(16 May 2016, 2:47 pm)BusLoverMum Took a detour on the way to collect littl'un to the post office to post a card at the only post box with a 5:15pm last collection time, only to find that, not for the first time, the post had already been collected and the next collection was tomorrow.
I could have posted it in the box near my house if I wanted it collecting tomorrow, ffs!

(16 May 2016, 6:52 pm)Adrian Might be worth checking the Londis post office at Coxhoe? Not sure what time they collect the bag, but it's bound to be after 5pm.

(16 May 2016, 7:33 pm)BusLoverMum Now that is one hell of a detour! (I do the school run on foot)

(16 May 2016, 7:39 pm)Andreos1 A number of post boxes in the same area (from experience), have the same collection times.
If the van isn't at the first box in his cycle at 17:15, I have the opportunity to catch him up (when in the car) as he works towards the sorting office.

(16 May 2016, 10:24 pm)BusLoverMum Well, this one's supposed to be "last collection" 17:15 and it's not the first time it's already been collected at 3pm. When I'd seen it being done, previously, I assumed they would be back, but the "Tue" tag was already in the little slidey slot.
I don't use the one near our house for anything important, any more, because that does say the post will be collected any time before 9am (7am on a Saturday). In practice, that often means it gets emptied when the posties arrive to do their deliveries, around 10am, but i still don't like risking leaving mail in there, overnight.

Durham County Council has approved plans to cut the salaries of teaching assistants by nearly 23% by not paying them during school holidays.
The Labour authority voted in favour of changing 2,700 contracts from 52 weeks to term time-only.

Disgrace, greedy bunch of ******, why don't the labour councilors take a pay cut, i bet none of them have worked in education before!
Teaching assistants do a lot more than just sit in a classroom with children, they do phonics, after school clubs, some higher lvl teaching assistants stand in for teachers and teach their lessons...
Once again, they wonder why there's a lack of teachers and teaching assistants, well maybe because of this? Idiots
I require a high visibility jacket for my trip on Saturday. Spent ages tracing round Bishop Auckland this afternoon and after going round the likes of Wilko's, Boyes, B&Q and Halfords and having no joy, I found a little shop that specialises in that sort of thing, unfortunately my social anxiety kicked in and I couldn't bring myself to go in. So instead of getting the thing I wanted, I've just come away feeling annoyed with myself, yet again.
Seriously the amount of issues I've had in the last few weeks with my autism and anxiety is pushing my mind into a terrible place and I honestly don't know what to do anymore.
Jimmi I've got a spare one if you need it

(17 May 2016, 4:09 pm)Jimmi Thanks, I'll bare that in mind if I ever need to vent or anything.
Suppose, but as ever I've left the thought a bit late, I honestly thought that I'd be able to get one piece of cake, especially in Bishop Auckland. Other than that shop, the closest I could find was bike clothing in Halfords.

(17 May 2016, 6:21 pm)BusLoverMum IKEA iS usually a good source, but doubt you're going that way. Up near the kitchen stuff In the deals section.
(17 May 2016, 7:59 pm)MurdnunoC Sports Soccer also sell Hi-Viz and workwear as well I believe.
(17 May 2016, 8:16 pm)Adrian Jimmi your best bet is to go to Dragonville in Durham. B&Q, Screwfix, and Sports Direct, all within a few mins walk.

(17 May 2016, 8:53 pm)Jimmi Thanks for the suggestions. Apparently Gary has some spare, so I will probably just borrow one off him for Saturday.
I'm amazed that it was such a faff as it was, in Bishop Auckland I tried, B&M, Wilko, Sports Direct, Poundworld, Boyes, ASDA and Halfords but I couldn't seem to see any in any of those stores, closest I got was some clothing for cyclists in Halfords. Like I said earlier, there was that shop that specialised in work clothing but for some reason I couldn't bring myself to go into it, I don't know why but I think it may have been the fact that the shop was pretty small and I feared that because of the size of the shop I would have to ask, which is something I've always struggled with due to social anxiety and such.
I haven't been the best state of mind the last week or so, my head has been all over the place, owing to some mistakes I've made, getting wound up with some people and encountering some people that I will be honest have made me feel totally on edge - for example whilst I was walking round Bishop Auckland this afternoon, it was one of those people who have to SHOUT EVERYTHING REALLY LOUDLY TO SOMEONE, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE RIGHT NEXT TO THEM!!! At one point he ended up right behind me with whatever lass he was with and it made me feel really uncomfortable, so to get away from him I ended up going into Burton just so he could get further up the street, annoyingly not long after this, he ended up behind me again, which resulted in me walking really quickly to ASDA to get away from him again. All this is starting to leave me stressed and I've regretted leaving the house when I haven't had to, went to Darlington yesterday afternoon and within less than 10 minutes, I wanted to get back on a bus and head home. No idea why I've suddenly become so bad in the last few days?

Day 8 of being ill. Sore throat, eyes hurting and a high temperature.
Bloody horrible.
It's times like this that I'm glad that Littl'un no longer uses a wheelchair/buggy. Vanessa seems to think that she's a 9 stone human rather than a 6 tonne vehicle.
Just for future reference, Jimmi. Toolstation, Screwfix and Arco should usually have them in stock.
