Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

I am in the process of moving houses, and my buyer suddenly "realised" her mortgage offer runs out the 14/04, so I have to move within the next week, cancel my trip to France or risk losing the buyer when it was all going smoothly... Mad
This was "discovered" by the estate agent of the person we're buying our new house from as she was reading a fax from our buyer's sollicitor...What the f*%k did our estate agent and sollicitors do during the last few weeks?!! roll their thumbs?

There is going to be murder if I have to cancel the trip... Evil or Very Mad

Kruisler, ooooo i feel for you... bloody estate agents/solictors/buyers !
3 years ago we lost the house we were buying 4 days before we moved due to my buyer & her solictors stalling due to her not having the money after saying she was a cash buyer, the guy we were buyin from got fed up and sold it to someone else !! Evil or Very Mad And I had dropped the price 8k just for a quick sale.... The whole industry needs sorting out... Ended up in a bedsit for months until we could find a decent rental.
The buyer should go and live with a mate or stay in a B&B until your ready, its not your fault they f*cked up !!!

fingers crossed for a suitable outcome Sad

DebbiDoesSnow,

well in fact it turns out the buyer, who is divorcing, gets the deposit money from her (ex) husband on completion. It is his mortgage that runs out of the 14, and legally (some "matrimonial equity exchange" cr*p..) they have to do everything the same day so she can't move out of their marital home after he gave her the money (I assume he's buying her out).
We're now hoping he can extend the offer until the 17 then we have 5 days after the trip to get ready to move...
But my wife has already decided to skip the trip because she'd be too worried about the move to enjoy the holiday. And because my parents and my little girls are really looking forward to it, we don't want to cancel it altogether..nightmare..

Kruisler, the buyer must have somewhere she can stay for a few days / week ? I bet she isn't even living in the house at the moment anyway. You can't disappoint the girls & gran & gramps, but a on the otherhand its bit unfair to let the wife do the move on her own wink

Frosty the Snowman,

You'll be pleased to hear that the quote we got from the "friend recommended" removal company has been the one very good surprised.
And consequently , we'll rpobably treat ourselves to an "all in", i.e. packing+removal+ beds de-assembly/re-assembly.
So your "colleagues" are doing you proud.
The poor sods asked us to let us know if we'd get a better quote but they are recommended and the price is good anyway so we'll go with them..We're not in the business os doing people out of every penny..

DebbiDoesSnow,
Agreed on all points...And I told the wife we'd cancel the trip altogether but she's having none of it.... I think secretly she fancies a week away from me and the girls.. Shocked

Hurtle, Like the crossd fingers! Thanks Very Happy

Frosty the Snowman, my solictor was ok , but I wouldn't say she was great. If she had been a bit more on the ball I might not have lost the other house, I even had to make phone calls to chase people for documentation as she wasn't quick enough rolling eyes
But you pay these people to do the work for you, you have to trust them, they are after all supposed to be the 'experts' but more to the truth they are busy doing what they deem more important and lucrative work than our dull house proceedings. Never been recommended a decent one, but surveyor, now thats a different story.

Kruisler, she'll be throwing a wild house party whilst your away Twisted Evil

Kruisler,

Oh no!

Its waist deep powder out here in the Pyrenees. You have made a big sacrifice.

Just waiting for the cloud to lift and the sun is just breaking through now. Had about 4" more snow last night and its still snowing lightly.

The lifts are staying open until May and with this much snow you could still come out after the house move.

Hotel prices are 45 euros per night for 2 people half board. Much cheapness.

bar shaker,

Yeah I know, been reading your snow reports and I have my eyes firmly on the webcam. Looking gooood! Cool
Makes for a better view than Essex! Very Happy

The latest is my wife stays behind and I still go to Toulouse with my little girls. It still throws a bit of a spanner in the works since my mates aren't sure to be able to take days off work, so I might end up having to go on my own Sad
But hey ho.. better that than no boarding at all..
I'll decide last minute whether to aim for Grand Valira or Peyragudes which is slightly closer to me..
It will feel weird but I am sure I'll enjoy myself when surrounded by powder! snowHead

DebbiDoesSnow, yip, I got to the top of Val D early and boarded down to Le Lac (Tignes) on powder (is that a black piste at the end?) as the first run of the day - nand the last run of the day was down a chopped up (soft) mogul filled black (the blue was shut Puzzled ) - I just love that stuff Very Happy Lots of off (side of) piste through out the day too Very Happy

I had to leave on Thursday and the other 9 of the group are still there - I even left my Flow bindings for a learner boarder in the group (he loves them), well I say learner - but he was riding the same stuff as the rest of us, just a bit slower.

rayscoops, I do hope the learner was enroled in a board school for the week and not copying your bad techniques wink

When we went to Tignes last year, my cousin took his mate after his 2nd lesson (hadnt been off the nursery slope yet) straight up the gondola and down that black mogul run before telling him what it was Shocked rolling eyes Laughing Idiotic really but apparently he done it, albeit with a terrible technique and a few face plants, without too many problems.
NOTE: I had nothing to do with this behaviour, I am only repeating the details. To prove they were not complete idiots he continued with his lessons for the rest of the week.... he was still shite Laughing

sarep, Tignes had loads of snow yesterday and conditions were exceptional
DebbiDoesSnow, we took the boader on an itinerary in Tignes where there was a big sign at the chair lift saying 'experienced skiers only' and he did well, but we popped away from the marked area and boarded out on some powder - he loved it - and was laughing when he did a double front end tumble. He did really well even with my instruction wink

Never made it to Andorra as chains were required and we didn't have any. Stopped just short, in Ax-Bonascre, and still had an amazing day!!! Powder every where and hardly anyone in the resort. Huge fields of powder just for myself, lovely runs between the trees etc etc.... What a way to end the season!
