Have ordered a new hand-dryer. It's product number 11036 on Graeme's link.

Should be here around the end of next week.

Ken Smillie has agreed to install it.

It's costing us £45.55 in total.

It's also got a two year warranty.

Lynne

I don't think so Mike....

I will be at this meeting.

Lynne

Thanks Alex!

Lynne

Just spoke to Nix about last night and he is of the opinion that we should keep their deposit, so that's what I'll do. Also mentioned the idea about the balconies Mike.....Nix doesn't think a new door is a possibility....I think we just need to be more vigilant about making sure the balconies are lo...

Lynne

Okay.....so I need to sort out balcony keys for whoever works the hall bookings at night. I've got no problem with telling last night's booking that we don't like the way they treated the Forest/P.A. I will speak to whoever comes in for the deposit and see what they say. If they're apologetic, I may...

Lynne

Sorry Nix, there wasn'[t anyone around to help me put them in a better place

Where is the best place to store them then?

Lynne

Oh, and I will have a look at First Aid kits in Boots today. I will try and pick one up over the next couple of days.

Thanks for pointing this out Mike

Lynne

Yeh Mike, we probably should have at least one or two qualified First Aiders on site..... Ideally the KM's and a couple of NM's should know what to do... Having said that, if there's a 'real' emergency, the 999 people are really good at talking you through what needs to be done..... I will put this ...

Anyway...

Lynne

Have just spotted a baby changing unit on Ebay for £25 + postage (it costs £89.00 in the shops).

Can I buy it?!

I have our Ebay details somewhere...........

Lynne

Is this not just someone having a joke? Surely it's not serious?!

Really???!!!

Lynne

Just spoke to Ken Smilie, and he has suggested we get a fold down IKEA breakfasty-type-table-thingy......good idea, no?!

This would ensure there's no splinters in baby bots!

Hey Martin I know you're reeeaaally sick of having to deal with this shit, but I tried to ask BT to run a diagnostic yesterday and because I didn't have the right knowledge (i.e. all the stuff you mention), they couldn't run it... I can't ask BT about anything until they know all the relevant detail...

Lynne

Someone phoned from BT to say that there is absolutely nothing wrong with our broadband connection.

This must mean that the problem is internal to the Forest?

Lynne

No problemo!

I got the wrong end of the stick - the grants that are mentioned on our job description are not the ones you are talking about - sorry!

Lynne

Lynne

Should the administrators do this?

It was on our job description...and we're up for it...

Please let us know your thoughts!

Cheers
