Desperate help please!!!

I need to find a holiday, for 3 nights departing tomorrow for 2 adults for around £150pp. Going ANYWHERE! I don't mind, as long as it's in budget. I have tried teletext, last minute, icelolly, thomsons, expedia, thomas cook, lowcost and practically everywhere! Is this just a pipe dream, or can I actually get somewhere? The hubby sprung it on me about an hour ago to find somewhere to go for our anniversary.

It doesn't have to be for 3 nights, it can be for 2, or even 1, but we need to come back Tuesday morning or afternoon.

MSER's to the rescue please!!!! :money:

    Does it have to be going abroad? What bit of the country are you in?

    It doesn't have to be abroad, but I would prefer it, just to get away from all this bloomin rain! I'm in the north west, so can fly from pretty much any airport in the north west :)

    It'll be sunny in the south east this weekend (and through to tuesday if forecasts can be trusted)...you could have dinner, bed and breakfast at Uplands House in Buckinghamshire for £285 - enough left in the budget for travel and visiting some local attractions during the day.

    Hi,
    I like the website booking.com - have had good results with this. Reviews on there too and you can check them on Tripadvisor!

    Hope this helps.
