Hey Anmar, I take it you mean Red Cross as in medical people. If so, then a good looking Italian man giving me some first aid sounds quite appealing, bagsy I get to faint first :wink:

welllllll .............. finish the story Ros

one or two houses ??????????????
1 and a half :wink: :lol: :lol:

Ah...But...I cant yet....Its still ongoing.... :?

Shes come back saying theres definitely 4 kids now...I have pointed out that the original booking said 5.....

We shall see but there is more than one way to skin a cat and the truth will out.....

If she does go along with the booking I will drop in the fact that it will be nice as we will be in the house next door so we can meet......[I wont :wink: ]
My guess is she will vamoose :wink:unless of course she leaves one home alone :shock:

On the other subject..

Hi I know but trust me its not that...

These emails were about 10 mins apart...also wouldnt she have just said that one of the kiddiewinks werent coming now ....
It was only when I said as there are 9 you must mean both houses that she came back and said there were only 8 :roll:

And if the prospect of me being next door doesnt put her off nothing will..I mean would you stay with me next door :roll: ...

I know I wouldnt...erm..not that that would be possible would it... :lol:

Im a bit more doubting now as this happened last year and someone forgot to add a child and when they gave there ages another popped up by mistake..
When I tackled her she said shed told me and Id said it was OK...[this is why you keep emails and dont confirm anything on the phone..] after fwding all the relevant emails[showing she hadnt] she went quiet...

I will keep you posted though...and she hasnt mentioned the secure site again either[as I only accept chqs it wont be a problem...smokescreen it was]...Im not as green as Im cabbage looking :wink: .....

Actually my dippiness does help at times cos people think Im silly which I am a lot of the time but just when they think theyre going to kid me ...WHAM....

I actually have really good instincts which I think was Gods way of protecting me from my daftness...... :wink:

is it the old 'squeeze an extra couple in they'll never notice' con?

It's amazing how this does happen, especially with properties where they think the owner isn't going to be around :roll:

top excuse for 2006 - we got to the airport and there was X, who'd booked as a surprise, so we didn't know they were coming :?

Oh yeah... :wink:

Up until Easter week we had many enquiries daily for that week and almost nothing for any other dates. Now with Easter out of the way we have had some enquiries for other dates but so far had no response from any of them :cry: . How long do you normally wait before you give up? I don’t want to call them even if I have the phone number as I would not like being called myself, but I wonder if I am loosing bookings because of this.
