If it's priced "per person", does that mean the total cost is that much x19? Then divided by the number in your group?chewmylegoff wrote: »only 8 of us. it was quite difficult to get everyone to agree on something, as there were a lot of better options for 8 person chalets for about £200 more a head (which 2 people didn't want to pay, but 2 others really did), but everything cheaper was about 20 minutes walk out of town, and the key thing for all of us was to have apres-ski convenience. so this is the compromise, a couple of people are not happy sharing a chalet with others because they have had bad experiences in the past. i don't care as i will only be in the chalet for about 1 hour each evening to eat dinner and change before going back out again, and during and time i will simply ignore all the other people, including my own group.0 -

no, because they will book another 11 people in, so the cost per person is how much it says on the website, minus how much off you can get by getting one quote and then sending it to everyone else and asking them to beat it (which is about £1.43).0 -

Anything else is a bonus.
I HATE it when I accidentally press a random button and lose it all ... and then you can only turn it all off .... count to 10 and hope that when you turn it all on again it works again by magic
That is me to a T. I have put the TV on once whilst Mr s was away - to watch Inspector Montalbano - and that is it.
Our DD was 22 and we (Mr S & I )were on our way home from Glastonbury (as we wimped out on the Sunday evening as we were cream crackered) when we got a call from DD.. "please can you explain how to turn the TV on?"
She wanted to watch top gear and stumbled at the first hurdle.
For her 24th birthday we bought her a TV, she has stuck it in the sitting room part of our kitchen - hates the idea of a TV in a bedroom although she has now discovered big bang theory and will watch repeats of that.0 -
I'd be worried about that high chair in picture 4.
actually, that's not really a problem, as almost all catered chalets have a rule that children under 14 cannot come to meals, except during half term - so if there are any kids in there, they'll be fed at 5ish and then will be packed off to their room when dinner for everyone else is served. in fact the more kids the better as it means fewer adults to hoover up the wine at dinner.0 -
Oh ... so you share with god-knows-who strangers??

i think the problem is more that the god knows who strangers have to share with 8 idiots who turn up at 7pm having spent 4-7pm drinking as many jaeger bombs as possible. hopefully there will just be another group of idiots in there who behave just as childishly.0 -
I hate the idea of skiing, but love the idea of lolling around in a chalet, enjoying apres ski, fires, and making snowmen everyday.0
