Something funny happened today.

I didn't go shopping today, simply because I didn't want to and we didn't need much. But something funny happened today. It's made me laugh and go duh all at the same time!
On Monday I texted the Wynne Evans show and said:- I'm sorry you're out of Strictly Wynne. I was only watching for you. From Sharon in Lichfield, Staffordshire. He didn't read it out, but I wasn't expecting him to. He did say, I've had some wonderful messages today. You've been so kind to me. I'm sorry if I didn't read yours out, but there's been hundreds. I've read them all. Thank you very much.
On Tuesday he was asking Where did you meet your best friend? So I texted and said, I met my best friend Yasmin at Church. I can't remember our first meeting, but even though she doesn't come to my Church any more, we've been friends ever since. From Sharon in Lichfield, Staffordshire. I sent the text and then thought nothing of it.
I didn't text for the rest of the week. But today he was asking, What are you doing on the weekend? So I thought I'd text and tell him I was going to be making some Christmas cards and I might even make him one. But before I got chance to send the text, I got a text to say I'd got a voice mail from Tuesday and to phone 121 to listen to it. So I did and it said, This is soandso from the Wynne Evans show. Just to say thank you for your text this morning, and if you would like to talk to Wynne about your best friend please phone 03700 100 110!
So I wrote a text and this is what I put:-
Hi Wynne. I could have talked to you on Tuesday but I've only just got the message! I'm going to be making some Christmas cards on the weekend. I might even make you one. From Sharon in Lichfield in Staffordshire. And I sent that text.
I decided I'd leave the phone on incase anyone wanted to get in touch. I took it into the living room and then I went to make myself some fakin' bacon for my breakfast. While I was doing it I heard this tinkling sound. I thought it was on the TV, but when I went into the living room I saw I had a missed call! I tried to phone it back but it said unknown number. So I'm guessing it was them again. Who else would be phoning me?
Anyway, what are you lot getting up to today? And what are you getting up to on the weekend?
I hope you are all well.
Have a nice day.

It was very funny! I couldn't help laughing! It's a shame I missed the call, but at least now I know what my ring tone sounds like!

@sharonelton What you never heard the ring tone of your phone before?? You should keep trying to get that call again and attend it!

@anya12adwi Because no-one's ever phoned me before! Not while I've had the phone on anyway!

@rakski Well, yes, that's true, it is. Did you see my post where I said he read out my text on Friday? He called me Shazza!

Sounds like you were having a thrilling time with all that messaging back and forth, It is cold here staying in, putting on the heater, and just working on my PC, I hope you have a good weekend,

Yes, it was a lot of fun!
It's blooming perishing here! It's like a freezer in my bedroom because the wall underneath my window isn't made of brick. I think it's made out of that stuff they make windows from these days, that plastic stuff, with a piece of plasterboard on the inside and that's about it! My heater's in the living room, but even if it was in my bedroom I couldn't really use it 'cos it would be too close to stuff!
Thank you very much. I hope to.
You have a good weekend too.

They won't call back about that now anyway. But maybe they will when I send another text? Or not. It doesn't really matter. I'm sure they have lots of people trying to get in touch.

That sounds neat, and I guess they are a friendly lot at the Wynne Evans show. Today I am going to stay in. It is cold and a bit windy.
