How stupid can I be!

Up, down, could be better? How to get more bookings is our number one obsession. Talk shop here.

Suspect that's more likely! :wink:

We women don't mind admitting when we make a mistake - I did the same last summer. Happily quoted them a special reduced rate because they were BOOKING at that time - but for a high-rate high-demand period! :x But since I had specifically said in the e-mail that I was offering a reduction, I couldn't very well go back and say "sorry, didn't mean it!"

Even after that, I neglected to update the rate on one website, where the hosts somehow decided that the Christmas period was low-season :roll: so my lowest weekly rate of the year was for Christmas week - and of course was snapped up! :x :x

Ah well, we live and learn!

No double bookings for me but I just this evening realised that when you visit my Virginia property through internet explorer the title of the website reads ...holiday home rental in Middleburg Virginia with poo - windows internet explorer. :oops: Arrgh, I usually use my AOL browser which has pool! POOL!! MUST change that tomorrow. Oh and I don't let my husband anywhere near bookings, money etc, I'd be a nervous wreck.

Must admit that my Hubby has strict instructions to not take any booking phone calls but to refer them to me..............

He also doesnt even go near the computer...[suits him though] :wink:

Hes got a worse memory than me[if thats possible] Im always getting messages weeks later if a friend phones..... :roll: :wink:

Can we create a 'Dafty Club'...bit like the Tufty Club but for sillier peopleimg]http://bestsmileys.com/hugging/3.gif[/img]


Have you noticed its only women who do these sorts of things[yeah right :roll: ]....
weve even got a man nominating his wife......

Or could it be that its only women who admit to being wrong :?:

Common fess up!!.......MG...PC...Andy...
and maybe even Alan :wink:[surely not :shock: .......]
Ros, I'm deeply hurt that you think I could ever make a mistake like that!! Anyway, I don't consider them errors, I consider them as compromises to guarantee the booking! :roll:

I love trifles...but I do think they get a bit excessive when they have too much alcohol in them... :D

you tend to have to keep your eye on that type at parties...as they can become a bit of a pain :wink:
