    Yes there is, the line that says 'cost of a 4 year old'.... thats the age car we intend to get. Thats not the emotional and upholstery cost of sticking a 4 year old in the back seat!

    OK, so using your logic

    It should be ((7 year old - 4 year old)/4 year old) *100

    Hmmmm true. But then again I think he'll just be so chuffed I started trying to sort out the cars AND I called another 10 venues on my lunchbreak he won't care. Admittedly one of the venues thought I was simple since he's already called and booked us in.... but I booked into 7 of them!

    Hang on, I see a deal in the travel agent and now it would seem everyone's booked up to go and I'm not :rolleyes: Hoorah for all the good deals though, looks like we'll be getting the £189 one as OH's a birthday grinch!

    :rotfl: Everyone seems to have a grinch in some form! Are you still going on the cruise deal Tete?

    I can't believe we got it for such a good price!

    Zigmeister - I can share your excitement now!

    We wanted to go so close to Xmas cos me and OH are such Xmas fans! We love everything to do with it. We also want to pack in as much before the baby arrives and I have always wanted to go on the Eurostar!

    You're lucky that your OH shares your love of xmas! I keep getting told off cuz I'm getting excited about xmas! :rolleyes: A good idea to do lots before the bub arrives! :santa2:

    Poolie, I don't know how it happened, but I managed to get the tickets for £66.50 for 3 of us! I checked about a billion times to see the times were right and it appears so! I can't thank you enough for your help! :beer:

    I know why Zig. I forgot that the Nationalexpress site shows the total cost when you go to buy the tickets.

    So the £20 from London to Bristol is actually £10 each!

    D'Oh!
