1. Worrying I'm going to get ill or hurt myself so I won't be able to go.

2. Trying to get all the work done at home so that I can get away for a week.

3. Trying to earn enough money so that I can afford the ski holiday. The last couple of ski holidays have cost me about £1100 per head including transport, accommodation, ski hire, lift passes, and lessons.

4. Worrying I've forgotten some vital piece of paper - like my insurance details or the receipt for the lift passes, or that my passport has gone out of date and I haven't noticed.

5. Worrying that something has gone wrong with the booking system and when I get there they won't have an apartment for us.

6. Worrying that I've forgotten how to ski and I'm going to get chucked out of my lessons and put in the beginners classes.

7. Worrying that one of us is going to get lost or hurt on the mountain.

8. Worrying that my glasses are going to steam up and I won't be able to see where I'm going.

9. Worrying that I'm going to be too fat to get my salopettes on.

10. Worrying that I'm going to make a mess of getting off the chair lift and knock the other 5 people on the chair lift over.

11. Worrying that there will be loads of snow and I'm going to have to ski in deep powder and I'll fall over and get lost/hurt/look a total idiot.

In fact - looking at that long list I don't think I'm going to bother booking another ski holiday :wink:

I think you're a bit of a worrier Ally, I'd be a bit worried about that if I were you?

I will enter a predictive dislike.
Next Saturday I will dislike the traffic on the A8 south of Munich as all of Germany and Holland head off for the Fasching ski holiday.
I will also dislike that I am not organised enough to get the family on the road early enough to get through before the traffic build up. Thus missing an afternoon on the slopes.

I hate that managers attack you with a mop sometimes!!

I hate it when there is nobody at the lift, so you ski up to the gate assuming you will have a nice peaceful ride up the mountain with your partner. Just as the gate opens, somebody appears from nowhere & rushes through with you. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but when you have to put up with their ipod "hissing" & their tuneless singing & humming, it's very annoying! :evil:
The plan is.... there's no plan!

I think with my personal worries/dislikes/hates I've got to:

18. I really hate the fact that I've had 6 weeks of lessons now and I am STILL stuck on some of the basics - like failing to keep my upper body facing downhill and ski-ing with my skis too far apart. It REALLY ANNOYS me when I see other skiers effortlessly skimming past me with perfect style and technique!

And I think I have pretty much ALL the worries and pet hates that everyone else has already expressed.

All those that effortlessly ski past you are probably thinkin the same about others!!

With your 18 dislikes, there must be somethin that happens when you are away that makes it fun ;)
