I agree about getting time to yourself, I probably sound a bit unsociable but I work in Bournemouths biggest pharmacy for the biggest company in Europe. I have some-one hassling me all day every day, the phone rings every minute and I have to be so professional and full of sympathy and always smiling. I have 70 drug addicts every day to give their daily dose to, the shop is always full of screaming kids, shoplifters, addicts and obnoxious OAP,s. The company is on at you permantley to meet targets, dont overspend do this, do that. On top of that I have to do 3 hours extra study per week, document it and send it to the Pharmaceutical society for marking or I will be struck off the register. So some-times I hate people I just want to get away from them and the phone and do exactly what I want, when I want. Hence why we do the sort of holidays we do.

I know the cost of living is a bit higher in Finland, so expect to pay quite a bit for eating and drinks. Also will have to get to Gatwick whereas we normally fly local from Bournemouth. But we wanted something a bit different this year, we will have been married 10 years and wanted a bit of 'us' time. We thought we had a bargain, 'cos we normally pay about £1400 for the two of us to Seefeld in hotel. I guess I shall have to do more research from every-one on J2 next time.
When people on here do catered chalets do you go with groups of friends or do you share with strangers? Not one of our friends or family would ever consider having that sort of holiday they are all summer holidays, hot sun and beaches, so have always been wary of sharing chalets with strangers. Enlighten me some-one. |

My son is an LTA tennis coach, he coaches a lot of kids, some with talent and some whose parents think they will be the next Wimbledon champ. They always ask for feedback on their progress. He always says ' They have reached their potential', parents think thats great, what it means is, 'Thats as far as they are going to go'

On my first snowboard lesson the instructor said ' You have a natural talent'. I think he meant 'You have a natural talent???, cos its not snowboarding.

Have just got invoice for next January,s trip. Going to Ruka and trying self catering for the first time. We think the price is excellent. Trip includes: BA flights from Gatwick to Kussomo, plus half hour coach transfer to resort. 4 person luxury log cabin, with d washer, w machine, sauna, log fire, drying room, m wave, c machine, tv, radio, dvd player etc, linen, cleaning etc. Had to pay supplements ,cos there,s only the two of us. Hire of thermal boots and suits for the week, it will be a lot colder than we have been used to. Three quite expensive pre-booked trips, husky safari, reindeer safari, and snowmobile excursion. Use of snowmobile for the week. We did get £280 discount for earlybird booking and internet booking. Total cost £980 for the two of us. I know this does not include lift passes, food etc but I still think thats not a bad price. We do not usually buy weekly lift passes because 1 day we ski, the next we hike up a mountain and board back down, then we might rent sledges for a day and mess around, then we might have a day of cross country ski. We just do what we feel like, so buy appropriate pass by the day. If what I am led to believe Ruka has one of the cheapest lift passes of all. |
