    I had one of those emails from the Area Manager this morning addressed:  Dear Target Member

    Same as bubbs email and then saying 

    Immediate vacancy in your area!

    Funnily enough - it's for my group and the other 2 groups on the same day!

    I'm assuming they're contacting anyone who lives in area where there are vacancies.

    The local manager had already posted on our Facebook page with exactly the same message.

    Yes, and decided not to go back to being a consultant. 😁

    I've not had the email so maybe my area is doing OK. 🤔

    Morning all, was up early this morning!  Just couldn't get back to sleep so thought might as well get up.  The weather is awful, it's been raining all night by the looks of things and keeps raining on and off!  Looks like it's in for the day, but at least that awful wind has stopped.

    Going to pop down and see DD1 this afternoon (no point going any earlier as she's a late riser when she's not working!).  Haven't seen her for a while so will be good to see her.

    Today's plan:

    B - fry up with sausages - P; S; F; 2
    L - stuffed peppers - HEA2; P; S; F
    D - goat curry, rice - P; S; F

    HEA1 - milk
    HEA2 - cheese
    HEB - none planned but may have some Ryvita & Primula Light later
    Syns - sausages 2;  May have a couple of rum & ginger beer this evening for another 5 

    Have a good day everyone.

    Promising to rain here too. Grey and miserable. Neighbours opposite had  4 car loads of family arrive for lunch in the garden. All quiet now, they must have gone indoors.😲 I don't blame them but don't tell Matt Hancock. 😉 Hope your house has warmed up bubbs

    I've done my meal plan for the week and will shop after lunch. I'm going to try the Tuscan chicken tonight. I just hope there's plenty of stock around, it's ages since I went shopping on a Saturday afternoon. 

    I know this week will be over syns because of 2 meals out but DH has arranged for another outing next Friday! so no hope of another clear week.  Normal life seems to be resuming! 🤣 I think it'll be a few weeks like this to give us a chance to catch up with people. Enjoy your visit to DD denise

    Today's EE plan-
    B- NAS grapefruit, baked beans (F), HEB toast, HEA1 milk, fried eggs and bacon (P)
    L- beef stew (P,F,S)
    D- Tuscan chicken (P,S, HEA2) with mini roasts (F), broccoli, asparagus (S)
    Syns- weekend wine😊
