Any one up for a challenge?

Hi guys, i am planning on taking my teenage twins on holiday towards the end of the summer school holidays.
I am a single parent and really desperate to find something cheap and cheerful for my girls... any help would be extremely grateful and appreciated.

Is there any of you out there that can find me a good deal please.
I am pretty flexible in my requirements... :rotfl:

Ideally what i want is:-

dates: anywhere between 22nd-25th August.

departure airport: 1) Humberside, 2) Doncaster, 3) Leeds Bradford, 4) Manchester

Location: Turkey (prefably Dalaman area but others considered)

Duration: 14 Days

Person Travelling: 1 Adult, 2 kids age 14 (twins)

Board Basis.... couldnt care less!

Star rating: Again, couldnt care less, a holidy is what ya make it!

Budget: As cheap as possible, but i do have a figure of around £700


Please please someone(s) see what they can do for me...
Waiting in anticipation here... :beer:

    julieanne - are those not the prices per person for 2 people sharing?

    I'm not entirely sure but I think the OP was quoting £700 budget total for 3 travellers?

    the reason i say 700 is because although i know prices have dramatically risen from last year, i did manage to get practically the same last year for £720.
    I priced one up about 6 weeks ago and it was showing up at £920 so i though if i waited a while i could grab it with a discount....
    Unfortunately, that particular holiday is now unavailable...

    The problem you'll find this time round is fuel charges and taxes on flights have risen sharply. Added to that you're looking at going at perhaps the most expensive time of year.

    It's the flights which are going to bump the cost up as you can get apartments for £98 for the fortnight on alpharooms!

    I've found this on first choice though which is £1080 ~ not the area you wanted, but it's Turkey! :)
