He said he's seeing someone new

[Ophelia]

MIL was here just before. She stopped by to pick up some cheesecake (and for a quick chat). I told her how I'd made it at 2am with the electric beaters and the splattering and she laughed and said I was a madwoman. Gonna have her and FIL over for a proper visit one day soon.

The only time I brought up the subject of H was to ask if he's booked the stuff for his trip to Africa yet. She didn't seem to know if he had or not. I just said that I assumed he'd have to book it soon if he wants to get the right date before his b'day for his Kilimanjaro climb.

In other news, I just realised that that letter from the phone company, which I had assumed was H's mobile bill, so I didn't open it, was actually the home phone bill. I discovered this when I got a txt from my dad saying that he'd tried calling the home phone and just got an engaged signal. So I tried calling out and got an engaged signal. So then I went and opened that envelope from the phone company and saw that the bill was due on the 21st!

I try to do the right thing by avoiding the temptation to snoop at what I thought was H's mobile bill, and my payment for that is a home phone which may have very well been disconnected.

The bill has now been paid, so I'll wait a couple days and see if the phone comes back on before I try calling them to find out if I need to pay a reconnection fee or something. You'd think they'd send you some sort of notice, or actually call you before they cut off your phone though, wouldn't you? I hope they didn't call H's mobile about it. I assume they'd have his number on record, and the bill was still in his name and everything. I hadn't bothered getting it changed because it seemed like such a hassle to go through the whole process just to get a different name on the top of the bill. But if I have been disconnected, then I will have to go through all of that. Unless I don't bother with a landline and just rely on my mobile as my phone instead. It's not like I really use the landline much anyway.

Anyway, the reason dad had been trying to call me was because my punching bag b'day present had just been delivered to their place and he wanted to let me know. Wish I had it here now to let out some of the frustration over the phone bill drama.
