can anyone tell me whether it is better to change to euros in the uk, or on ibiza. thebest rate i can get at the moment in ukis 1.18 on the high street.
I got 1.18 as an enhanced rate from Going Places for changing £1000. You can barter with them, even the biggest high street chains.

It's better to order cash to be delivered at a later date (if you can)

I was under assumption a lot of these have to be given notice well in advance for home deliveries?

The biggest ripoff rate I saw in Leeds airport before travelling last Sunday was 1.08. Sadly people must still use these airport travel bureaus or they would not still exist.

I would say take some Sterling with you (but don't change it - for emergencies only) and use your card to take money out from ATMs. Bear in mind some banks (eg Nationwide) don't charge you anything for taking money out abroad (although some do). You tend to get the best rate this way, just remember to take out the max daily that you can otherwise, if you make (say) 5 withdrawals of 50 quid (or whatever) you will have to pay 5 separate charges. Plus you also get a good rate if you pay in shops directly with your card and often you dont get charged extra for this.
www.iceplc.com or Travelex, just order and collect from Airports. Not all airports have this facility though.
We have ordered through ice as late as four days prior to departure but best to leave longer.

Managed to get 1.1650 at Thomson today, they said they'll match any out there and slightly better it.
