HELP! Booking multiple Ryanair tickets on same day.

Will be travelling to Greece this April from Rome. I booked flights a couple days ago, and the flights were around 40 euro from Rome to Athens and 30 euro from Athens to Santorini. I just found out that I need to change the dates because of work, leaving Athens a day earlier. The change fees were 50 euros and 30 euros respectively (plus the cost of new ticket prices) , which cost more than the tickets themselves, so I booked new flights leaving at different times, but on the same original days. I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but will Ryanair charge me for booking flights on the same day, if I don't use the original flights? Will I be fine if I don't check in? Thanks so much in advance.

    I've actually hedged my bets with Ryanair before. I booked 2 tickets for the same day but different times in case my incoming flight was late. But for £9 I thought it was a good insurance. Checked in for both but took the first. Actually got an email from them saying that as I didn't take the other flight would I like to claim the taxes back.

    Boy how they have changed:beer:
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.
