I have to say it can be very distressing when someone Text’s you and your not prepared. You don’t often know which way to turn although I think once you come to terms with it and your comfortable speaking to someone it gets easier. When I send text messages it takes forever writing the buggers, and then you think to yourself if people at the other end think your ignorant for not replying quicker or at all. I had some bad experiences this year because someone thought I was ignoring them or that I didn’t what to speak to them.
