MICHELLE YOU WILL LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS:

THOMAS COOK PHONED ME TODAY AND SUMMER 2011 PRICES GO ON SALE IN THE UK ON 29TH APRIL 2010.... ONLY 28 DAYS TO GO :-) YIPEE!!!!!

bet u will both be straight in there :-) A TIP - do go in the first day as we went in 4 days after the prices came out and a group booking had already taken the 2 weeks we wanted at the end of jan and there was no availability for another group booking as we needed 7 rooms and they only had 4 left so we had to bring our dates forward a week and that as i say was after the prices had only been out 4 days! Also when Thomson were showing no availabilty we said we would try at Thomas Cook instead (the TA we saw is one of FI mates wife) she said we all have the same system so we can check their room availability as well and she showed us on their screen so you dont need to keep going from one TA to the next. If you haggle with them which we did they will give you on the online prices and not the ones in the brochure so make a note of these prices as well as they are always cheaper. You really do need to go in with def numbers in mind though as they can give you an exact quote and they held these for us for 4 working days before they were released - we had to be quite firm with people and say 'are you coming or not no faffing around' - lol. This really was the most stressful part we have come across so far - FI walked out after arguing with his bro on the phone - i suddenly became the mediator. Also they will only want numbers and yours and your FI name the rest of the guests as this stage are just numbers and there names can be changed right up until 6 weeks before you go - which is handy if someone drops out and someone else joins which is what happened to us. Other than that its a walk in the park.
Ill be thinking of u on the 29th u will have to let me know how you get on.
