    You have my slightly mad car spreadsheet so that should help make some decisions.

    I've seen people cycling on the A19 before, I always feel the need to pray for them.

    I always feel the need to knock them off for being so bloody stupid :D

    I like the A2s, and my current car crush is the little VW Fox :)

    I just had to google every one of those cars! :rotfl: I like the A2 the most, but then I think it's just because it's the most girly one. Sounds like a good plan though.

    Keep on forgetting I have the hairdressers today! Made a rushed booking on Wednesday to sort my fringe out and I'm so scared I'm going to forget and not turn up :o

    Fox is lovely, I used to have a Lupo and my boss has a Fox. Bulletproof cars, nice interior and keep on going. But far too small for us, A2 is the smallest we would really consider going.

    Poolie I need to give NIM that spreadsheet it bamboozles me! Although.... wondering how much of the info I could find online and try to stick in during today.... hmmm....

    ETA: Poolie what is the spreadsheet called - can;t find it in my inbox!

  • Well it's a P&O cruise from Thomas Cook, but it's one of their Superbreak offers in the window - I couldn't see it on any of those three websites the other day, I think it's just the luck of the draw depending on where you live for what offers they have on?

    Thanks anyway! :) Me and OH spent hours (literally) last night finding out how we could get to Bruges and for how much. We live in the South West and we found a Hull - Bruges mini cruise from P&O that was about £150 for 3 of us which we were pleased with. But it would have cost us loads to get the train to Hull (about £150!) so after loads of searching we found that we could get the Eurostar to Brussels then the train to Bruges, and that's only £147! I'm well pleased cuz we're gonna go in December and so hopefully it will be all christmassy! So excited! :j

    Thanks Tete for the Bruges idea in the first place!

    Ahh sounds like a good trip Zig.

    My friend has a VW Fox, nice car but small as only has four seats.

    Don't you're tempting me! Been looking on the VW website and you can get one for £5110 with scrappage ... Augh... Poolie do you know if the scrappage thing is still running out in October?

    The scrappage thing is supposed to last a year, or until they have fileld the quota.

    Zig you might be able to get cheap eurostar ticketing if your booking early enough in advance.
