Snow time like the present... (Are the ski puns getting old yet?)

Good evening. I don't need to introduce myself again because I have stuck to my guns and am continuing with my 'trebuchet' font choice. We are well into November and there are only 23 days until A and myself jump on a bus to France. We are both very excited and one of us (the one who isn't me) is spending every spare minute getting organised for the trip. And I mean getting SERIOUSLY organised. I'm usually very laid back and don't tend to worry about things like this until they are just a couple of days away but just recently I have found myself quite on edge about the impending adventure. I think it could be something to do with the 5 A4 page long to do list (I'm serious, it's 5 pages) that A keeps shoving in my face. I think I just have 5 items on mine.

Calculator? Really?

This isn't to say I've been doing nothing though. As A said we went along to the Metro Snow Show. I managed to blag some free tickets and I was very glad of this because it turns out the 'Show' is pretty much a giant market that people pay £16 to look around whilst people wearing gilets carrying clipboards jump out at you and try and get to to join a mailing list. There was also a large perspex slide in the middle which some crazy cats were skiing and boarding down. Mental. It was a good day, but mainly because of the free wine and cheese.


A was pleased with the snow show because she came away with a ski suit and a gaping hole in her previously quite healthy bank balance. I'm not going to say how much it was but lets just say my ski suit last year, including goggles, thermals and socks, cost me less than a third of what A paid. Silly girl has gone and bought snowboarding gear too...don't have the heart to tell her how ridiculous she is going to look on skis. I jest.

This weeks big news is that it is my last day at work tomorrow. Probably should have stayed on an extra week for the money but I got a little bit over excited and just handed in my notice without really thinking about it! Still, can't wait to be free.


Next week A and I are planning on cooking one of the meals from our companys chalet menu for a group of friends and family to brush up our skills and get used to working with eachother a little bit. Will let you know how that one goes if we are still speaking afterwards!
