Ring Ring.

I’m doing up my laces at the gym so I answer it on speakerphone.

“Hello?”

“Hi, it’s me. Look, I know you’re at the gym so I’ll be quick, I’m at the garage, the Jeep we wanted has gone, but there’s another one in stock, almost new, and it’s only £5,000 more. Should I just get it? I know it’s a bit more than our budget, but it’s got all the add-ons and you said you’ve always wanted a nice big 4×4, so whaddya reckon, shall I just buy it anyway?”

“Go for it”

“And I’ve invited my mother to stay for the weekend, that OK?”

“Sure”

“Thanks honey, I love you, I’ll see you back at the house later”

I hang up, smiling, and turn to the others in the changing room at the gym.  They look at me somewhat strangely, so I ask them,

“Anyone know who this phone belongs to?”

This is a lesson for you all. Don’t leave your mobiles unattended, otherwise some spiteful bastard like me will take full advantage.

I hope he enjoys his weekend with the Mother-In-Law.
