    Apologise? Explain calmly why you reacted the way you did.

    Apologise? Find someone else to buy one of you out?

    What have you tried doing? Eg have you tried apologising to her and saying you were out of line?

    Swallow your pride and say sorry. Even if she was wrong and you were right.

    Surely you'd rather make it up and go on a great holiday with your dear old mum than be worried about the cost of the holiday....?

    Be the bigger person and apologise.

    I have to agree with the others. If you cancel or whatever you'll just be making things worse. Stop digging!

    Apologise to your mother, make up, go on holiday and have a great time.
