Don't know what to do

[Belfast girl]

Right this might seem like a bit of a no brainer but my best friend phoned me last night, her and her bf were to go to Majorca on Tuesday but something has come up for her bf at work and he doesn't think he'll be able to go on holidays any more. Apparently it's some opportunity that he'd be mad to miss, and it starts on the last day of their holiday. So she's asked me to go instead.

I don't know what to do, I'm really torn. Obviously it sounds good cos its a holiday with my best friend and we'll probably never do this again but at the same time I was really looking forward to going away with Matt for our first time away together and feel that it won't be as special if I've been away the week before!

Plus (and this is the main thing) there's the money thing, with doing the house up I will have to dip into my savings more which I hate doing as I've already taken a good bit out to do what I'm doing and don't want to waste it.

Matt said to go and so did mum but my friend said she didn't want me to feel under any pressure at all and to be honest I would rather they found some way round it and got to go themselves cos they were really looking forward to it.

Hmmm difficult one. There's also the time off work issue? Have you got enough days to be able to go away for another week?

I wouldn't know what to do myself though, on the one hand the thought of having a girly holiday with my best mate is great, but if you're going away the week after you get back and you're redecorating, you have to think about how much it's all going to cost and if you have enough money.

Also, to change the name on the tickets costs money too I think??

Do what you think is right though hun

Sorry if I'm not much help

Yeah i have enough time, we were planning to go away for longer than we ended up booking for so i have 19 days to last til the end of jan. This holiday would take up about 7 and the next one would take 8.

Plus i can work up some flexi time if i need to

I have the money but it means dipping more and more into savings for the house decoration. They've said to me to pay £100 for the holiday if i want it, they'll pay for the name change etc

But it's the spending money that causes the problem
