Last night I did something I haven’t done for a very long time, I was late for the Troop’s meeting!
I’d eaten something for lunch that obviously didn’t agree with me and by the time I got home from work, I was feeling quite sick. 
So I got changed into my uniform, had a warm drink, sat on the sofa and promptly fell asleep. Carol had gone Christmas shopping with her sister straight after work, so didn’t wake me. I woke up, feeling much better, about 3 minutes before the meeting started!
So I jumped in the car and got to the hall about 10 minutes after the meeting started. This was not a problem however, as the rest of the Leaders had just got on and started – no worries! One did say that he thought I was coming and hadn’t said I wasn’t coming this week! They realised something was up as I hadn’t phoned to say I’d be late or not coming.
But the thing is they just got on with it, they knew what we were doing this week and did it. Good assistant Leaders are worth their weight in gold, so look after them. I couldn’t ask for any better – thanks chaps / chapesses!
