Default A blokes worst nightmare

Every now and again I'll have some nutter ring me on my work mobile or randomly add me on msn. This morning pre my morning cuppa I had a call on my work mobile....

Me:- Matt X Speaking
Caller:- Hi I'm Claire from Social Services, is that Matt?
Me:- yes.....
SS:- I'm calling about your child
Me:- Erm, I think you have the wrong number, I don't have kids
SS:- Yes you do! You have a lovely daughter called Shelly, she's 4.
Me:- ...... (I'm frantically thinking dates, uni time yep, broke up 4 years ago with a girl..... uh oh)
SS:- Hello, Hello?!
Me:- erm, yep. You sure you want me?
SS:- You are Matt X on <blah>88
Me:- No I'm Matt Y on <blah>66
*She then starts giggling*
SS:- Sorry I have the wrong number
Me:- You damn nearly gave me a heart attack!

She then starts laughing a lot apologising for scaring me. She then goes off to the poor Matt with the phone number ending 66. Christ that was a close call, I had a coffee rather than a tea after that one. She sounded fairly pissed off as well which made it a hell of a lot more shocking!

How has your Monday morning been?

Well no-ones tried to tell me I have an illegitimate child so far, so better than yours I suppose.

I could do with another weekend to be honest. The one just gone was the last before I get hitched on Saturday and it was all a bit mental.
I'm not really busy at work and have a hundred things I could be doing at home. It's all a bit frustrating.

EDIT: Hmmm. I've subconsciosly added this to a thread entitled 'A blokes worst nightmare'. Jitters must be getting to me

Best of luck matey This coming weekend is our last before the big day, but hopefully it will be relatively relaxed as we hope *touches wood* that everything is pretty much sorted now.

Cheers, Davey. Best of luck to you guys too.

Biggest worry right now is the weather. Heavy showers forecast all week.

Eek!

Still, better than a bloke's worst reality: when you find out that your child isn't actually yours.
