What a day

There i was minding my own business ironing for a customer when my phone rang.I didn't recognise the number so didn't answer it because i was busy.Voicemail was left so i listened and was then in a state of shock.Apparently i had won a competition and this was the handling house confirming details stating an email was being sent and i had to confirm details.
You will never guess what i won.

2 nights in Paris staying in this hotel
http://www.derbyhotels.com/en/hotel-banke/the-hotel/photo-gallery/photo-banke-hotel-557.html
with flights
limousine transfers
and tickets for the Tm Burton exhibition.

pretty amazing but as you all know thinks are never straight forward in my house.
The days we are due to go are 20th to 22nd July.The 21st July is my eldest daughters 21st birthday,
She is being taken for a spa day on her birthday 9 til 5 but i feel bad about being away .
OH wants to go but he hates Paris ( i know who hates Paris) and youngest daughter wants to go who would really appreciate it.

So who do i take,someone is going to be upset.

  4. Youngest daughter! Some bonding time and she'll love Paris. I think it's amazing and the Eiffel Tower blows me away! Well done anyway! x

  8. Firstly is there any chance you can change the dates or is the exhibition just on for those dates?

    Next, have a word with your eldest daughter and ask her how she honestly feels about you being away. After all, she's away but it is also her 21st. You may find she wanted to do things with her friends for the evening but felt guilty about not spending it with you.

    Next, ask your OH if he would really object to you taking your youngest daughter, considering he does not like Paris after all.

    It really is a difficult decision which is marring your enjoyment of such a wonderful prize. Other than the above, put the names of all those who want to go into a hat and tell them the draw is final.

  10. What a fantastic prize! Would you eldest want to go instead of to the spa? That would solve the dilema between DD and DH , if not I have no idea except what someone else said - names out of a hat.x
