    Training was brilliant Footiemad
    I was very tired on Monday after a very intense but fantastic weekend, and I'm so glad I have been on holiday this week although I feel as though I have never stopped!!
    I was at a WW meeting on Tuesday night and last night weighing people and doing the meeting talk :eek:
    I was really nervous but I think with practise it will be fine!
    I have my training schedule and my final assessmentis on 19th May :eek::eek:
    So I could be running my own meetings from June :eek:
    P

    Thats great news. It will all be worth it. I know its not the same, but I was nervous when I was asked just to help out with weighing :eek: I still get confused when they lose weight and go from one stone to another. But I love it. Just wish I could go on the course as well but that will have to wait.

    I am sure you will be brilliant. Lets face it, some of the leaders I have seen aren't that hot. Thank goodness my leader is fab:D
    I can be in your virtual class if you like;)

    added another £11.05 so my total is now £111.05 so far!!!! hoping to put another £72.39 in there but that depends on whether i have enough to cover my bills!! i now have another plan for this money - as it was going to be our christmas fund - however my best friend in the world may not be able to afford the rest of her holiday to africa, she went last year or year before i cant remember and fell in love , its one of those pay to volunteer things, and its what she lives for and it would kill me if she didnt get to go!! shes been put to part time on her already poorly paid job.now i know im not much better off but i am now saving for her!!! she would kill me if she knew, very proud etc but i couldnt bare to see her cancel. She has to pay it by july i am hoping to get £700 for then eek would settle for £500!!! ambitious as ever!! she still has £1000 i think to pay off


    so any thoughts on how i can give this gift to her and her actually accept it............I love her so much she is always there for me!! we can go months without seeing each other as life goes but when we are together its like we see each other every day.I so want her to accept it

    Minnie2 What a lovely gesture. I am sure your friend will be very touched. Could you make it part of her birthday/christmas present? Or could you sneekily find out who she has to pay the money to or how and then just go direct to the company? Sorry I cannot be of any more help. But happy saving anyway and good luck with getting her to accept it. ;)

    She is also very lucky to have a friend like you too.:A

Its probably been the best way of saving I have ever known and it will be my godsend when the little one beggars up the washing machine by putting a 'plastic solvent' into the washing machine dispenser...........GROOOOOOOOAN!!!!
    £90 quid???? oh happy days....
    Good luck to everyone...be proud....

    thanx - it is a tricky one!! we dont do christmas and birthday presents as we are poor but i always buy her something hehe!! i think if i found out the company she would kill me for going behind her back! i just so worried about it as im desperate for her to accept it!!! Her birthday is in June....


    ok well got a massive target to reach so i had better start transferring!!
