Big thanks to all the code crackers, at least we tried!!! Got my break for Oct half term, going to Paris again yippee!! So at least there was some availability left.
Couldn't get multiple booking on this reference so no quick weekend for my b'day in Sept in Dorset. Will have to make sure I get more reference numbers for next yr.
If we do try to do cracking again we will def need lots more people!!! Cheers for trying to get the spreadsheet to work on this.

I was not booking a holiday this time around as I already have my holidays for the year booked through previous promotions, which is what I suspect many others who usually help have also done.

And there are no Easter dates in this promotion for the time my DS is on Easter holidays, so I will wait for the next promotion.

IMO the way to get more people to take part in the code cracking is to NOT post the last word on the thread, but rather send it by pm to the code crackers, and only once the code crackers have booked their holidays should the last word be posted for the non code crackers to use.

I think this site is the only one with a team of code crackers. Other sites such as FB and mumsnet etc monitor this forum and then post the last word to FB, mumsnet, etc. once it has been cracked by the people on this forum. So if the last word was not freely available immediately that it becomes know more people might be motivated to help crack that last word, including the spies from other sites.

Thanks to those who posted the codes!
Easter break for next year back to the IOW - first choice dates and park!!!
Just to let anyone know - Red Funnel ferries are not yet taking bookings for next year - so you have to wait til November time to book your ferry!

Nightmare!!! My Priority Code isn't working!!!!! Aaaarrrrrgggh stayed up all this time too. It keeps saying invalid code and they sent me this code back in May to me via email.
ANYONE GOT A SPARE PRIORITY CODE THEY CAN PM ME PLLLLEEEEAAASEEEEEEEEE

I had code from May that I hadn't used tried to input it to book another but it won't accept. Code I did book on was sent out in July, so maybe they've cancelled old references. Seems you will def need reference that they've issued this time round in July.
I tried the old ref as it wouldn't accept the multiple bookings.

Wholeheartedly agree Springdreams. Will have to be more organised for Jan promo. Will have to set out the rules at the first page of thread.

Need a more dynamic "Who's done what" register too. A google docs spreadsheet which is open to people to update on-line should do the trick.

Thanks to all the people that stayed up, next time ill be using my pc from the start as my laptop was super slow on the code cracking, managed to get kiln park for October half term and devon cliffs for the Easter break, both Friday to Monday, my children will be happy with that.

As you all know I tried to book Oct half term last night and couldn't get anything.

This morning I tried again just on the off chance and managed to book Seaview. Could only get a standard but at least we're going on hols...! woohoo! :beer:

I find that its normally cheaper normally to go standard and then upgrade with Haven, so worth still trying to upgrade, when you get the bill through

Deffo. The thread got extremely confusing at one point. (Maybe everyone being extremely tired had something to do with it!)

And I don't suppose the Sun will ever go back to nice plain four letter words now will they. Bet the next one will be LNNL or something equally horrible.

Would you be willing to put such a thing together please Pealy?

Just wanted to pop in and say a huge thank you to everyone who contributes to this forum.


It has meant that I can book a couple of breaks away each year.


I got the dates & park I wanted first try. I've been on several Sun holidays over the years and have always had the best weather. Now people will have you think that the Sun never shines up here in Scotland, but I've never had anything but!! So if you fancy somewhere sunny, interesting & with stunning views, you won't go far wrong with booking a holiday up here.


I'd personally recommend Tummel Valley or Grannies Heilan Hame. But this time round I'm going for Nairn, and I'm hoping I won't be disappointed!!
