Massive holiday cock up !

[TheDogsMother]

We’re on a ferry on our way to a small Greek Island and I was checking the accommodation arrangements. I have just noticed I booked from 23-30 October not September 😮. The booking is for a week and not refundable. This is so unlike me but what a bloody idiot !

Oh heck. You numpty! Means that you'll have to go back again next months then!! Bargain!!

On holiday in Greece, and watching Bake Off??
I must confess to being very bemused….

So glad you got sorted OP.
Paxos is my favourite place in the whole world.

wow.

How much is at stake?

I’d call it “a sign” 🤣

Lol

£760. I’m kicking g myself but I will see if there is anything to be done. It’s their call and my cock up.

In their shoes as a host - would you refund in this situation? Basically them gifting you £760

September in Greece is peak season
not in mid October

I did this, wrong year not month. They refunded no problem. Just ask them if you can stay now instead of October.

We don’t leave Greece until 13th October and DH was just calculating that it would only be another 9 days until the original mistaken October booking. I can work from anywhere and DH is retired. 😮

... do it!! And it will be wonderful watching Paphos turn into autumn.

(It is Paphos I think ...)

Isn’t Paphos in Cyprus, not Greece? Or is there more than one?

I guess it did, but really it's returning to the thread every time someone quotes me in order to put me back in my box

Hopefully just today. What about you?

Do it!
This is the stage of life I am looking forward to. Being able to be completely flexible with plans. No need to rush back if you can work from there.

Why? Just watch on laptop.

I'm loving the French mountain and the 'meh' shrug of the proprietor! 😆 Sorry to laugh and hope you had a lovely time anyhow but it's just so French!

I do but there is a great chat thread live here on Mumsnet which I love to join.

I just wanted to say how lovely you sound. You are not trying to blame anyone, seeing the hotel’s point of view and chilling out determined to have a lovely holiday and I’m sure you will!

Thank you, that’s lovely. DH is so chilled and there’s no good in me getting het up about it. There’s worse places to be 😎

Enjoy Paxos. I haven’t been for decades but it’s gorgeous and Gaios is very lovely. Make sure you go to Anti-Paxos.
We used to arrive with no accommodation and see what was available when we got there. Always landed a nice place!

Oh I’d be careful, she’s getting everyone’s posts deleted .. her nasty one can stay of course 🤨🙄

What I meant was, bemused at wanting to…
