I Am Disgusted!
I am absolutely furious at the disgusting rudeness of the people I was going to house sit for from tonight through to the following Saturday a week hence. I had my case packed this morning for Barbara G to up pick up this morning on her way to Eastbourne from where they live in Newhaven. They phone to say that they were running very late and could they come later. The problem was that I had some work to do in Battle which I needed to arrive before 5 pm and that I would have to leave Georgina's at one pm at the latest. I heard nothing until I phoned them again before the final hour of me leaving and I heard two voices in the car , one being her friend Lesley , and it was obvious they were arguing. So after GC had her shower, I decided to leave to catch the three buses I needed to get to Battle. On the way, just outside of Eastbourne I get a call from Barbara's boyfriend (Brian) to say that they have changed their mind and will get her father to look after the two dogs and cat for the week. The fact that he has just come out of hospital and to look after three animals, as well as taking the dogs for a walk, beggars disbelief. I am certain he is not up to the job.
What also galls me is that they had the nerve to phone today, the last day before they fly off in the morning to a sunny destination, whilst I am on a bus already leaving Eastbourne, and that Barbara did not have the guts to apologize herself and get the said boyfriend to ring on her behalf. The fact is, I did her murmurs from her in the background, and he told her to shut up. What, GB , no guts to speak to me yourself or even Gerogina.
Also I have lost a lucrative fifty pounds , and had to cancel some work to come down here., I was unable to do a two day bakery security visit in Rainham and a car covert shop in High Brooms (now somebody else has that job for double the fee at £40).
So, I am very angry. GC is perplexed and very angry and has struck BG off her list of friends. I also conveyed this to my brother, and he too is speechless, extremely angry, and said that if he sees her again he would give her a piece of his mind.
So as it is, I will be staying down here till at least Thursday , as I have another evening visit in Uckfield on the Wednesday. I have a visit in Hastings to do on Saturday, and a men's clothes store in Brighton on the Sunday, in which I shall visit my brother.
