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.

Oh my goodness, what a storm Carol has created here. What should have been a lovely holiday has turned into a total stress fest for poor Anne. I really hope the three of you can switch off and have an amazing time. If it were me I would be changing the dates, country, everything, just to avoid any potential drama. But probably it's too late with deposits and annual leave now.

From old thread:

"This thread is almost full!

It won't stop Dick from trying to barge in"

Ha ha ha.

I’m amazed this hasn’t made the scumbag papers.

FilledSoda · 19/06/2019 18:49

I wonder if Dick denied making that call to Carol.
Even she would realise how cf that was.
She must be in complete denial

MotherOfSoupDragons · 19/06/2019 18:50

It has IHeartArya.

Placemarking!

MidsomerBurgers · 19/06/2019 18:52

Cancel the flight could replace cancel the cheque!

I'm glad that Anne has cancelled the flight and hope she didn't lose too much money on it. Still cheaper than a week with a pair of CFs in a villa though.

F while I catch up on the other thread

theworldistoosmall · 19/06/2019 18:52

I reckon if Babs dh mentions it to the golfing buddies, you will all learn they have a reputation for this.

I would have messaged back - what did you expect when you didn't listen to us all saying he's not invited? Even more so when he's bragging about his free holiday and harassing the villa owner. And don't give me the bollocks about it wasn't him. We ALL know it was him. You still don't understand? You DONT invite other people into other peoples holidays or anything else.

I really don't think this is the last of it. They are determined to have a free holiday.

TapasForTwo · 19/06/2019 18:52

Just joining in with the incredulity of the cheek of Carol's husband. He is an insensitive git with zero social awareness. I would love to know about the gossip at the golf club.

Happynow001 · 19/06/2019 18:54

Actually I'd not send Carol a link to the threads, a) because she may inadvertently get information about the holiday which will help her and Dick but, more importantly,
b) it doesn't sound as though Anne is the type of person who'd want this issue bandied about any more than it has been...

OP I hope you three ladies have a wonderfully relaxing and stress free holiday without those other two awful people intruding either physically or mentally.

Good luck! ☘️🍷☀️

MsMightyTitanAndHerTroubadours · 19/06/2019 18:54

ooh a followup thread!

SummerForLoving · 19/06/2019 18:55

I can't believe he rang the villa owner and then Carol denied it!

OralBElectricToothbrush · 19/06/2019 18:55

Carol's a total bitch. Why don't one of you tell her to fuck off. As for asking her to apologise, it'll rain money before that happens, get real. She understand perfectly well, she's just still on the swizz.

peachsquish · 19/06/2019 18:57

Poor Anne, could you and Barbara organise a gift basket/champagne surprise with the help of the villa owner to be waiting for her when you arrive.

TheresWaldo · 19/06/2019 18:57

Is this still going? Why no-one just did a BIG FAT NO right at the very beginning and allowed all this drama is beyond me. I am expecting SpanGran at any minute to sort it out.

Donneytrumpgal · 19/06/2019 18:58

Wow!!!

Will Anne lose money on Carol’s flight?

Goodness what a terrible way to behave.

OralBElectricToothbrush · 19/06/2019 18:58

Don't feel sorry for Carol, she ran her mouth off and enabled this shit.

PepsiLola · 19/06/2019 18:59

I read your thread the other day and was shocked then, now I have seen your updates and can't believe the CFery. Not only from Dick but Carol, she must have known all along you wouldn't be happy due to the way she didn't tell you he'd booked a flight.

I'm glad Anne has cancelled the flight, Carol only has herself to blame for it.

ElspethFlashman · 19/06/2019 19:00

Wow! Things have escalated so much! Hard to believe these people could actually exist!

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 19/06/2019 19:00

I'm nominating this saga for Classics for sure.

EBearhug · 19/06/2019 19:00

I'm guessing Carol hasn't apologised yet...

PennyBryn · 19/06/2019 19:01

What a trio of amazing assertive women, good on you all 😍

QueenDaisy · 19/06/2019 19:06

I’ve only read the OP’s updates, so I don’t know if anybody else has already nicknamed Dick, Villazilla 🤣
