Carol has replied to Anne saying she is shocked that Anne would cancel her flight after promising it. Anne has told her that she gave her no option .
Both Barbara and I have messaged Carol saying that she has behaved badly and should apologise to Anne.

Just catching up on Villazillas.

How Carol cannot understand that her flight has been cancelled is beyond me. The rudeness of expecting to bring her man, his boasting down the golf club and then phoning the villa owner. Absolutely cheeky fucker behaviour!

@BreakfastAtSquiffanys

@Oldbutstillgotit can I ask, is there a website for the villa's?
Is that you Dick?

Don't know why you'd think I was Dick 🙄🤣

BrienneofTarthILoveYou · 19/06/2019 22:44

Oh Op, hopefully this will be the end of the drama and you all have a great time away. I really feel for Anne & hope she's able to relax & enjoy herself.

Villazilla · 19/06/2019 22:46

Thank you for the excellent username inspiration. Been due a change for a while and Aston Villa are my local team so the name is apt.

Obviously I'm not Dick/Carol. I hope you ladies have a fab time and this whole saga doesn't cast a shadow over your holiday. Might be worth switching off your phone's for a bit just in case Carol tries to guilt trip you while you're out there.

TanMateix · 19/06/2019 22:48

Unbelievable! I hope you have a great IME while you are away. 🙂

Oldbutstillgotit · 19/06/2019 22:51

@forumdonkey OMG I nearly spat out my wine !!

All quiet here .....

A lot of people have suggested that Dick has cohesive control over Carol, have they considered it might be the other way? Less common but it does happen. All the things done by both parties could have been instigated by the other. Dick could have called up because it's what Carol expects, as well as Carol claiming bullying because Dick requires something. Or they could both by CFs. We have absolutely no way of telling.

All very logical but doesn't account for him bragging in the golf club that they have blagged a free holiday in Spain

BMW6 · 19/06/2019 22:58

People like Carol and Dick either have zero conception that they are being cunts, or, more likely, they just don't care.

JudefromJersey · 19/06/2019 22:59

I bet Carole will be telling all and sundry how hard done by she has been by Anne.

Seriously though, pool old Anne. She offered a wonderfully lovely gesture to her friends as a thank you for their support and it has backfired spectacularly. OP I hope you've told her how much virtual support she has here.
And I know there's a queue, but I'm in line to go instead, happy to bunk down on the sofa in the new villa. Don't remotely mind that y'all are coffee drinking, wine guzzling grannies, they're the best kind.

Ihatesundays · 19/06/2019 23:01

I love reading about CFs (and not dealing with them)

BMW6 · 19/06/2019 23:04

and I think "cheeky" doesn't come close to describing this behaviour. We need a new word to ascribe to this extreme level of self-centredness.

Freakyfucker? Psychofucker?

Any ideas?

Dragonlight · 19/06/2019 23:13

OMG, I have no words! I hope Anne is Ok, she sounds just lovely. You three deserve to have an amazing time, especially after this.

SlipperOrchid · 19/06/2019 23:14

Poor Anne - her extremely kind intentions have been torn to shreds by those chancers.

Mxyzptlk · 19/06/2019 23:18

Go, Grannies!
Have a brilliant holiday. StarWine

MsMightyTitanAndHerTroubadours · 19/06/2019 23:20

I always read CF as CuntyFucker/s, I think if cheeky needs upgrading and apparently for Carole and Dick it does then that's the way to go :o

INeedAFlerken · 19/06/2019 23:20

Stand firm and decline to meet with her before your holiday.

Tell her you'll plan to meet up after you return and everyone has had some time apart.

lostfrequencies · 19/06/2019 23:22

Hope it all calms down soon.

EdtheBear · 19/06/2019 23:24

Just being curious did Anne get much of the flight money back?

CheerfulPotato · 19/06/2019 23:28

I don’t care if this is true - it’s a fab story 😁

Stabbitha · 19/06/2019 23:31

I really hope Anne gets a nice distraction from Juilian the gorgeous pool cleaner.

Treaclesweet · 19/06/2019 23:31

I would be so entertained by this but I really feel for Anne, who just wanted to do something nice for friends.

justilou1 · 19/06/2019 23:32

This is just one of those fabulous stories that even when the Villasweeties are having the magnificent holiday that they truly deserve, we will be glued to our phones, iPads and laptops wanting MORE from the Villazillas!!! (What appalling people!!! Dick needs to be denied oxygen immediately - *simply for snapping his fingers at wait staff alone. Can’t abide people like that!!!)

DaftHannah · 19/06/2019 23:40

BlythesEyes · 19/06/2019 23:42

I'm way too invested in this...
But....
How could Carol even think for one minute that if she did meet up and sort all this out that you would all end up having a fabulous holiday?
There is no coming back from the mess that Carol and Villazilla have created.
Well done the three musketeers...have a fab holiday..(but keep up with the updates in the meantime)

Jemima232 · 19/06/2019 23:45

Aha.

I was wondering about the outcome of this, OP.

Have a brilliant time away with your friends.
