 Poster: A snowHead
|
Ok, I really need help to get to the BLAM '06 in Bourg St. Maurice... I am drawing complete blanks here. See the BLAM thread under snowEvents for more info, but basically I have to take into account TRAVEL, meals, skis boots n poles hire, accommodation which i know will be about £50, liftpass, all the basic expenses of a ski holiday really.
I have a budget of £100-£200 although £200 is a bit optimistic.
There's no way of doing it is there? Short of robbing a bank.
My mum's a damn hypocrite going around always saying 'if you want something bad enough you'll get it' then saying it's impossible to get on a skiing holiday. God she annoys the hell out of me, always bl00dy preaching stupid cr@p at me!
Please help me to get a week out of this crappy rat race I live in and be away from her, and get to Bourg St. Maurice for the BLAM.
Cheerz guys, hope it's not impossible.
Jules

crazy_skier_jules, Can you go by bus? That would be cheap I should think. Anyone driving over with a place? Can you get a job delivering leaflets/telephone directories or whatever in the meantime? I know there are regular buses from London to Europe, can't remember the name of the line but I think it's Eurolines ....

crazy_skier_jules, at your age, my paper round paid for my skiing (he says suddenly feeling old  ). Of course that was Cairngorm in a minibus rather than BSM but the principle applies, no part-time jobs you could do ?

try washing cars......4 or 5 quid a time... all you need is 2 plastic buckets, shampoo, a sponge and a chammy
go for it, anything is wofth a try. i used to do it in town carparks where there was a handy water supply and it got to the stage where i would only agree to wash cleanish, smallish cars cos i was in such demand....always say no to the big old rusty muddy ones
good luck

crazy_skier_jules, is there no babysitting or dog-walking that you could do? That is how my eldest two enhance their pocket money.
