should I stay or should I go???

Hmmm am so tied on whether to drive to Derby from Cornwall tomorrow(xmas day), I have all the winter essential packed for the journey to keep kids happy and warm and they are sooo excited to see their dad, but everyone around me keeps telling me not to chance it..
I'm so tied, I think the weather forecast seems settled, no major snowfalls predicted,
The main roads we take are A30, M5, M42,A38
We will be leaving at about 10am tomorrow morning and hoping to arrive early evening give or take a few hours for slow driving
Any advice welcome.

    The Missus's Daughter and Boyfriend drove from West Wales to Fife in Scotland through the night without any incident in their VW Passat.
    I know there's only a couple of roads there you will share on your run compared to theirs but using that as an example that the powers that be have finally got things sorted and the main roads are ok.
    So long as we don't get a huge dollop of snow in the west country you'll be fine.

  • I'm going up north too - I think it should be ok - not sure about getting back next week though!
  • Yes I think there is a dollop forecast for boxing day here in the sw, Oh well, so long as I get there the ex may have to endure me for longer than he had hoped:rotfl:

  • We are actually staying at the kids dad's (ex), for the first time in 9 years, I plucked up the courage to ask if we could stay at his house, as when he visits cornwall he has been having a spare key and the sofabed rather than pay for a hotel, we get on ok and the fact that I have a mild case of OCD is helping as he knows he will have the house in tip top shape by the time I go home, Oh an not forgetting a full belly of home cooking most nights, failing that we'll probably have one too many on xmas night and laugh about how we have come full circle in 9 yrs,like, love... hate.... like!!!!!
    Merry xmas and good luck with any xmas journeys xx

    Might help :D

    Darling you got to let me know
    Should I stay or should I go?
    If you say that you are mine
    I’ll be here ’til the end of time
    So you got to let me know
    Should I stay or should I go?

    Always tease tease tease
    You’re happy when I’m on my knees
    One day is fine, next day is black
    So if you want me off your back
    Well come on and let me know
    Should I stay or should I go?

    Should I stay or should I go now?
    Should I stay or should I go now?
    If I go there will be trouble
    An’ if I stay it will be double
    So come on and let me know!

    This indecision’s bugging me
    Esta indecision me molesta
    If you don’t want me, set me free
    Si no me quieres, librame
    Exactly who’m I’m supposed to be
    Dime que tengo que ser
    Don’t you know which clothes even fit me?
    ¿sabes que ropas me quedan?
    Come on and let me know
    Me tienes que decir
    Should I cool it or should I blow?
    ¿me debo ir o quedarme?

    Split!
    Yo me enfrio o lo sufro

    Should I stay or should I go now?
    yo me enfrio o lo sufro
    Should I stay or should I go now?
    yo me enfrio o lo sufro
    If I go there will be trouble
    Si me voy - va a haber peligro
    And if I stay it will be double
    Si me quedo es doble
    So you gotta let me know
    Pero me tienes que decir
    Should I cool it or should I go?
    yo me enfrio o lo sufro

    Should I stay or should I go now?

    Have a nice day :)
  • The dual carriage/motorways should be clear of any ice/snow as they are gritted. I think the roads should be pretty much clear as not many travel on xmas day. Check the traffic report before you depart so are aware of any incident in the route you are travelling. Have a safe journey.
