    Yes, went for the Botley Park (well booked that one and the other one, but will cancel the other one now)
    Getting train down, stopping off at Bourgh Market in London for a few hourse en-route, then train to Southampton, and taxi to hotel. I think I have to pay for my taxi to the port, but they do do packages on their website which include parking and transfers. I believe it includes breakfast.

    Yes you are East coast - we are west - our normal route is to Crewe change at Stafford (easier than Birmingham New Street) and then get the train straight through to Southampton Central - its a train that starts off I think at Newcastle.

    We have once gone through London - horrific

    Do they have Uber in Southampton? If you don't already have an account there's often codes for free credit floating around. Might make that taxi to the port fee as well then :D

    I was just wondering that as well - I think there is something about uber on the 02 priority app to get £20 credit for a first time usage????

    just used Uber a few weeks ago when we went to see eldest child - very useful and she says uber is everywhere :D

    It might just be a glitch, my iPad wouldn't update last night for the same reason

    Just wondering if you tried the toblerone last night please :D

    I did venture to sada last night but sadly no large ones in the little ex netto so couldn't try. Plus didn't fancy a 10 mile round trip to the larger store! !!
    Why, does it work???????
