Ryanair have changed our flight times

We have had an email today to say that our flight times have gone from mid afternoon to mid evening with the result being that we arrive in Girona after midnight! We are not happy.
Ryanair are offering us either a refund or to have a credit for a future flight with lots of things to click in the email which I don't want to do yet.
Anyone know how we could just change our departure airport on the same day as we know we can get better times elsewhere? If we got the credit would that work?
Many thanks for your help if you know.

    You have had your flight changed and you're being offered a refund - what's the problem?

    Why not just book the other flight and claim a refund for the other flight?

    When you say 'change departure airport' do you mean still with Ryanair or another airline? Before you do anything check the price of the new flights and see what the difference is because if it is some time since you booked there may have been a llarge increase in prices depending on dates etc.
    Would be useful if you could post what flight has been changed as I use Ryanair to Gerona.

    We are flying from Bournemouth to Girona with Ryanair in July and the flights changed from mid pm to late pm.
    We could go from other Ryanair airports but it means longer travel time

    All sorted now - refunding our outgoing flights - keeping our home flights. Hubby used BA airmiles to buy us all flights from Heathrow early in the day and we are no worse off financially and gain half a day or more.
    Thanks for comments all.
