Training Overseas

Hope someone can help.
I had to stop flying a couple of years ago now for financial reasons (I was skint!!) Just before I did, I flew my first solo. This is where I am up to. I have since tried to get a couple of hours a year and fly with some freinds in the right hand seat from time to time.

Now then, come the New Year, I should be able to scrape enough together to complete my training. It is my intention to get back to first solo standard and pass all the ground exams before I go anywhere to complete the ppl.

So I am looking for advice as to where to go. The sticking point is that most schools, certainly the USA ones, want 3 weeks. I only get 4 weeks holidays a year from work, coupled with the fact that this would not impress the missus one jot, I really need somewhere that will train and skills test me in 2 weeks or less if possible.

I am not against going to America, but I would prefer to stay in Europe if possible. Any advice anyone???
