    Also, when you asked if they would consider a cash alternative, I wonder if they might've said no because the T&C probably specify no cash alternative, and cannot be transferred. However, the £500 spends would not be an alternative prize, but a component of the prize. I just wondered if you put it that way if they might consider giving that part alone. Really hope so, you so deserve it. Really hope they find some way to make it good :beer:
    I am brave, I am bruised
    I am who I'm meant to be
    I'm not scared to be seen
    I make no apology
    THIS IS ME!


    When you talk down to others it says more about you than them.

    Amilucky, it has made my day that I was able to offer you some hope (((((())))) I just pray that Capital will be willing to listen now, xxxxxxxx
    My light may be on, but that doesn't always mean I am looking at the PC - I am far more likely to be cuddling or feeding Tianna atm, so please don't think I am ignoring you if I don't reply quickly :)

    I pray that you can go on this Holiday, it would be such a boost for you both.
  • Hope you can get your holiday Amilucky. If they allow you to book a holiday but don't allow dates past the time allowed it could be worth booking for as late as you possibly can as you may then be able to deal direct with the holiday company to change the dates booked by paying an admin fee.

    Update
    PR person has gone away for 2 weeks but they say that they will have a look at the holiday and see if it is something that they can offer when they get back - I've got my fingers crossed

    Sorry to hear your tale of woe. If you get nowhere, why don't you PM me and I will post something on the Facebook page and see if some negative publicity will get them to do something.
