MIl has been on the phone
"I sent a text to your son and got an obsence one back" she says.
" don't think so" says I
"I did I am not amused"
Firstly, Simon doesn't do obscene, he isn't that type of child.
Secondly, he has no credit on his phone and wouldn't think of going out and putting credit on it - afterall that would mean having to pay for it himself, so much easier to get mum to do it when she remembers online (that reminds me must put credit on phone)
Just checked his phone. All his texts for the last couple of months are on there, not one from his nan, and none sent to her from his phone. However, there is a message on there from someone who has just left a number about gear that needs to be picked up. Simon, when questioned, said it came through the other day and has no idea what they are on about so ignored it!
Talking to MIL further, she says she got an obsence text from Nig as well (her son). At this point I laugh. It takes Nigel Half and hour to text yes or no on his phone, he has no idea about texting and really isn't bothered about finding out. Just checked Nigs phone no text message from his mum stored on there either, yet she is adamant that she sent him one at the same time as she sent Simon one and claims they both sent her this obscene message back. I can only assume she sent the texts to the wrong number in the first place.
"WHat is your email address?" she asks.
I tell her
"I sent an email to that address" she says "but it was returned. Is it important to put the . inbtween your names?"

She can't help it really.
Then she says she tried to download something and now she can't find it and her computer is doing funny things.
"Have you updated your antivirus?" I say, "AVG has a new one out"
"No" she says "I don't know what to do"
Of course, following instructions is not what she is known for.
So Friday, my day off will be spent sorting out all the so called problems she has with her computer and making sure that she sends texts correctly.
oh joy!
