Hang on right one minute.

You take the mickey about my yoga and then witter on about whether your car alloys are shiny enough. :roll:

My alloys are covered in a permanent film of brake dust and grime.

Just back from my weekly yoga session :-) (stop giggling at the back.....)

I'm now as loose as a goose.

I am genuinely interested..but (!) we (myself, wife and 2 children) are skiing Val d"isere and Tignes at New Year. I don't think I would necessarily want to go to Tignes again in the same season, especially if it ends up being a January trip.....There are lots of other places on my list (including Chamonix). To be honest, having experienced both VDI and Tignes, I would choose VDI every time as a base. Skiing is great in both resorts but Val d'Isere town is much more pleasant (and expensive!)

Regarding dates early Feb was our initial target for a 2nd holiday.

However, if it ends up being Tignes in March and we have skied twice by then and we have enough skiing disposable income left then it could be feasible. I know there are a few ifs and buts in the preceding sentence but at least we are very flexible regarding taking time off for holidays.

I'm a fairly new "j2skier" but I think a j2ski trip would be great fun. As snapzzz has said, ability levels and aspirations will differ and a good mix of people is probably fairly critical.

I'll keep a close eye on progress....

Well considering i injured it xmas week i think i have done ok.
It was just the fact that it was refusing to heal that made me seek proper advice. My dad had to have a joint replacement in his finger not so long back and it looks a mess.
Even though i knew there would be nothing they could do i'd rather be told that now than risk damaging it further.

Anyhow, the joint is just all banged up, they said only time will possibly heal it but it could be a year before it feels normal.

Now that you've taken my jokey post out of context I look mean and heartless :( :( :(

Oh I don't know bedrock ...
:mrgreen:

What, you mean I was too kind with my mean comments?

Yep...we had one day's free use of the pool/leisure centre thingy in Val d"isere but I just couldn't be bothered!
