Plus, I don't need ski hire or those pole things.
Oh yeah, and I won't be here either as I am a little tied up this next week.
Good luck to everyone.

Does having Glide Cracks mean I can go clothes shopping?

I had heard rumours about Wickers having a certain fetish, but never thought to see it out in the open! :twisted:
I have already won one of the prizes, so will also refrain from entering. Good luck to everyone else.

I can't think why you're sulking - at least you're about to head off skiing. All I've got to look forward to is driving to Norfolk in the morning with my mother-in-law:evil: OH has gone on ahead, so I'll have to talk to her too! I never win anything either - but remember, there have to be losers so that there can be winners!
