Hopefully we don't need that to get some good pics.
Going up to watch England v Scotland. Having a bit of tour though. Fly up, then drive to Fort William via Loch Lomond. Distillery visit, maybe a trip up a cable car(it's not Ben Nevis, but near).
Back to Stirling, visit site of Battle of Banockburn.
Next morning visit Stirling Castle, and battlefield site(the one in the Scottish National Anthem - where they sent Proud Edwards Army home again, to think again). Park at hotel, get to ground to watch all hopefully, of Wales v Ireland before our game.
Argentine Steak House after. Sightseeing Edinburgh Sunday. Visit a Brewery Monday, before flying home.
Should be fun, and a few more days ticked off for skiing.

At the minute, no I'm not working. I'll explain all when we get together.
Got a kitchen business, that is not doing as well as I'd like, and it's hard work fitting them.

Keeping that going(though stopped most advertising for now), but starting a new business this year, which I much more like the idea of. Website partially built. Got an 11meter by 6 meter play area, and play house to do when I get back, and another slightly smaller after that. Got a kitchen to do for a mate in March as well.

Just getting all my tax etc up to date, ready to begin the garden project.

Scottish trip sounds fabulous as well, must be really hard work at present...just kidding, enjoy it whilst you have the opportunity.
You'll have a blast Steve, we've only ever managed it once to have 2 ski holidays in one season, but that was the whole family = megga expensive!
Interested to hear what's going on with the kitchen business, guess we'll have plenty of time to talk about this & other stuff.

6 days to go 
Got my ski gear out this afternoon - can't believe it, just goes to show what an awesome forum this is, well done Steve for having the initiative to post originally.
Would thoroughly recommend others to follow Steve's lead, it works!

So glad I did Michael.
Washed my ski Jacket and Pants earlier - even though most advised against. I did it last year, and they were waterproof this year. Jacket had been sicked on by a 1 year old anyway.
Soon be time to get organised. Print stuff off etc. Looked at a few webcams of L2A, now I'm really looking forward to it. Looks great to me. Weather looks about the same as Morzine - lot of snowy days. Hope there's not much white out though, and conditions good enough for La Grave, cos that seems essential.

Claude, what are the prices like at Jacques Sports? I'm wondering if part of my skiing issues are boots that may be a wee bit too big for me. Budget is always an issue so not sure whether to wait for the sales to start soon for a half price bargain, or buy from glisshop or similar. Usually in resort places are full price and that's sadly not in my budget

@RobPowell, Prices in resort tend to be high until right at the end of thé season. Cédric is à top notch boot fitter though.

Just tried to do online check in Rob. To check in online, you have to select seats and pay for them(either £6 or £4.50 each way).
Sod, em. I'm not fussed where I sit; check in is free at the airport, so I'll do that. We should be able to get seats together.
Michael & Phil. Just a reminder. Our first room is at Hotel le Chalet, 3 rue de L'Oisans.
That's all paperwork printed off ready - just some more €s to get.

Just looked at forecast they're expecting big dump Wednesday so just need sunshine next week. Just on the domestics does the apartment include bed linen and towel?

Yeah, sunshine seems to be the problem more than snow. Rain was the problem in Morzine - pouring down for 3 days, until you got higher up.
Checked, and yes it says linen included. We have most stuff it looks like, so if we do want to eat in a time or two we can.
Can't remember what time you thought you'd arrive in '3 days' Rob? I'll book a table, just in case. It does get busy there.

We had to pay €18 for linen in our Morzine Chalet.
Definitely included in our L2A one though - as I'd expect, for a whopping £123 for 7 nights.

The lift passes are like gold dust, and I've printed the receipts and stuff in case there's an issue. They're more important than my passport to be honest!
No need to cook breakfast, I am sure BK will be more than sufficient to wake us up

Cool.
I'll put some coffee on as soon as I get up though. I think I have some PG Tips somewhere if you prefer, but it's probably quite old
