    Mmmmm…..just noticed they’re deactivating the pm function. This seems a shame as I’ve made some lovely friends using this function.

    That is a shame because I’ve had some lovely messages on mine 😢

    Is it not just group PM's or have I read that wrong?

    I too read it as group PMs but as I've never used a PM I assumed I'd misunderstood.

    I’ve just spoken to the new SlimmingWorld consultant and am going tomorrow at 11. I’m going to buy a 6 week countdown - there’s a free book 😃 and there’s half price membership fee atm - not sure for how long. I’m using my savings pot money for this and not including it in my July totals.
    I feel I’m getting in a bit of a rut sitting in front of the tv so a meeting once a week closer to home where hopefully I might meet some local people seems very appealing atm. I know I can’t carry on as I have been and need to loose at least a stone.
    I’ve just phoned the GP for a sick note and tried to get in touch with work but ended up leaving a message to ask if we’re any further forward and where to send the sick note as they’ll have broken up by the time it’s ready. I wonder how long it will take for them to get back to me……
    Good luck tomorrow 😊I'm also going for the social side of things. I'm so fed up of not going anywhere. I will probably buy a count down as well 😊

    Ahhhh….i didn’t  know there was a difference between group pms and pms. So I’m of sure now. 
    I went to sw this morning. There were only about 10 people in a big room so it felt very safe. The consultant was very different and lovely in a very different way to the last one. I’ve paid for 6 weeks and booked a weeks holiday half way through. That gives me 7 weeks. I want to loose about 18 lbs so hopefully by the end of it I’ll only have to pay for a couple of weeks. They seemed a friendly bunch and it just felt good to talk to some different people. I’m feeling motivated…..but I’m doing an afternoon tea for my friend on Monday for her birthday and Prosecco and cake will be involved……I’ll just have to watch what I’m doing for the rest of the week as I’d already arranged this.
    Other than the SW money I haven’t spent any money

    Have you listened to the Podcast The Secret World of Slimming Clubs? I found it by accident, it’s so funny 😂
