Met another mum in the area and did a few play dates. All good. She then became incredibly flakey and let me down a lot (cancelling on the day, forgetting, not booking tickets for events we agreed to go) . After one event where I ended up going alone, I stopped bothering.
Recently she started a business and it was a service I require soon and reached out. Her work is great. Following this she asked to catch up for a dinner, we arranged and I booked a place with deposit. On the day she cancelled due to sickness, and I was charged the deposit as it was only a few hours before that she let me know.
A few days later she messaged me apologetic again, offered to pay the deposit and wanted to rearrange. Against my better judgement, I agreed a day , we both 'locked it in' . I sent a message re doing xyz.... no reply for 2 weeks and I didn't bother to chase (like I usually do!)
I did not hear back... Until the day after the scheduled meet where she seemed oblivious of missing our meet and said she'd been sick again. When I pointed out we were suppose to meet yesterday it was simply a 'lol oops' type reply.
Oh, she has never actually paid me the deposit back that I lost for our dinner booking and it's been a month!
AIBU to cancel the service I have booked as I just cannot trust her to fulfill it as she is so flaky and seems oblivious to her flakiness to be honest. I won't be scheduling to meet her again.
