Rosieposie,
I am really pleased that your back is feeling a bit better and you've decided to go :D

I hope you have a great time, and please tell us all about it when you get back.

Well done Littleski, that is an excellent result. I checked on currency converter, and 1058 Australian dollars is £587- which is only £293 each - a bargain I reckon, for all that train travel.

I hope you have a great time, decide to come back to Europe, and next time ask us for advice about your itinerary first :D

Edit
You have to validate your TGV train tickets in France at the station before you get on the train by sticking them in a machine that looks like a yellow parking meter and says 'compostez votre billet' on it. It has a picture on it to show you which way to stick the ticket in and it makes a stamp noise when you get it in the right way. There is a fine for not stamping your ticket before you get on the train, although I have heard that ticket collectors may let foreigners off. I learnt how to use it by watching the other passengers.

Hi PSC,
If you get as far as ski-ing to Courchevel, and you see a tall, fat, middle-aged woman in black cheap salopettes, a blue jacket and a white helmet, who keeps falling over, that will be me :lol:

I hope you have a great time, even if the weather is a bit cold. At least there is plenty of snow.

Ian,
Don't cry. I knew you were joking. I mean, how can you put a plaster on a bad back anyway? And you did say 'sorry'.

I am a bit worried about Rosieposie though. Maybe she's decided to cancel her holiday and she's crying so much she can't type any more. Either that or she's laid out flat on her back and she can't type like that either.

Hopefully, her back's better and she's busy packing :D

I think, surrounded by masses of powder in all directions, I'd have to phone that number - now what was it ... :?: :lol:

Tony,
How many hours have I 'wasted' bantering wibble with you? And I've never met you either :roll:

I do actually enjoy helping people. Of course, sometimes I get paid for it, as in when I'm looking after our holidaymakers and helping them with whatever pickle they've got themselves into - but I do it anyway. We have a long tradition of helping people in my family, which I very much hope my children will continue :D

I got some in TK before Xmas, 2 pairs for £9 and they were superb to ski in and left no cheesy smell or made me sweat.
A very good purchase indeed.

Father Christmas gave me some, and now TK Maxx and I have given my daughter some :D

I'm glad to hear the socks are good quality, thanks Tony :D
