Good, for you, SG, I bet it made Brianna's day too

Invest in a calling card. Way cheaper per minute, and not on HM's phone bill. And prepaid so no bills to worry about.

Make sure (assuming you used HM's phone) that you tell him in advance of the bill arriving -if you haven't already- to avoid any potential unpleasantness. If you can give him a little cash in advance, do. Don't just wait until it arrives to deal with it. That's (probably) what helped get you in the mess you're trying to escape.

I'm only saying this because I care, honestly. If I didn't I just wouldn't bother. But hate me if you need to.

I agree with the witch. You owe HM the courtesy of as few surprises as possible.

Good for you and Brianna! I agree, HM will be very appreciative of your forthcomingness - that a word? - whatever. do it anyway - nothing to lose and lots to gain.

My neighbour made me happy a few moments ago.
I was putting out my garbage and took the lift to the ground floor. As I got out my neighbour got in to the lift (to go up) and we exchanged polite greetings. I presume he saw that I was carrying a bag of garbage, and thus deduced that I would be walking to the garbage area by the road and straight back.
Which was what I did, and just as I arrived at the elevator area the elevator arrived back at the ground floor - with no one in it. My neighbour must have taken the elevator up to his floor, and then as he got out, pressed the "1" button to send it back down for me, which on a cold night was extra appreciated.

He's probably not reading this, but thanks, dude.
How super-thoughtful and considerate.

Maybe he sent the lift back down so when he opened his door the hostages wouldn't escape.

Had a letter in the post this morning, I have a tax rebate and I knew I was paying a lot in taxes this year, but went on meekly paying, as you do. Great joy at the amount until saw the crediting account: my mortgage. Can't access it but nevertheless next year I have a cushion, yeh. Merry Christmas y'all.
