    Well, am £279 lighter in pocket this afternoon having just bought DS a new pair (much needed I have to say) of ski boots.......

    In return, he has made me a cup of coffee.......methinks the boy has got off lightly!

    I was thinking of you today as I played on the ski slope on my wii fit - I can even fall off that - rolling down in a snowball - dread to think WHAT I could do if let loose on real skis :eek::eek: - think I'll leave that along with the running to you Hypno ;)

    I know my limits :p

    FF - I am lucky in that as a catering student, he does more than his fair share of the cooking in this house!

    Milann, my two (along with most of their peers) are rubbish at skiing on the Wii.....so you are in good company!!

    I have been for a lovely ski this evening - the wind dropped and it was very mild and not February-like at all. Had a great blast down the slope and had plenty of laughs in the process :D

    Now need to wind down otherwise I will never sleep (again)!!

    Hope you have all had a good day xx

    Monday morning arrives and another week is upon us. I hope that whatever it has in store for us all is positive, and that everyone has a good week.
