Absence without leave!

Good morning everyone, as you read this we will be starting day 2 of our retreat in Guilford! We have been so looking forward to it and can't believe it has come around so quickly!

As you can imagine we have been up to our eyes in it for the last week so we have decided to postpone this weeks challenge till next week. When we will be back with our FAVE FIVE and 2 winners for online classes.

It has also given our fabulous DT a week off! They work so hard and we are so lucky to have them all on board!

So if you didn't have a chance to enter last weeks, you have another week to have a go!

See you soon.
