We were supposed to go to another area in the UK with partner and my in laws on a specific date overnight.
The date was agreed two months in advance, my partner and I both booked the days off work to accommodate it, and i booked my partner and I some accommodation. Fortunately, this was all we'd booked for now, however stupidly I booked non refundable.
The reason we were going was for his mother's birthday.
Now, 2 weeks before she tells us, "Oh, we're not going anymore." It was a very trivial reason, some activity they wanted to do there was fully booked. There's still plenty of very similar activities to do there, and otherwise, it's a huge place.
As I said we've booked the time off work and I've paid for accommodation. I really wish I hadn't booked non-refundable.
If it were for illness or an emergency I'd understand. My partner and I can still go there alone, but there's now talk of doing something else for her birthday.
If it involves going somewhere else, AIBU to not go? It's not fair they messed our plans about and I'm not losing money because they changed their minds on a whim
