Just had large plate of crispy shredded beef with fried rice (beef more sticky than crispy, seems to be a common fault hereabouts) and am thinking about my forthcoming holiday.

I'd be grateful for your recommendations of web sites that do good, cheap, last-minute deals on holidays.

In your own time, then...

What type of holiday? Are you after sun, or snow at this time of year. I know some great skiing websites.

www.earnalow.co.uk

www.igluski.com

www.ifyouski.com

Just try doing google searches on budget holidays, you get loads of stuff.

Teletext is always well worth a look too.

Thanks, but skiing is a no-no for me. Doctor's orders, ya see.

I've tried googling but there's no way of responding other than ploughing through, which is very time consuming. I was hoping that the Forumites might have experience which would save me a lot of time.

Sorry, only really experience of skiing stuff.

Iglu do have another part of the site, just www.iglu.com, which covers other stuff, and teletext are always pretty good. What sort of thing are you looking for? Sun, sea & sand, adventure, sightseeing, shopping, nightlife, there's all sorts of specialist companies out there who offer really good deals when you're after something specific.

Ive never liked the whole package idea so in the past Ive used www.cheapflights.co.uk for a flight and googled for cheap hotel in whatever destination seems like a good idea

jivetime for great weekend breaks at exotic destinations like Camber Sands

loverly sandy beaches (with plenty of hide away sand dunes where it has been known for people to get up to all sorts

)

surrounded by local hostelries where a decent beer

and very generous pub lunches

can be purchased

and the people you meet there

and would you beleive it

some of them can even dance

what more could you want

so keep the early weekends of may and November free
