    You wont find it on their website as it is a phone price via teletext.

    Yeah, spoke to them overthe phone. On their website the holiday is more expensive, and the transfers are £32 each instead of the £20 quoted on phone. holiday is on teletext.com if you search. There are holidays for similar cost through icelolly.com, only a £5 or so difference. Just wondering if there were any cheaper
