What an idiot i am!

[nickymills30]

As a few of you may know, i re-homed my trio of boys, to another forum member, after the girls she was going to take, fell out.

I felt terrible messing her about, so offered my trio, and said she could borrow the cage, until she had a new one sorted.

I dropped them off to her, at no cost to her, and whilst there she asked if she could buy the cage off me, well me being stupid, said she could have it for £20, even though i had paid £40 for it, the week before, she told me, she hadn't the money, until the next week, but would paypal it me. That was a month ago.

Have emailed her, both on here and on facebook, and got no answer.

Eventually remembered i had her number and texted her, which she has come back with some "inappropriate word" and bull story about not being on line, but i sent the email on 21t feb, and she was on line on the 22nd.

I;m sorry for the rant, but just want other members to be careful.

I am all for the animals, and have never 'sold' an animal, and normally give their cages with them, but need extra cages due to taking pregnant chins on.

I;m just so p***ed off! She has said, she will give me the money, 'when she can' but thats no good to me.

Again sorry for the rant, but i have def learnt my lesson. Have realised a lot of people come on here, just to get free goo's.

3 other people, who have had goo's off me, have never been back on here, and i always ask for updates.

Needless to say, i will def be more careful in the future

Awww nicky what a shame! Don't lose all faith, there are people on here, as you know that are honest. I read the thread as it was happening and thought what a nice generous thing you did. I can't believe how thoughtless people are, you're bound to want to know how they're doing. X

Wth, go round and kick her door down, sounds like a proper cow... demand the money or demand the cage... it's still your cage. Send her an email saying that if you don't see the money in a week you'll be coming round to pick up the cage and if you don't have a cage for the boys you'll be taking them as well. I'm sure someone who's not a total cow will buy it and adopt the boys. Sorry to sound mean but that's evil and don't think you're an idiot... you did a nice thing and some people are just horrible.

[nickymills30]

shes said her daughter has lost her job, and shes having to help her out financially, but, why didn't she have the decency to let me know, she wouldn't be able to pay me the money?

I know it may seem i;m making a lot, out of 20 pound, but i just hate being taken for a ride

Aw Nicky, some people are just out to do themselves well - don't think about anyone else. Don't blame you for being more careful but don't let it stop you helping others out - you do such a good job!

Proud of you, Nicky. If this were me, there would have ben a lot more 'bleeps' in this thread.

[nickymills30]

thanks guys. And yes amie, i had to re-write this thread a few times before posting lol.

I know not every one is un-trustworthy, amie was great when she had my boys and still is, and i will never regret her having them, just needed to let off steam xx

[moletteuk]

what a bummer it's just so galling when you did a really kind and trusting thing letting her have your goos and already being generous letting her have the cage really cheap, and it's still not enough for some people, makes you sick

[queenie]

Thats horrible Sounds like you went out of your way to help her and not mess her about and this is how she re paid you?? I loose faith in people everyday, it sucks If I got degus from you Nicky you'd be sick of the updates

I guess my post was removed for naming names. Sorry.

I hope that the person who has these degus and cage decides to make the payment that they promised you.

You sound like a lovely caring person and I hate it when nice people get treated badly - I hope you get it sorted x

[nickymills30]

thank you hun, but don't think my husband would agree lol xx

[salfordunifern]

I think this is disgusting.... know this reply is very late but have you seen any money off her yet?!?!

Well my degus have just had babies very unexpectedly because i was told they were both males, and i got told to make some money..... i told them no thank you i would rather see them go to a good home!

[nickymills30]
