DOCTORS RECEPTIONIST: 

Hello Mr. Simmons this is Oakhouse Surgery calling to remind you that you’re yet to collect your prescription from reception. Dr. Blake is concerned about your absence as it’s not recommended to go for so long without your prescription as the consequences can be serious. Please contact us if you are in anyway unable to collect your prescription. Thank you.

DAUGHTER:

 Hey dad, it’s me. Mum said that you agreed to pick me up from swimming after school tomorrow. It usually finishes around 5; I’ll be waiting outside as usual. Please don’t forget again like you did last time, see you.

BOSS: 

Russell, Craig here. I really don’t want to make this phone call, but you hardly turn up to work and I can’t ever reach you. I’m having to let you go. I know you’ve been struggling and I’ve done all I can to support you but I’m sorry. Call me back as soon as you get this and we’ll talk about the redundancy… and what needs to be done next. Best wishes.

DAUGHTER:

Where are you? Its me- Sophie!? I’ve been standing by the school gates for like an hour and it’s raining- I’m soaked! Have you forgotten again? You always do this! Mum’s right- I should never rely on you. Thanks a lot.

EX WIFE: 

Russell, it’s me. I’ve just picked up Sophie from swimming which funnily enough you were supposed to do. You’re her father, start acting like one. Another thing- Dave said he saw you by the house again last week. You can’t start doing this again. It’s not your house anymore. I don’t want to get the police involved but if it gets as bad as last time you leave me no other choice.

GIRLFRIEND: 

Where are you? This is like the sixteenth time calling in a week and you haven't bothered to pick up once. Was it me? Look, I didn’t mean what I said about moving in together, it was a joke! It’s obviously too soon… but please, call me back, I’m worried.

NEIGHBOUR:

 Hey Russell, its Tim from Number 23A. Just letting you know that some other residents and I have noticed that your mailbox is overflowing a bit. I haven’t seen you around, otherwise I would have spoken to you face to face. It’s not an urgent problem, but if you could tidy up a bit it would be a great help. Thanks.
