Process old films

Hi I'm hoping you good people can help me. When we moved house I came across a box of old 35mm films from around 2003.

Where is the cheapest place to get them developed? Not had a film developed in years since going digital. :)

    I got mine done at a local Max Spielman outlet, they were much cheaper than Boots.
    I asked nicely and got all the films possible put onto 1 CD which helped keep the price down, I did it this way rather than get the actual photographs as I wanted to use them in their digital form anyway :)

    This was a couple of years ago so I'm not sure about current prices.

    How well were these films stored? You may find the quality of any developed images is very poor and not worth the expense. Have you any idea what they contain?

    Not really sure what's on them but am interested to find out. I think one is from an old holiday.

    They have been kept in the little black containers you get with them in the back of a dry cupboard.
