hmmmm maybe i should offer the rugby club that i work at some money for the 12 bottles we have as it isn't selling! :P
I won a bottle of tequila in a raffle the other week so that's coming along also!
We're stopping in a big supermarket before making the climb up the mountain so i can get stuff there!
I only need to cook 5 nights so lots of pasta isn't going to cost much! Planning on eating breakfast brunch things that you get from sainsbury's, basically potato and bacon in this tin foil wrapper, can be kept in a cupboard for months so will stock up on that before i leave, only takes 10mins in the frying pan! Basically thinking around £50 on food for the week (going to try and eat as little for lunch as possible) and about £250 on nights out drinking!
Waiting to go.

My Val Thorens trip had a basic cost of £319 inc lift pass, accom and travel. Not bad, until you add on the extras, £70 for ski hire, £40 for lift pass extension, couple of nights out £40 deposit etc etc so it came to £480 plus a returnable damage deposit of £40. Plus on top of that food and drink (drink will be lots as its a uni trip, with around 2000 students in VT at the same time!) so looking at a fair bit more! The advantages of coach though being that there's no weight limits, so i can stock up on foods to take with me!
