As some of you may know, we had an au pair last year for 4 months to help me out during my pregnancy. We let her go at chrimbo due to financial constraints but we also had some issues with her - namely laziness and also how much food she got through! When she left we discovered that she had banged the car and not told us, and she also got a parking ticket that she didnt tell us about. She did the leave the money for it which was the right thing to do but she only left us with a day or so to pay it before the fine would have increased because she didnt tell us.
Well today Alan gets another ticket through the post - another parking ticket she incurred the day before she left to go back to Paris. She must have ripped it up and just not told us about it!!
So because she didnt tell us its gonna cost us £50 rather than the £25 if we had been able to pay it within the time limits.
Im soooo mad I cant tell you! £50 is a lot of money at the best of times, never mind with our cash flow problems AND the fact we have another baby on the way in 4 weeks!!
I have sent her an email telling her she needs to give us the money or else im going to contact her current employer (she is an au pair for another family in Liverpool) to tell them about her deceit because I cant be responsible for her doing similar to another family.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
