    Aw! So feel for you! Really hope you can make something work somehow (I'm sure people will be understanding if you explain) - if not, then perhaps it simply just wasn't meant to be - wishing you all the best and congratulations on winning! ;) xxx

    Can't you go with someone else if the date cannot be changed until next year? It is worth asking, it'd be a shame to have to let it go. Well done on winning!!
    A minute at the till, a lifetime on the bill.

    Nothing tastes as good as being slim feels.

    Be completely honest about your predicament and maybe the organisers can work something out with you.

    We're all human ,including them , and with any luck there might be some kind of alternative.

    Make sure you sort it out first thing in the morning and if it's not to be you'll feel better with it all behind you.

    Good luck.

    Firstly congratulations on winning!

    Is there no way that you could postpone the holiday? Perhaps try speaking to the organisers and see whether you could put it off for a while. Maybe your dh could speak to his employers and see if there's a way around the problem.
    I really hope you can find a solution and are able to go at some time. xx
