    Hi everyone
    it's been a busy weekend - Very full on but absolutely brilliant :) Friday and Saturday went very very quickly so I am hoping that today will go the same :)

    Rain dance didn't work on Friday night but the boys did well and won :D although 1 of them did get knocked out in a crash and was taken to hospital :(

    Bonus of this weekend is my car has been parked since 830am Friday in the hotel car park and all my meals have been paid for :D

    Speedway is in Armadale Beanie - Knockhill is more Superbikes and car racing.

    Hi everyone
    Well I am home and very tired. I have had a fantastic weekend so much fun and have learnt alot. I am off into meetings next week to do Weigh In, my story, meeting chat AND the getting started session with new members. :eek::eek:
    I then have another couple of meetings next week and an admin workshop then 2 more classes the week after and another practical workshop. So it is all going to be pretty usy over the next month or so. The trainers were saying we could be running our own classes by June :eek: That is a little scary! So Glad I'm off work this week! :D

    We were all talking over the weekend and one or two were saying they have or are considering getting a mobile phone just for their meetings/ members - I am swithering about this as I do think it is a great idea, thinking PAYG any suggestions from anyone would be gratefully appreciated. :)

    Once I am up and running I am going to set up a facebook page and an email address just for my members as well. I think it will help me too, to keep these seperate.

    No money news as didn't spend a penny over the weekend and took cans of juice with me :D


    Enjoy your week

    Dress is fab.
    Do you go to the osteopath often?
    I can only go every 3 months or so.

    Thanks Beanie
    This will be 3rd time in 2 weeks I'll have been at the Osteopath - Trapped a nerve in my neck and its been giving me headaches, went to the doctor on Monday night and have been given anti-inflamitories to try release it :(
    I really can't afford it, may have to go on my Pink Friend until next month :eek: The thing is it works so I don't mind paying for it.

    Got you.
    The anti inflamitories are a bit hit or miss.
    My current ones are narproxen.
    Also take muscle relaxants every day.Pah.
