So this morning (Monday), the kids and I took a trip up to Morrison’s (yes, yet another, but my first) and got a bigger order. We hauled this back in all our backpacks and such, which isn’t too bad. Bikes with the buggy should make that a lot easier down the road. After lunch, we went out to the bus stop very close to our bungalow and bought 7 day megarider tickets, which get us on any Corby buses, as well as the buses running to Kettering. Kettering is where we will catch the train to London; we have two days planned for sight-seeing this week. We rode up to Towne Centre to acquaint ourselves with the shops. Towne Centre was very much like an outdoor mall, with two levels. We went through a few stores to see what they were like, and went into a couple cell phone stores to get their booklets on phones and calling plans. Right now it looks like I will get an iPhone (free with monthly plan) and will have minutes, texts, and wireless internet access. We have to look at it a little closer first though. We will also be keeping the Orange phone that Blue Wave bought us - which is a Top Up & Go type.
Then we went up to the second level where the Corby library was and registered for cards and got in some much-needed internet use. Online we bought our train tickets for both Thursday and Saturday trips to London. I also checked out every book on London that I found in the library!

Beware - there are caps on how much you can download with all data plans in Europe. If you go over you get charged by the MB. THis is not just for "downloading" (i.e. saving files to your phone), even your normal viewing of web pages counts against it. Read the T&C carefully.
Yes, I've seen some info on the limits in the booklets we got, but have not examined them carefully yet. I think there was one monthly plan that said unlimited, but I will have to look closer.
