    How many weeks break do you need to take before rejoining as a new member?

    I took a holiday week in December & the last two weeks the class has fallen on a Monday so no class.

    I need to change groups anyway due to the day it falls on - should I just join as a new member so I get the holiday weeks started again (& new books).

    Thanks

    Some good losses on here tonight considering where we are on the calendar:T I think I'm more likely to join the :eek:set later in the week at my WI. At least it draws a line in the sand.

    Just to report, I made Mexican Bake tonight (thanks ww) and it was delicious. DH loved it too and I've a portion LO for my lunch tomorrow.

    TTC40, I wouldn't have thought you'd have to pay if the class wasn't held and similarly for a booked holiday. If you go to your old group then they should just give you the new book (so I understand). After that you'd be free to move groups.

    This is a bit confusing - watermelon was on the superfree page in the old book as an EXCEPTION.

    Does this mean watermelon is now a superfree?
