If you are such a family member (you don't quite say...) you obviously do not need an appointment. If you hold a residence card and travel together with the EEA family member you would not need a visa (information on the same page).

When you are traveling outside your spouse's home country (in this case the UK), then you are definitely considered the family member of an EU citizen.

Sounds like you can get the visa without an appointment. Drop down on Monday! You need to make sure you take your passport, you spouse's UK passport and your marriage certificate.
