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.

@CassianAndor yes Carol doesn’t know that Dick rang the villa owner as Anne told her! Carol played dumb! Making her even more manipulative and sly.

PepsiLola · 19/06/2019 19:35

Even if you discuss what the hell is she expecting?

Flight is cancelled.

But I would meet incase she wants to open up about dick bullying her

DartmoorDoughnut · 19/06/2019 19:35

@TheresWaldo I loved SpanGran! I mean it was hideous too but that was a fantastic few threads Smile

Just tell Carol you’ll see her when you’re all back from holiday

PepsiLola · 19/06/2019 19:36

Carol May have only found out about dick calling after Anne spoke to her?

Giving her the benefit of the doubt here, I don't know why! She's proven to be a CF

Oldbutstillgotit · 19/06/2019 19:37

We are not meeting. No point .

“Hi Carol, Barbara and I aren’t available to meet up this week as we are busy getting ready for our girls only holiday.

We have checked our diaries for when we come back and are both free on the 12th of Never!”

Sarahandco · 19/06/2019 19:39

oh my

SummerForLoving · 19/06/2019 19:39

You don't sound selfish at all. Carol and Dick have been incredibly cheeky.

Oblomov19 · 19/06/2019 19:39

"Have I missed anyone?
Shall we assume the Villa owner is Harriet and the taxi driver will be Ivan"

Perhaps Carol wants to now reach out and explain what's going on and why this all happened... because dick is just that a dick and she is trapped by him?

PrayingandHoping · 19/06/2019 19:40

Good.

Now just go and have a great holiday. Don't let Carole and Dick cast any shadow over it

Jojowash · 19/06/2019 19:42

Well done her. Shame though.. she was just trying to be nice and she ends up with all this shit.

People are complicated feckers

Oldbutstillgotit · 19/06/2019 19:42

Anne’s decision but Barbara and I agree . We have had enough drama.

Was a lurker on original post..seems I may have missed a lot? Flights are cancelled? Does anyone have link to original so i can catch up?

SemperIdem · 19/06/2019 19:42

That pair are unhinged!

SandAndSea · 19/06/2019 19:42

Villazilla! Brilliant!

I wouldn't do the meet now. I can't imagine there's anything in it for you 3 at all.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 19/06/2019 19:43

Anne has told her that she gave her no option

Sounds like the simple truth to me - and well done to you and Barbara for backing her up

Personally I'd have thought a "meet up" a bit risky; what are you going to do if she brings Dick, and hasn't Anne put up with enough, without further haranguing?

And while it's not up to me, you might want to think twice before mentioning any website on here, never mind linking it. Dick could well be trawling rental sites already, and while he's unlikely to succeed because Spain's a big place, there seems little sense in broadcasting it

TheHodgeoftheHedge · 19/06/2019 19:43

For what it’s worth, I think that’s the right decision. I can’t believe the brass neck of the woman.

JorahsMistress · 19/06/2019 19:44

My dh would miss me if i was going on a girls holiday, but no way would he want to muscle in! But a holiday where he's the only man among 4 cackling women?? His idea of a nightmare 😂

Soola · 19/06/2019 19:45

Carol wants to meet up so that she can star in her own tearful production of, “I didn’t do anything wrong!”.

There will be tears, bewilderment, cunning and slyness all aimed at making Anne look like a bad person and Carol and Dick being bigged up as the harmless couple who have done no wrong and who are innocent victims in the whole sorry saga.

KittiKat · 19/06/2019 19:46

OMG! Have read thread 1 and now 2. Please tell me they are in real life called Chris and Pete. I know a real life Pete who has managed to wheedle his way into work do's and many, many other social occasions and not wanted to contribute to any. One time he ordered a meal off the starter menu but wanted it as a main course (which comes out twice as big obviously) but when the bill came, he and his wife only wanted to pay a starter price. I now refuse to go to any event he is attending and so do a lot of others. One colleague has actually now told his wife that it is employees only and not spouses and that did not go down well.

Please go and meet Carole - said purely for selfish reasons as I need to know wtf she would say!

OKBobble · 19/06/2019 19:47

Have a great holiday and spoil Anne rotten

CantspellWontspell · 19/06/2019 19:47

You’re right not to meet. Dick would turn up and try and bully you, plus there’s just no point.

Carole Doesn’t see anything wrong with blagging a free couples holiday off the generosity of Anne and she never will.

Dick is an absolute piece of work though, wow!
