NOt quite the right area to post this in but more of a conversation than anything else! What training would you like to see available and what sort of cost would you pay per delegate? Is there any area in particular that you feel is not covered at the moment (!)

So - my question is - do you have one? I am not 'eligible' for a freebie - so have in the past paid for one as I thought it was worth it as a precautionary measure - last year I just didn't get round to it - and luckily, I was fine :1b Really not sure whether or not to go for one this year......

Wow -it seems to have come round fast! :1b ........apologies to those not lucky enough to get a break..

It feels as if we have a million and one things that have changed and if I'm honest I am struggling to keep up, cope and understand it all and as the manager I'm expected to cascade, inform staff what to do, ensure we are implementing everything - but how can I when I 'don't get' half of it myself!!

I live in the middle of a town with a tiny garden and while I might be able to pull a smidgin of ivy off the fence with next door. I'm wondering where else I might get bits and pieces. There are a couple of parks nearby wh…
