It's really strange reading about this sort of thing from a parent's point of view, I've always been the kid that manipulated (and still sometimes do!) her parents.

At least it's nice to see you take it all in stride!<BR/><BR/>I know phone plans are different in the UK, but I don't understand this...if the voicemail answers the call you're charged for it? Or is it that she left the landline off the hook for several hours? I'd still assume the vm system would hang up...?<BR/><BR/>I hope for your sake you're not charged for 10 hours of talk time, but I'd be surprised and would probably try to take it up w/ the phone company...Ian Selvarajahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145922677723726634noreply@blogger.com
