For this week I've got something a little different ¨C Using a few photos taken throughout the year in our meetings I'm going to present to you BNI Cookson's 7 Tips to survive Christmas. 1. Treat the one you love. Be it a bottle of their favourite tipple, fine fragrance, chocolates or just a great referral so make sure you show your power team how much you appreciate them this Christmas and remember DNA homes the building blocks to a good bromance. 2. Keep Granddad Happy We all know Granddad loves Christmas, Nothing makes him happier than the traditions of gathering round the table and spinning stories of Christmas during the war. Make sure you keep him happy maybe a game of trivial pursuit or putting together the kids toys or just listening to his ramblings about investments. 3.

Wrap up warm We all know the cold weather can deadly at this time of year. But make sure you where the right clothes to suit you wouldn't want to attract the wrong kind of attention.

So avoid the 'spark' of attraction and listen to your fellow chapter members warning MME the best tranny, be careful you don't go home with me. 6. Get your grove on No Christmas party is complete without a good old fashioned knees up and we haven't been short of John Travolta's this year. Always remember there are two things certain in life, taxes and Andy Potts doing the thank you for the money box. And finally before we go 7.
