sleuthing for beginners

[noaddedsugar]

How do you withold your phone number. basic, I know, but I've never done this before!

141 then dial the number

dial 141 before the number I think

Are you sure? Would hate be be caught out

yep, I'm sure

who are you calling ?

(if you are worried, try it on your mobile first say from landline to mobile for example...it does work)

yes, 141 plus the number.

Be careful though - it's possible to bar witheld numbers and if you try to dial the number again you can't - i caught someone out doing that and it was embarrassing for the caller

it doesn't work FROM a mobile- 141 is a BT thingy- so you can't dial it into a mobile- does anyone know how to withhold a number on a mobile?

works from my mobile (and I'm not on a bt network)

have an alternative sim card just for the dodgey stuff

what sleuthing are you all doing

I'm going to look up my spy handbook from when I was 8 and come up with great advice

Oops, tried calling my mobile from the landline, forgot to put mobile on silent and woke up dd! Anyway, she's gone back down now (and was calling xp, just to make sure the bastard is at home and not out out enjoying himself )

Although, I suppose he could be at home enjoying himself

why is he not meant to be enjoying himself?

what you need to do,is enjoy yourself so much you dont give a flying f**k what xp is doing

Well, I don't give a flying f**k generally, and dd and I have been loving every minute of being in our new house and not with him and his ds, but whenever I see him, even though I don't get that stomach churny thing going on, there's still 'something'. And he's been making overtures, texts several times a night, finding reasons to come round on non-access days, and even though I NEVER want to go back where we were, I'm still not far ahead enough of the game to completely give up...

you will get there in the end

so,did you phone in the end?

He's your X P. Whatever he's doing is no longer your business. Find something else to do.

Divastrop, yep I called and he was in (didn't talk to him obv, hence needing to start this thread). Haven't had any texts from him tonight, so maybe he was 'entertaining' (bleuurgh). Or maybe he's expecting me to text as he bought round dinner tonight. Oh well, fuck him. Madamez, you speak the truth, but you need to get some manners.

I think you need a reality check- either you want him back, or you don't. If he is your X, then it's none of your business what he is doing now- and if you want him back, talk to him- don't play silly buggers with the phones.
