NO!!
I have to go to work at 1pm. A man did ring though and is driving very fast up from cambridge to Derbyshire as we speak, so fingers crossed. Only 6 hours till we leave! Have to go and pack quickly.
We are the ones with a 9 year old in a shiny lilac coat and a 7 year old in an orange coat.

I'm still nervous about ours arriving, fingers crossed it will come after 5pm with no problem.

Hope your car arrives soon. The guy was really late delivering my car. I did feel really sorry for him as he had already driven 100's of miles dropping off other cars all around the country. I had to go to work too but the guy did keep calling me for a heads up on where he was. Fingers crossed for you!

I'm shocked if its one man who is dropping off all the cars, how on earth does he get home after he has dropped off the car? Poor guy.

He catches public transport back.... my brother in law had a similar job a few years ago dropping brand new cars off... all expenses for travel paid etc.

So you filled up the whole car then:rotfl:

I'm coming with my daughter who is 3, my friend Karen and I'm bringing one of my friends 15 year old daughter. So all good fun:p

Still waiting for my jacket

Grrrrrr!

Gotta go to work now too.

I think hubby has a fluorescent yellow jacket somewhere, will have to go and look for it. Can't wait in any longer now.

We have 6 in our car, I'm glad I didn't fill up the extra space now as those back 2 seats are quite difficult to get in and out of!

Hi Sally

I am sure you will be fine... what time is your crossing tomorrow? We are 7:35am, if you are around at that time you can follow us if you don't have SatNav in your car. We were up late last night trying to find France maps for our SatNav. Finally got it sorted so hopefully our trusted friend will get us there safely.

I had a little look on Eurotunnel website, never travelled on it before and you can check in with just your reference number using a booth of somesort and it will have all the details of your booking. The hotel will have a carpark. Just go in and give your name etc and then when you have all your keys and things, grab a trolley to put all your bags on to take up to your room (or into the storage area of the hotel - depending on your arrival time).

We are hoping to receive our headlight stickers today too.

Good luck and have loads of fun. Hope to see you there.

Thank you for your reassurance! I am certainly not a confident traveller!

:rotfl:

We are booked on the noon train, we borrowed a sat nav that has never HEARD of Disney but we did get the vest and warning thing arrive just now by Special Delivery.

Will need to go to Halfords if the lamp things don't arrive.......our post usually comes after 3pm and sometimes as late as 7pm :eek:

Hubby hasn't driven abroad for nearly 30 years........it's gonna be an interesting day
