ICE your cellphone

[Sundae]

I'm one of the most paranoid people I know re making arrangements in case I have an accident. It comes from having a similarly paranoid Mum, who worked for both Ambulance Control and in the Police Station, which only fed her paranoia!

At home, HM has a comprehensive list of the order in which to call different members of my family if my parents aren't answering. Including my parents' neighbours rather than my sister! Maureen & Vic have known me since I was a baby and would happily tell him where Mum & Dad were if I couldn't, because they help look after the house - my sister would resent the intrusion unless I was actually at death's door.

At work they have a less detailed list as the first rule is to contact HM. But they do have our home number, his mobile AND his work number just in case. And my blood group and the fact I have no allergies that would matter in an emergency. Pollen probably won't be an issue if I'm bleeding out.

Anyway - all that was to say that I didn't ICE my phone. I waited to see if it gthered enough momentum. It hasn't. I'll take my chances with Parents' Home, Home and Work being on my contacts list. I think 99% of people will understand that. That's assuming I'm not out with just my house keys and purse (coin container) of course!
