Now I must get a life......

3. No bras (I never wear them - most stupid unnecessary item ever invented).

Ally,
Have to disagree with that statement!

You are very lucky if you don't need one.

Nuff said.

Hi,
Are you driving?

If so you can save money by taking a fair bit of food with you. We take clothes in those storage bags that you vacuum the air out, leaving more room in the car for food.

We go to the Grand Massif a lot, the skiing is great. It can get expensive buying lunch out on the slopes every day. If money is a consideration buy some baguettes and ham, make yourself a sandwich and enjoy it sat among the trees at the bottom of the slopes in Flaine. Pure heaven!
We even take a flask of coffee!

Mmmmmm...notice the sell out risk on that item is Low... wonder why.

Indeed. It's like hip and groovy and well smart and all that. And this is like us to them - tweet. And this is like them to us - tweet. It's like birds, innit.

Someone likes Armstrong and Miller I reckon.

That's good news Admin as we're heading there (again) this Easter.

It was always quite slow to get to the top of Tete De Saix but it never bothered us too much as we just savoured the atmosphere. However, the old chairs were quite vicious and many a time we got banged in the backs of the legs.

Hi eamorese,
You mention Alagna - if it were me and I was a beginner I would not go there.

Although it is a fantastic place to ski it is challenging and the lifts are sometimes closed due to strong winds and blizzards (were when we went - never been so cold or disoriented). It was great though! I love that feeling of battling against the elements.

If you are heading that way I think Champoluc or Gressoney may suit you better, but I've never stayed at either of those places.

For the last 3 hours I've been reading an overview of the NHS Knowledge & Skills Framework & have subsequently lost the will to live :(

Salski,
I read The Island and enjoyed it too. I'd be interested to hear what anyone thinks of her next book, The Return, though.
It was not as good - too full of coincidences. (I've put you off reading it now!)


Am currently reading a book by Mary Higgins Clark, not fantastically well written, but an easy read. Reading is one of main enjoyments and I reckon I read 3 books on average a month.
