22/12/06 Off we go - two weeks skiing

Head off at the normal 5am for 7am ferry - Chesc moaning as usual "why can't I fly with Mum" and me with the same answer as EVERY other time; "Mum's flying with Zac as I'm not having the lunatic in the car for 7-8 hours". Arrive 5ish, chalet freezing and no bloody water. Why am I paying 3-4k for this. Quick call to letting agents and someone pops up to turn the water and heating on "as we're the first guests of the season". Can't help feeling why didn't someone do such basics this morning or yesterday. Manage to also get some sheets and towels off them!
