    I'm not cut out to be a teacher either.

    At work, I don't mind doing training, when it's just one person sitting with me, but the thought of standing up in front of a class is one of my nightmares.

    Right with you on that front! I'm ok with one to one, but couldn't cope with a class full and nor would.I want to!

    Ok... A couple of ladies have expressed an interest in buddying up for a weight loss effort... now I appreciate that this is a MFW , but figured that watching /planning menus, cooking carefully from scratch, drinking water (not wine!), will all add up to helping towards money saving...which is in effect, what we are all about!

    So hope you will please excuse the odd post on here that discusses daily menus!
    :p

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
