    get a PAYG mobile and have folk pay their own calls?
    Yeah, that's what I've done - PAYG phone used sparingly, although friends/family also know that they can contact me via work email. Not ideal, but will have to suffice for now.

    oooooh, 7pm..........is it too early for a cider?? :o

    2 hours before OH's sister phones and springs the surprise that his family are coming down tomorrow from the north for a meal for his birthday tomorrow night.........I have no idea how he will react. He will be on defensive overload when he thinks it through as I've never met his Dad, step mum, or his daughter. Not sure how he will take it. If he is really against it, at least I can't get the blame as apparently it's all his Dad's idea.
