    Well my spreadsheet macro works, but you've got the code anyway :)

    Hope everyone gets what they wanted.

    ETA: I couldn't get what I wanted. I wasn't sure if I would, because Haven's website won't let you book for 12th November at burnham on sea, but my mum has already booked it over the phone.

    we have never been to Butlins as have been waiting to be dog free...

    so this was my first time trying to book Butlins - so if you book half board you can ring and take it off? but if they say no i need to be prepared to pay the half baord do you know how much it is?

    and if you take it off do you still get a room with self catering facilities? or just a room only?

    i need to explore tips for booking butlins a bit more ready for the next round of booking!

    Well we did book half board last time thinking it was cheaper than it was. So we rang and took it off, no problems at all. When you choose half board, they allocate literally a room - no kitchen facilities at all, not a lounge or anything. So we upgraded to silver accommodation which had a lounge and small kitchen. I think it cost about £60 but it was well worth it.

    Fingers crossed I can take off half board again this time around!
