Forgot to declare a foreign trip

I recently (17 June) applied for British citizenship via NCS (work permit + tier 1 + 1 year ILR). After 2 days of that I realised I forgot to mention my switzerland trip of 2 days on the form AN. This wouldn't make any difference to the residential requirements as I'd still be within allowed limits. Should I contact the homeoffice and let them know about his
?
Please let me know if you guys have any advise.

Just a gentle bump! If you guys have any ideas/suggestions, that'll surely help me sleep better at nights!

Well I am not expert with legal matters so can only give my personal opinion. I would recommend you to contact UKBA and let them know about this instead of waiting for them to find out.

I doubt this will be an issue, if the trip was only 2 days then it actually amounts to 0 as you don't count the day you departed or returned.

It was actually 4 days. But amounts to 2 days after discarding the departure and arrival days.

You can write a letter explaining your lapse of concentration. However, providing you we're physically present in the UK 3/5 years prior to the home office receiving your application and if you meet the other requirements there shouldn't be an issue.

Lifofifo, are you seriously saying that your application for citizenship was processed in
3 weeks??

Yeah, I got it in 3 weeks. It's quite common these days if you look at the timeline threads.
