keep your phone with you!!
« on: February 13, 2006, 05:58:11 PM »
Ack!! OK, chances are, I won't go early, but you never know what might happen, right? I have had so many problems lately with DH keeping his mobile near him/charged up/ credit on it, etc. He is doing my head in!!  ::) ::)

Most people are welded to their phones. He loses his at least once a week!! Obviously I'm going to need some contact numbers for him at Uni should I not be able to get him on the mobile when I REALLY need to but this is SO annoying.

But I'm hormonal and I'm the one who will be in labour so I'm allowed to get a little ars*y about this aren't I? ;D
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ~ John Lennon

Maybe you should plant another one on him just in case :P

Does he have a secretary at work?  Perhaps buying him another charger and getting another person at work on board (to remind him to charge it or to ask him if he has it) might help too...

Could be worse... he could be like mine.  He has his phone permanently attached, but he never answers it.  He's hyper-sensitive about answering phones while in meetings, and he spends a good 3/4 of his day in meetings.  Ugh.

After finally freaking him out with a worst-case scenario (broken limbs... car crash... etc) we've worked out a compromise.  One of his co-workers isn't quite as meeting heavy as he is, so if I can't get through to my husband I'm to call the co-worker.  He will then search out DH and get him to get in touch with me.  It's an annoying system, but it's the only way we can get it to work.

Yikes!  I didn't realise I was in labour w/Roisin until very close to delivery.  I thought I was just having strong Braxton-Hicks contractions.  Got to hospital at 9cm dilated!

He's got time to get in the habit!

The hospital where I delivered Ellen in the US had "Daddy pagers" for rent.  We rented one for the last few weeks, as we didn't have a cell phone.  Don't know what we're going to do this time, as we don't have a phone here either!  We are seriously the only people I know who don't have a cell phone....  :P

Buy a pay as you go mobile.  Get some brick for cheap in a pawn shop, or Tesco or ASDA (they're about £30 odds), then just get a top up card.
