ok ok ok. I'm going to get through this. I have already sent a message to the first clients asking if they can cut their holiday short by days. The only slight glimmer of hope here is that they had already asked to cut it from the 14th to the 13th for financial reasons. Cutting it by two more days will significantly decrease the total so they may be ok. I was completely honest and took full responsibility so hopefully they will be kind when they respond. I sent an email instead of calling which was kind of a wimp move, but I wanted them to have a moment to digest the news and talk with the group. I will call them tomorrow once I think they have seen it. I will be the luckiest person in the world if this goes over ok. My big worry is they have already bought plane or ferry tickets that can't be changed…..
