I agree I booked them then trains (cos the sooner they are booked the cheaper they are, and also rooms), and I had spent over 200 quid before I had even asked my boss if I could have time off work, even now I can't have holiday but he said he would change my shift with someone else so I will have to work that shift later in the week.
Tomorrow I am at work ALL day, (I had to work bank holiday to get extra money to help pay for it and also cos we get an extra days holiday that I needed to get or they take it off us). so if it is announced before 5-6 tomorrow afternoon, and it's a gig I could have gone to but missed out cos I was at work.... I will be extremely upset. But I think it will be in France anyway, it usually is.
