones phone numbers in a book though. I could have driven back to collect it but my dad would be settling down for the night and I didn't want to disturb him.
Lack of public toilets in towns.
