[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 125527, member: 1991"] OK, I'm getting the consensus. I did manage to talk to another friend of mine today, a health professional who knows the village but doesn't know this man. She agrees - I need to extricate myself from this mess. She felt I need to let the agency know, but I'm not sure about this. I still haven't got my biopsy appointment, I'll have to wait until Monday now. But I'm seriously thinking of finding an excuse to cancel - we're going away next morning, maybe I can officially leave a day earlier. I tried to drop in on the Avon lady (the client he has right after me - I'm not supposed to know this, but it IS a small town) but she was out. Interestingly, as I was getting back into my car I saw one of my FORMER cleaners - yes, she is still working for the agency. She was never that great, but definitely better than he is. I gathered she is very happy with her work, might welcome a bit more? The problem I had with her before - she was working three jobs, sometimes it meant she didn't sleep and would turn up to my place looking more in need of help than me. Now she seems much more rested, so chances are she'd be good. I have one more thing I can try - another person to discreetly talk to, about the inner workings of the agency. She no longer works for them, but is one of the few people I could trust. I'm going to try to talk to her over the weekend (she dumps on me a lot, over her easy child-turned-difficult child daughter). And I'm hoping my other friend comes through, the one who might be able to help me track court records online. To that end - weather permitting, I'm going to try to do my village shopping early tomorrow morning. Saturday morning in the village is like a family gathering. That way I can chat to locals, I can drop in and visit the Avon lady, drop in and visit my paralegal friend and maybe even meet my cleaner (or his wife) socially so I can ask casually how things are going. In a street setting, with other people within coo-ee. I've had a standing invitation to have coffee with the new church people (which includes cleaner's wife, and the pastor). I might go for coffee and keep my mouth shut and ears open. I hate having to use subterfuge, but I feel I've been so isolated lately, I need to get back in touch with my friends and neighbours. It could make it easier for me to ask the agency on Monday for a change of cleaners, without it seeming too obvious. I don't want to get this guy angry with me, or feeling any more paranoid than he already is. softly, softly, at this stage. I'll keep you all updated. Marg [/QUOTE]
