if we try and look at the positive side................there has to be one surely?.....................now that some people have given up and decided to book with the Mail, theres a few more holidays for us up for grabs

Another positive thought ..... while I'm on here i'm not browsing ebay - that must save a few pennies too!!!

I will do L

but like Mr Doo says , at what time? , I still have this funny feeling they won't activate the last code word until sometime after 18:00 today

i also gave a priority code to someone on hotukdeals that my mum wasnt using and they managed to book last night and i cant, thats life and nothing i can do to change it

You could still use that code, they are letting people book more than 1 holiday! I have just this minute booked my sister an extra holiday using her friend's code which has already been used.

Use your mum's code yourself

You'd be better off ringing and begging to know what time the code words was going to be added to the system. Until its on the system theres no point trying to guess it.

The correct word has probably been tried several times already but because they haven't entered it onto the system we cant guess it.

Just rang them and asked just that, they said that non-rockers can book as soon as they have saturdays code word, so what time do papers go to print for tomorrow? Anyone know a printer for the paper?

For myself I'm not too unhappy about not having a ROCK code, we can book most dates and don't have potentially unhappy kids to answer to! We collected tokens before now too and I remember the days of no online booking - we've been going on Sun hols since the 90s. I also might have tried booking with The Mail but they don't have the parks we prefer to go to.

My point was I can't see what The Sun were thinking about, what have they done except annoy a large bunch of their customers?

I'm not too bothered about the fact that some have an extra advantage (the ROCK code) as I reckon they've done it to stagger applications on the site. What does peev me off though is that theyre booking two holidays before the rest of us are even getting chance to book one.

I had rock on my priority form and could'nt get access to the site and felt quite frustrated. I did manage to in the end but took over 2 hours trying to gain access but it kept saying my ref no was wrong even though it was right. got other OH out of bed to check it and it was right. I did'nt realise they used different codes on the priority form either.

Aw bless, hope he/she better soon. My daughter has the flu so I'm in between cuddles etc

Thanks, it's my little girl and she doesn't have much luck with her health, we nearly lost her to pneumonia and an empyema 2 years ago. I have been up for nearly 75 hours solid at the minute so looking at this through eyes that are very blurred and burning, but got to do what you can, been booking sun holidays once or twice a year for the last 12 years and taken them a bit for granted as a little extra break since we went abroad too, but have relied on them as our only time away for the last couple of years as the recession has hit my hubby really hard and I have had a lot of time out of work with my little ones constant rounds of illness, can't believe that The Sun has stitched up it's regulars like this!

By the way all, I may be a newbie, but have come on this site for a balanced point of view for various things over the last couple of years, but never got round to registering...must say though that I am really enjoying participating for the first time on here.

I can't believe we wouldn't have guessed it by now, people have been guessing since early last night. In previous years (and last night too) the one code has always been guessed by now - I still think the site's database won't accept Saturdays code until some Sun person sets the database (or software) so it does so.

ah, I have tried again but no joy. Off to do essentials and work lunchtime then will try again this pm before I go to work at 5pm. Got a feeling it will happen while I'm not here!
