From previous experience sleep doesn't come easily on the Eurostar! So not counting that night as a sleep.

Thanks for the explanation Andyhull :D

Do you want me to change it or leave it as Friday 18th Jan? I mean, it doesn't really matter, it's only for a bit of fun really :lol:

My Excel sheet is counting days, not sleeps! I know Excel is very clever but it can't know in advance whether or not you're going to sleep on the Eurostar night train. I know I couldn't when I went in the cheap seats - I ended up sleeping lying on the floor in the buffet car all night. So after that we went 'premium economy' I think it's called - so we had more leg room and reclining seats with head rests and bigger seats.

I certainly don't sleep on the train much, we take wine to pass the time and hope for a few hours sleep before being turfed off the train at some un-godly hour. And then we go skiing.

Hi Ally, I don't usually do the 'sleeps till...' thing but now you have laid it out so well I have realised I only have 89 to go till St Foy!!!
Thanks for raising the excitement level :)
