Using the RMC search button I found this gem.

Leave purchase option

Over and above standard entitlements, employees with less than 20 years' service will have the chance to
increase their holiday entitlement to (or towards) 6 weeks per year, by foregoing an element of basic pay.
This will offer those employees who might find it attractive to take more time off from work, earlier in their
career, additional annual holidays in lieu of pay. This choice must be exercised for at least one whole leave
year, and for each whole week of additional leave the basic pay will be adjusted by 2%. The maximum holiday
entitlement that may be gained in this way is six weeks per year. Obviously once the higher level of leave
becomes an entitlement through service, or if the employee opts to return to their standard entitlement, pay
is then adjusted back upwards.

and you need to see your manager.

You need to see your dom straight away about this, the cut off date for this year is the end of this month so you need to get him to sort it very quickly

You can buy it, but youll be more than bloody lucky if you get the dates you want. Folks in our office can hardly get 4 weeks in weeks and end up taking days to get their full quota if they have bought extra leave.
