Tired of constant phone calls

[racheltje]

Hi. I get in every evening at about 6 and within about 20 mins I usually get my 1st phone call. I have a couple of friends who call me nearly everynight because they have 'free minutes'. I have started to ignore the phone and when i dial 1471 its usually one of them. If I don't answer on my house phone they will call my mobile straight after or keep dialing all eve until I answer. Neither has anything to say but : 'hiya'. I live alone and just want a bit of peace when I get in so have even taken to unplugging my phone. But i don't like to do this incase anybody really does need to speak to me. I need to know the best way to tell these girls without offending them. I'm in my mid 30's and don't want this everynight!!

Then tell them that. If they are your friends they will understand.

Thnks for your quick answers. I think i need to tell them 4getmenot, you are right. and -z- i don't don't mind phone calls but just not everynight! I'm really starting to hate mobiles and the way we are all constantly contactable. I want to throw mine away!
