Woul doyu consider going on the 14th?
I knowmost schools have a teacher training day first day backafter any holiday so they would only lose 1 day (if they do) or 2 days.
heres the deals just incase

Nice work Sloppy...Just been talking to Chris (re sisters holiday) and this web site https://www.trustaccommodation.com is one of the ones he uses, If the place you are priceing up check to see if its on there , hes just shave £120 off the best net price I could find for Le Merdien Makadi Bay AI, sticks in ya throat to say good things about him...lol opps sorry Chris. But I have to hold my hand up and say its worth checking with him if its a put together thingy.
For a holiday down from 922 down to £800 including transfers I think hes done a cracking job...shot me for plugging him if you will be credit where credits due
Have I lost my board cred? Did I ever have any?

PS ...Sorry but us mere mortals cant price up on the web site...Trade Only
