A few years ago a young friend of ours drove his car to a beach barbecue and lost the one and only key somewhere in the sand. And, like you said Snowbandit, the garage had to fetch the car in order to reprogram the new key. I think it cost him over a hundred pounds. And then, a few days later he found the old key in the sand with a metal detector!
It wasn't the funeral of anyone close to me Snowbandit, but he was the grandfather of my 4 year old godson, and I spent pretty much the whole day there basically babysitting and trying to help the family through a very difficult day. Oh, and re your tortoise, I did some research beforehand on Heaven and animals because I was expecting some difficult questions from my godson, and the official party line is that animals don't have souls and don't go to Heaven, but there are plenty of Christians who are convinced their pets are up there waiting for them and there are a few wobbly bits in the bible inferring that possibly animals do go to Heaven. So, just possibly, your tortoise is up there enjoying his favourite food and frolicking in the sunshine. Ally |

Hi Snowbandit,
I'm really sorry to hear about the problem with the tortoises - I know how much you care about them. Let's hope the other ones are okay. And I sympathise with you about the other problems as well - unexpected huge bills are a real pain! Best of luck with finding your missing car key before you have to pay that enormous garage bill. One of my friends is always losing her car keys so I gave her one of those key-card finding alarms for Christmas - the keys don't half make a racket when you push the button on the card in your wallet! I hope you're feeling more positive soon and you don't chuck it all in just yet and return to the U.K. I'm feeling pretty terrible myself at the moment - I've got a simply shocking cold and I had to go to a funeral yesterday, and I can't do any work. So I've been amusing myself by thinking of naughty double entendres for the romance thread :wink: Ally |

I have tried sleeping in the economy seats on the Eurostar night train. It was total agony and I ended up spending the night on the floor in the buffet car wrapped up in my ski jacket. What we do now is go out on the day train and come back on the night train (so we can ski for 7 days) in the more luxurious standard premier seats (in which I can actually sleep) and which include supper and breakfast given to you at your seats. We went out on New Year's Eve this way and with the reduction for being a member of the Ski Club of Great Britain, and buying the tickets early when they are at their cheapest, I paid £189 per head. But the more usual price for this is £250 per head, which is quite a bit more than the plane. My younger daughter went on a uni ski trip before Christmas with Offthepiste.com which involved a planned 24 hour coach and ferry trip which turned into an actual 28 hour one because of the adverse weather conditions here in the U.K. , in the English Channel and on the roads up to the resort. She says she managed to sleep - but it would have pretty much killed me! Ally |

I don't know about left and right, but I think those double ended skis should be labelled front and back so that I don't keep trying to put them on backwards :lol:

Hi Tropicana,
I'm afraid I've decided to go on the 25th Feb with a friend, as I have holidaymakers on a short break during the week before so I will have a free day to get the place cleaned before I go off on another ski holiday. I hope you find a ski buddy and have a great time :D Ally |

Sorry, deleted it, was going to suggest Ski Club of Great Britain, but then realized you wanted advanced group lessons, not ski-ing with an advanced group.
