I admit was slightly rude to my mother but she had been doing my head in by texting me about twice a day about stupid things - ie "I am going out with my friend Pat today" or "my cleaner is back from holiday". I was a bit moody (early pregnancy and natural tendency to moodiness) and texted her "please don't text/call me unless it is important".
Now,two days after I sent the text I find out indirectly (DH rang her for something) that my old cat is in the vets and probably going to die.
Surely that counts as important?
