    I'd go for more like £250-£300 ?

    It could well be. I am trying to think what I would realistically pay for it as a good mser, because I always look for the cheapest way of doing things. If no-one objects, I will put it down as £150.

    The nicest bit for me is how excited my dd is. She has been asking to go to France for about a year now, and I have jokingly said 'only if I win the trip'. :rotfl:

    I am wondering how easy it is to get to Paris and Disneyland from Le Harve? We could make this part of our main holiday.This makes it more realistic and of more value to me, coming from scotland.

    Thanks emily. Any suggestions for accomodation in Portsmouth?

    I looked on the website and the ferry works out at £96 for dates I want, so probably £150 would be a conservative MSE estimate. Does that sound fair to everyone else to put in my signature?

    It would depend on how much you wanted to spend. There are quite a few Travelodge type places that are based around the city centre which should be quite reasonable and a good location for you to get around cheaply. The Ibis hotel is very centrally located. There is a Marriott but that's on the outskirts of town and probably more expensive.

    If you find a hotel and want to know about the location then I would be happy to help - just send me a PM :D

    I would say it's worth much more than £150. I should imagine the hotel for 1 night with breakfast would be around another £80-£100 plus you have got tickets for attractions and another meal too. I would say it's worth £300-£350.

    I would put down £300 for the challenge if it were me. You should be able to make 10 times your internet costs at this rate ;)

    Congratulations, what a fantastic prize.:T

    Completed the comping challenge for 2007 in three days, I think that deserves a prize in itself!:T
