Sleeping phone

I left my phone in my bed yesterday due to softening the alarm under my pillow since my son was at mine. I get half an hour extra before the school run and like to let him have that asleep. This act resulted in me reaching work and tapping my phone pocket to find it empty. 

I barely need my phone especially at work but thought that due to Sod's law I would have some important message waiting, probably from my sons mum. Although I knew she had my works number and that never rang. I had lost my evening immersed in printing a long run and at times buried my sleepy head in a book. Anything to relieve the monotony of work. I arrived home at 9:40pm finally. Grabbed my phone and saw my friend had tried to reach me. Then came the realisation that he was pencilled in to visit me once I'd finished some overtime. I'd totally forgotten I was supposed to let him know if I was free. I had my ipod so if I'd've only remembered I could have messaged him in some way. 

I have people not reply to me and then say they lost their phone and I never believe them. Now the boot is on the other foot.
