Follow up to my Holiday Dilemma

Thanks, I have gone on my own before as I did say but just didn't feel in the right frame of mind.
She refused to put an insurance claim in and made no mention of reimbursing me in any way so I' ve just written it off to experience. C'est la vie!

At the top of the thread, it was ‘Ask a gran’, so I assumed that was what the OP had posted under before, and I looked back on that forum.

If the ‘Search’ facility works, you could try it also, but it doesn’t work for me, nothing comes up, so I have to think of other ways to find things.

You always knew this was a possibility and she did offer to reimburse you.

I would have gone on my own.

Had she also left it to the last minute so will be losing £1k also. I couldn't have been able to cope with the uncertainty and would have had to have made a decision before departure day. Who needs that unnecessary stress?

I remember your post.
I too would have gone on my own.

I also looked for the previous thread but couldn’t find it.
FWIW I would have gone on the holiday by myself, at least the money wouldn’t have been wasted.

If she couldn’t go due to health issues couldn’t you have both claimed on insurance. Anyway, I would have gone

I'd have gone on my own.

How did you find her original thread? Is there some box i can click to read it?
As it is, I can't understand why on earth you didn't just go on your own. I am in my 80s and mostly go abroad on my own, its great!
But as I have no idea what you're really discussing I can't comment.

I looked back for your original thread on this.

It seems your friend has health issues which meant she was undecided about going, but had offered to reimburse you the cost of your holiday, but you didn’t expect her to.

If that were me, I would have needed to know earlier whether or not she was hoping to go, I couldn’t have left it up in the air until departure day.

I can appreciate why you didn’t want to go on your own.

Disappointing obviously. Lesson learned, no more holiday plans with her.
