Question Safe jacking points on C30?

I love this little hatchback, but its size causes a serious problem for the home mechanic w/o a 4 point hydraulic lift. Where is a safe point to lift it w/ a floor jack other than the four known jacking points? Or, if I can only lift it at the jacking points, where can I place my jack stands? I've been told to lift it by the crossmembers, but I'm super-paranoid about this.

Hu? Thanks for the opinions on the interior. Any thoughts on my initial question about jacking points? Strange to advertise me a car I already own.

I don't know anyone who owns a c30 but I can only assume like most cars it is listed in the manual if you haven't found out yet.
