I've since figured out that 4 may be the best for me so I ask for it. I'm now obsessive about weighing us all before we travel. It could be the difference between injury or not.

Dont fly Ryanair then, you'll get charged excess baggage :wink:

Aw, Caron!
Anyway, in Blachfelders ski hire there is a weigh scale, normally unused. When you fill in your hire form, you are invited to give your height, weight, age, ability. When an incredulous look appears on the face of the Techie, followed by a "please step on the scales, madam", (it's never a guy, we know what we weigh!) Followed by a plaintive, "Oh, I think I must have a lot of ski clothing on."

Yeah, right.

Again, I hope that Harriet Harperson isn't a J2skier, else I'll be put in the Tower. :wink:

So should I weigh myself in full ski gear, including boots & rucksack?

That's what I always do (minus the rucksack because I haven't got one). My sister refused to believe she could weigh as much as the scales in the ski hire shop said, and she stripped down so she was practically standing in her underwear :lol:
