Hosea: AT&T just sent me an email that the mobile phone bill is overdue.
Wife: I haven't paid bills this week getting ready for the weekend. [Son 2 has a week-long break from school, all of it with Wife. Also I guess she has other things going on too.] Will pay them all Sunday. My service is so bad I think I should get a 50 percent discount. Hopefully this will be the last full month. [She wants to cancel this plan and get a new one.]
Hosea: Unfortunately it still counts as late despite all that. Don't you keep track of when your bills are due, to avoid this???
Wife: No. I'm still trying to unpack the study and just unearthed the vertical file in which I kept all those things. [You will recall that she moved over a month ago; how long does this take?] All mail requiring my attention is currently in a big pile, apart from the big pile of filing and the other one of information. This week I haven't done any paperwork and only just looked for the e-mails you sent me. I'm just moving in and spent today cleaning so Son 2 won't be absolutely ill when I pick him up in the morning. Still didn't finish, so will get up at 5:00am to try some more before I get him at 8:00. Other stuff budgeted this weekend, though, include my nephew bringing a rocker back, so not till Sunday or Monday morning and then there's other stuff on the schedule too, so I have to squeeze in business including sending a budget to you AFTER I call City Hall again, into the mix ASAP.
Hosea: Whatever. Just remember that none of what you have said stops you from getting in trouble when your bills are late, so I would have thought you'd want to prevent that from happening. But you're a big girl so you get to make your own decisions.
