My landline phone is broken. The line is fine, the handset just doesn't ring. It's on my long list of things to sort out, but since only one person in the whole world calls it (excluding all the cold callers) I have not got around to sorting it out.
Anyway, I usually call her on my mobile and all is fine, but this week we had a tentative arrangement she said she would confirm with me by calling when she knew what was what. I said if she called my mobile I would call her back. She called and I forgot to call her back.
I've received a note in the post today saying she's not going to call me again due to cost. nb she is retired so not earning but is very comfortable, due no doubt to being careful and I respect that, but don't you think she could have just dropped it. Or she could have reminded me when we were talking.
It's got my goat. I'll send her a cheque to cover the cost of the call and apologise, but really....isn't this a bit OTT?
