Alternatively, you could choose to experience the strange forces of the Sutton Bank approach.

Anyway I had to sit with a guy called Scott this morning and show him how to do Emails for Nectar which is the Campaign I am working on at work, he didnt know how copy and paste text from one place to another etc, basic simple IT Tasks that anyone should be able do, he also didnt even know how to navigate the System properly despite having a Weeks Training on how to do so Last Week.

I find this worrying and quite frankly it hacked me off as that then slowed me right down in getting through my work load of emails, to a point where after I came back from lunch I went in another room by myself and cracked with what I needed to get done for the day, leaving him to struggle on his own following a conversation with my floor walker for the day, having done this I plowed through my emails and finished the last one bang on 16:30 which was when my Shift finished, had I not had this distraction to contend with I would of probably gotten through another batch emails as we are expected to do at least 60 to 80 emails a day.

On the brightside I get an extra hour in Bed tomorrow morning as I dont start till 9am, rather 8am which has resulted in being up at 5am twice this week.

I feel like writing "LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!" in the communication part and "HAVE A F---KING S--T" in the "things that I can do by myself section... I've exchanged a few angry words about it with my mam.

And tuition is an absolute farce. She wants me to do a sum similar to 2+[3-8](51-7)=.............

Remind me to get the 10 back to Newcastle from Hexham.

(23 Sep 2015, 11:54 am)BusLoverMum wrote Joy of joys, it sounds like your statement's being turned into an EHCP. Big'un wanted nothing to do with the All About Me booklet, either and I can't say I could blame him. I actually ended up sending it in with some of the sections blank because I found them patronising to ME, as a parent.

I have to do it again for littl'un, in the Spring - in his case, half the answers will be along the lines of HOW DO I KNOW WHAT HIS ASPIRATIONS ARE? HE CAN'T FLAMING WELL TELL ME!!! HE SINGS BEAUTIFULLY, THOUGH!!!

There's also a family tree part... and a recipe thing which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. A pinch of angry? WTF?!!

Anyway, I sort-of enjoyed looking at sketches of certain private things. He also asked what I called the area............................

(22 Sep 2015, 7:31 pm)Dan wrote Haha, well I'm telling you now, there's nowt for me at Great Park before 7am or after 7pm... Quiet enough during the day never mind that early/late...

One of my recent visits was on a weekday morning, and the other visit was early afternoon on a Saturday if I remember rightly.

The bollards on the Centrelink haven't been used for quite some time now, and prior to this, I think they went through periods of the bollards being kept down 'permanently' on occasion too (that's a contradiction, I know!)

Breastfeeding woman admits Primark lie

No doubt that security guard got some stick, while loosing his job.... i hope shes jailed.

(24 Sep 2015, 11:51 am)BusLoverMum wrote She was caught in the lie within days. She had members of a breastfeeding support group threatening to track down the guard an sort him out. Funnily enough, that group folded when a lot of angry women took them to task via social media. I'm glad she was prosecuted.

It's stupid attention seekers like her that make life so much harder for new mums who just want to go about their daily business and feed their babies, when necessary without being harassed.

(24 Sep 2015, 11:57 am)Michael wrote Defiantly, i honestly don't mind it when women breast feed in public as along as they aren't to exposed (u know full boob out, clearly see it etc, cause i know some people will stare... especially when it comes to having males around).

I was in the Metrocentre once, and a women was breast feeding, you couldn't see anything... but i've seen women who just have it out in the open and you can clearly see, I have to admit though, i found it uncomfortable.... because i didn't know where to look.  

A lot of people aren't happy with her, its a disgrace, comments on the Facebook page is.. its not the first time shes done it.
