    Default Take That and day off

    When the tickets went on sale first of all I was not quick enough and they sold out. However, more became available last week and DH got them (soo excited). I have told two of my three parents that I need the day off and they have been fine, just got to tell one more. The problem is I feel really unprofessional as it is less than a months notice, what do you all think and would you have done the same as me or not bothered going?
    Why hasn't Gary Barlow come to my rescue yet?

    I only have two weeks notice of holidays in my contracts so I would say it's fine.

    As you say, two sets of parents are fine and hopefully the third set will be too.

    Stop worrying, look forward to it and enjoy!

    it's only 1 day so i wouldn't worry about it - you could have just pulled a sicky the day before and left them with no notice!
    Blessed Be!

    We were lucky enough to get tickets when they first came out and even better for a Saturday night so I havent got this problem but if I did i'm sure my parents would be ok with it.

    I hope you enjoy it. I certainly can't wait
