As a result of an impromptu decision to take the family for a white xmas instead of waiting until our trip in Feb has resulted in us only having 25 days to go :P

Now I am woriied with all the green showing on the webcams too :cry:

Ok guys, I need help!

After a couple of glasses the other night we decided we would take a week at xmas to go to wherever we could get the best deal and flights. After looking for 2 days solid I managed to get flights and a good deal to Scheffau in Austria :D

Problem - I have hardly done any exercise since last ski trip (and I remember how my legs felt for the first few days then!) as it is very hot where we live (UAE) we do not go outside much in the autumn/summer/spring. I do a fair bit of water skiing but that is mainly upper body exercise.

Can someone give me an idea of an intensive workout keeping in mind my fitness level to prepare me for th trip in exactly 25 days!

We will rock you - Queen
guaranteed to get the arms clapping & feet stomping in rhythm.

Alice - Smokey
not for the easily offended.

Go on add some really cheesy bad europoo to the list. It's what we all listen to on holiday.

Hi finn

I think you mean Alice by Dr Hook, Smokey sang the 'clean' version and Dr Hook knocked it up a couple of levels. My 7 year old sings it as '
Alice, Alice, who the beep is Alice' He thinks it is hilarious - am I a bad parent :oops:

I must admit, I do like apres ski music - sets the tone for the night :D

Thanks Tony H - best not to ask to take a look at it before dinner then :shock:

Thanks you guys for the best laugh I have had in a while :P Curious to kinow what the pm was all about...........
