Well done, great result :T.A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

Thanks Taxi, Laurajo, Lois, GG & Tilly, I couldn't have done it without your support!!:wave:
With bonuses and expenses, I think I may already be well on the way for June.:j
I was checking my bank statement last night, and the £180 expenses claim from April - I'm not sure it has been paid in yet so I can add that to the £90 expenses from May. I've a bonus of £200 coming too, not to mention the group cover on the Cl1ther0e group. I'm running S3ttl3 group tomorrow night too. I thought June's target was going to be tough, but I might just be ok.
Having said all that, I do have a £200 to clear from my weekend away in the north east, but I'll use my "tax" money for that because I've already got enough saved for July's tax bill in my ISA.
I just love money saving!!!:T

Thanks guys.
I've done two extra groups this week so I'm really tired. Grabbing a little lie in before I start my Big Day - Wednesdays are manic and I'm out of the house from 1pm until 10:30pm running my group. I do love it though!!!

Right!
Enough lounging - time to get up and face the day!
Today I will be:
1. Completing my franchise accounts for the two groups I've covered this week and input all the new member details, then send out cards welcoming them to group.
2. Completing my month end in time for my 121 with my manager tomorrow evening
3. Checking the Food Diaries submitted, so I can best help some struggling members
4. Starting to plan my Team Meeting to be held on Friday evening
5. Pop into town to bank and green grocers to get raffle prizes for today's SW group
6. Stock Take before group
7. 12:30pm - drive to group, set up and get ready for first session
8. 3:30pm Session 1
9. 5:30pm Session 2
10. 7:30pm Session 3
11. Tidy up after group and reset the venue (moving tables and chairs - totally knackering)
12. Drive to OH house (17 miles)
13. Bath
14. Bed
Wish me luck!!
