Thanks CF
Meeting went really well, most of the people who came along stayed for the meeting talk as well which was lovely and I had several members come up and say Thank you for making the meeting interesting again.
Next meeting Wednesday night
Spent the afternoon sorting out the money side of things and preparing for Wednesday.
Once I get into the swing of things I'm sure I will get quicker at preparing the rooms and sorting out everything after the meeting as well.

Hi P

Sorry not popped on for a few days. Well done on your first class and so glad that the members liked what you did. I am sure you will get more members when the news gets out at how good you are. I am sure it wont be long before your speeding up on setting up and sorting out after class. Do your helpers get there early to help you set up. We all get there early to help ours. I do struggle sometimes because of work but otherwise I am there too. There's so much to put out.

Weigh day again, it comes round so quickly, I seem to start off well and then seem to have a blip later in the week, I dont know why because I never used to but its because I am so tired at the moment.

I love your budgeting my dear, so organised. Anyway thats all for now hu catch you later

I have had a bad week on WW this week, I have been feeling so tired and it all came out in my throat, glands were up size of golf balls. Could get my head in gear to plan meals at all and picked and ate rubbish...fell bloated now Oh well tomorrow is another day.

Loving the handbag hun fabuuuulous.

Catch you later and have a good meeting tomorrow. x
