Megamum, I heard this morning that the price of honey is going through the roof - so maybe you'll be rolling in it soon. FWIW I agree with the general tenor of the comments above. I find that the progression of doing increasingly challenging technical exercises is the best way of trying to make progress. If you haven't got them, you could try Fastman's DVDs. Doing those progressive exercises right is probably one of the most useful things you can do on your own - and I recognise you don't always have an instructor at your elbow.
Having a range of "things to practice" also makes skiing, particularly on easy slopes, pottering round with the kids etc, much more interesting. If it feels too easy, ski on one leg - that's my motto. And when that gets too easy, ski on the other leg.

IncogSkiSno, according to those around me the closer I am to legless the better my skiing gets!!

Megamum, it does sometimes help to relax a bit.

Hurtle,

I've found softer skis to be better in the bumps and soft snow, so you can learn new tricks if you like. I have a dilemma because I like stiff skis on piste. Two pairs of skis required I think.

Megamum, maybe if you had something stiffer and longer you'd stop wasting your time thinking about skis.
Fnar.
