I've sent the care home an email asking if I can change my days as my new job days were only available Monday yo Wednesday. What do I do they haven't replied to my email.

You'll need to work hard to make sure you impress them in your new job to make sure they don't fail your probation or reduce your hours, and also try harder to be flexible and avoid issues with your supervisor- and be lucky to find you enjoy working with your colleagues and managers. With all that you might just make more of a success of it than in your last few roles

Abbey, what you could have done or should have done is of no consequence now! You chose your days at the new job and assumed the old job/care home would fall in with your plans. I still think that was a bad idea, and it obviously hasn't paid off. You'll now need to try really hard to be the employee that the cleaning people want - if not, you could be totally unemployed very soon.
Abbey, do you really want to try to start mucking about in the cleaning job when you've only just started? Yes, they might change the days to suit you...then the care home might say 'no' to your request for the days you want there! Or the cleaning company might just tell you 'Tough, you said you were happy with Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday - if that doesn't suit you, you're free to leave.' And if you don't do a great job of impressing them, you might not last long there anyway.
How likely do you think it is that the carehome would go to the trouble of rejigging your hours again to suit you when they have alreaady indicated they don't think your really suited and after you have alrready let them down once.
And how likely is the cleaning firm to change your days from Monday- Wednesday to Tuesday &Thursday to suit you when you are still on probation/under training. I wouldn't be confident.
" what am I meant to tell people now?"
The truth? You're happy telling us every detail so why not tell the same to your friends. Okay you could try to put a positive spin on it by saying that you now have two jobs so are in demand and you have escaped from the job you hated at HB and now have two more enjoyable jobs
Abbey, who are the 'people' that you've to tell things? I'm afraid you got yourself into this muddled situation, and although you don't need to give anyone all the details, it wouldn't be right for you to blame others (such as saying 'the care home cut my hours' without adding 'because they felt I couldn't do the job'!)
Abbey, you'll have to face facts - you did let the care home down! They employed you to do a certain number of hours per week and they felt you couldn't cope. When they kept you on, with limited hours, you repaid them by asking - after you'd taken another part-time job - to change rotas and shifts to suit you. I think this would be acceptable only if you were a dream employee that they didn't want to lose...
