PHONE ME

So another player signs a new five year, forty grand a week, contract. And which glamorous club is it? yes you guessed it...Notts County. And which player is it? yes well guessed again..ex England and Arsenal captain Sol Campbell. If you are a Notts County fan I think it's fair to say you are in for a bit of a ride. How long it lasts, and how far it goes, is another story!.
Back to reality, and after returning from training I decided that our recent tour of Devon and Cornwall had to stop - for monetary reasons and weather predictions!. Instead, whilst Cam ( my boy ) was out at a friends and Fiona ( my wife ) was posting things to Croatia ( e-bay! ) I took the girls to the park. Hatty rode her bike believing that she could ride up kerbs with no problem and that roads were friendly places to be, Issy and I rescued her in turn. Once at the park we witnessed a sight that would be funny if it wasn't a bit of a worry. A girl of about six, kitted out in pink clothes, hat, and bike, was riding towards us, wobbling all over. Normal, you may be thinking, but no, the little girl was wobbling all over because she was texting on her phone!!!!. Then she actually made a phone call!!.
I wondered what she might be saying, maybe it was "Hi Britney, I'm at the park, I'm just about to try the roundabout" or "Hey Taylor shall we do lunch, bring your High School Musical pack up and I'll save us a bench" or maybe she was texting 'HI HOW R U? DID U SEE FI FI AND THE FLOWERTOTS THIS MORNING, IT WAS MENTAL!
Not satisfied with the one handed bike riding though, she then attempted one handed swinging, one handed climbing, and one handed roundabouting ( not a word I know! ). All this whilst still having a conversation!.
It only came to an end when she got stuck on the see-saw!, the poor little lamb was shouting for her mum to get her off. But her mum couldn't do it could she, of course not, she was texting away herself !!!!!!!!!. Maybe she was texting 'IM AT THE PARK, YOUR TEA IS ON THE SIDE BUT THE DOG ATE MOST OF YOUR POTATOES, AND I CANT BELIEVE YOU GOT OUR PRINCESS THAT PHONE, SHE IS TEXTING HER HEAD OFF' !!.
By this time we had done the zip wire ten times and the assault course ( albeit in a slower time than normal as we were all swan necking pink mobile mum and pink mobile daughter who at no point looked up from their respective 'walkie talkie's' ).
At the weekend I am being abandoned as Fiona and the grandparents go away for a weeks break, I have therefore been stockpiling dairy milk, red wine, prison break DVDs and will, for the next 48 hours be doing household chores on an epic scale!
