Well this is a weird one... (and a bit Doystoyesvsky length)
and a bit of a bloke-y one too. It's my birthday a week on Monday, and I booked the week off ages ago, wanting to go back to my hometown and see my parents, my brother and sister, my grandparents and my best mate, none of whom I have actually seen in person for months... I had a full itinerary planned for getting the train up to Huddersfield next Sunday, having a meal with my mum, bro and sis, then on the Monday going over to Hull to see my mate, having a birthday-booze up with him as he's got the Monday and Tuesday off, then going back to Hudds to see my dad and grandparents before coming back down here for a barbeque with my friends before they all leave for summer.

Now my favourite football team, Huddersfield Town FC, have thrown a spanner in the works- they've just made the 3rd division play-offs final in Cardiff, which is on my birthday. I'm really happy and want to go, but it would mean I wouldn't have enough time (or money) to go see my family and my best mate as well- I'd just see my brother who'll be going to the match. The next chance I'll get would be in August. I know the game should be on TV but there's no subsitute for being there- however if we lose I'll end up wishing I'd gone ahead with the original plan. Who should come first?
