    And may I ask how many people YOU approached and introduced yourself to? *wags finger* the first step is always hardeest but a brief 'Hi I'm Sally. We've just moved to the area and I'm so glad my little girl Bea got a place in a local school' will soon get a conversation started - they are probably as shy of you as you are of them...

    Luc...I cannot wait for you to get to the school gates.....:rotfl:

    I hated it. All the other mothers seemed to know each other cos I was the 'working mother'.

    Not bothered now though, even if my husband does look like a grandad compared to all the other men!!

    I see - I thought it was frogs... serves me right for not logging in for a WHOLE DAY:eek::rotfl:

    serves you right for not logging in for a whole weekend:rotfl:

    Frogs are what you eat quickly every day...

    Elephants are what you eat slowly bit by bit.

    My elephants for the weekend where the house, ebay and something else which i can't remember......which kind of led to me thinking of this challenge.

    I am glad it has stirred some grey cells...today I am having a meltdown. My head really hurts. I seem to be getting more clients and more clients, networking a lot, reading a lot, trying to study, chloe going to school....my head is going to explode!

    Nah - I'll be alright. I'm not worried about breaking the ice. People can like me or lump it. I am intelligent, fit and happy and if they don't like that then they know where they can shove it:D

    Anyways, by then we'll have our DFW commune with home schooling so the mothers will be you lot!:rotfl:

    yes you can spud

    mondays challenge


    Okay

    I just want to do something - and I wondered if you lot wanted to join in. This will take seven days. I will give you something to do every day - its not specific - its personal - to you.

    It is still about them pesky frogs.

    Todays task is:

    DECIDE EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT!

    Not hard huh!

    Think about what you want to achieve in life...where do you want to be. Don't do anything with these ideas - just spend the day thinking about what you want to achieve in life, how you best want to be remembered.

    I don't want to hear any negative thinking....about why you can't achieve things I just want you to think of what you want to do if there were no obstacles in your way.

    tuesdays challenge

    Okay so you all thought about your goals yesterday.

    All you need to do today is write them down! But write them down in the present tense. If your goal was to lose weight then think of what weight you would like to be and write it down as if you have already achieved it.

    Mine would be

    1. I am nine stone
    2. I earn £35,000 per annum
    3. I am a chartered accountant.

    You are what you see!!! So if you see yourself as having achieved your goals you are most likely to achieve them.
