SIDR: are you busy??
I’m not picking up. I’m not looking up. There are hundreds of apartments on either side of the bedroom window where I’m happily eating my Maggie Mee (curry flavor forever!) and surfing Shopbop.com (20% off til midnight Monday!). SIDR COULD BE ANYONE WATCHING ME RIGHT NOW!!! She must be SO FREAKING ANGRY WITH ME!!
Omg. Omg. OM FREAKING G I SAID I WAS A MUMMY BLOGGER!
SHE KNOWS I HAVE A CHILD!!!
“GGRRROOOOooooooo….”
Kings is still ASLEEP behind me with all this going on?
HOW CAN HE SLEEP AT A TIME LIKE THIS???
I need to burn my webcam. We need to burn all webcams. We need to do away with chats, and laptops, and possibly the internet.
Oh wait my iPhone 4 arrived on our doorstep at 8.30pm 2 days ago. Ok fine, we can keep the iPhones. Oh heck, what’s the point of an iPhone with no internet. Fine, internet can stay in this world.
Oh I just got a text message. Could she have got my phone number?
“HSBC estatement now available online”
What’s the point of no chat if you have text?
Oh, alright fine, they can all stay.
But they’re all on probation. These things are EVIL.
I… have to go walk my dog now.
