    Good point - I think its the lack of reply that's just a bit disheartening - Thanks Elsian and thanks for your bookings x

    Hi Uncle_Cuddles

    the direct price has dropped very slightly overnight to £4043 - with £161 from quidco that's £3882

    I can't do a lot better than that but at least with me it's an instant discount rather than waiting for the Quidco payout 

    So my price - all booked with TUI so like for like etc is £3837 saving you an extra £45
