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.

So glad you had a wonderful time! Sounds an absolute hoot.

As for Carol. And him wanting his flight money reimbursed. Words fail...

HeronLanyon · 02/07/2019 09:48

Welcome back. So glad you had a great time. Thank you also for having triggered one of the most lovely and funny (and I hope also supportive of you three) threads for some time.
Good luck with any continuing dynamics fallout.
Here’s to more travel by the ABF posse. (I think we have you as name starting with f in the storyboard.). The FAB 3.

Dick wants his flight money reimbursed ! The cheek ! So glad you had a lovely trip.

BruceAndNosh · 02/07/2019 09:59

Uh, that'll be a No to Dick

Clutterbugsmum · 02/07/2019 10:19

Glad you had a great time away, it sounds like a lot of fun and just what you all needed.

And as for Dick tell him to take you to court about his flight costs. He can explain to the judge why he expects a refund for a flight which he was never invited on let alone trying to gatecrash a holiday paid for by some else as a thank you. I would love to be a fly on that wall.

DartmoorDoughnut · 02/07/2019 10:24

Glad you had a fantastic week, tell Dick to go jump off a plane!

Branleuse · 02/07/2019 10:42

Im not surprised shes upset, but she brought it on herself by inviting her bloody husband to a women only holiday, or not standing up to him muscling in. I dont see what else you could have done without ruining it for everyone else.
Im glad you had a great time

PanamaPattie · 02/07/2019 10:45

Always say no to Dick.

cstaff · 02/07/2019 10:55

Well Dick is really proving himself to be a complete Dick in real life. Let him at it - all it is going to do is cost him money if he tries to pursue Anne for his flight costs. What a charmer.

Limits33 · 02/07/2019 10:57

Reimbursed for his flights?? What a tool.

justilou1 · 02/07/2019 11:04

OMG - bet there are a million “clicked at” waiters at the golf club willing to testify in court about Dick bragging about his “free holiday”.... what a class-a knobber.

RebootYourEngine · 02/07/2019 11:25

Reimbursed???!!! Hahahaha I haven't heard something so funny in a while.

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 02/07/2019 11:55

Thank you for updating, OP. Always appreciated!

Whathappenedtooursummer · 02/07/2019 12:19

Hope you sent them a Wish you were here? postcard!!

Italia2005 · 02/07/2019 12:42

Thanks so much for the update!

MrsGrannyWeatherwax · 02/07/2019 12:49

Thank you for the update and glad you had a lovely time

Hairyheadphones · 02/07/2019 12:52

Dick wants a reimbursement! Crazy!

Glad you had a great time.

Nameusernameuser · 02/07/2019 13:19

I'm so glad this came back on my active threads. Hilarious, glad you had a lovely holiday!

Puzzledandpissedoff · 02/07/2019 13:25

Really pleased you had such a good time, OP - goodness knows you all deserved it

Once again I'm impressed with the way Anne's handling this, especially with ignoring Carol's latest whining (not to mention Dick's risible demands) Your joint friendship with Carol may or may not survive this, but at least you know you've got a great, supportive group there and long may it continue Flowers

Jux · 02/07/2019 15:03

Brilliant you had a good time, and here's WineGin to many more holidays together!

As for Dick..... no one stopped him taking his flight, did they?

ContessaLovesTheSunshine · 02/07/2019 15:16

Blimey. The entitlement is strong with them, isn't it?!

So glad you had a perfectly normal holiday OP :)

Disfordarkchocolate · 02/07/2019 15:26

Great update. Glad all this didn't overshadow your holiday.

justilou1 · 02/07/2019 15:30

Suspect Carol needs a good talking to. Especially given the conversation at the golf club. What an absolute twerp.

Groovee · 02/07/2019 16:27

Dick wants his flight reimbursed? 😂😂🤣🤣 He really doesn't grasp how much more CF'ery he is giving.

Glad you had a lovely time.

Jux · 02/07/2019 16:43

Brilliant that you had a good time and yes,you need to do it again regularly ("when shall we three meet again" and all that!).

Dick, well, who stopped him getting on the flight he obnoxiously paid for?
