Re: Not very dyspraxic talents

I can Crochet! Ok, it took me longer to learn it and I'm still pretty slow at it but I don't care because I did it :banana: If you give me a book on how to learn something I can't.

Workplace needs assessment

Hi, does anyone have experience of a workplace needs assessment?

I've read some info on them but am nervous about having them come into my place of work. I have no idea what they'll look at, who they'll talk to or what happens after.

Great question. Will be interesting to see more replies. Sigh, I'm always looking at jobs thinking 'I can't do that'. Or no way can I be a manager, for example. I'm a support worker in the mental health field. I'd like to go to university and study social science and social policy. Perhaps then work...

Re: Eating Spaghetti

Hi all. I'm sitting here laughing after reading this thread. I promise I'm not laughing at anyone. I'm laughing as I know just how much mess I get into with spaghetti too. I can picture me trying all the different ways to eat spaghetti as I've tried it all. I'm the sort of person that laughs off dif...

Re: Organising my life

Leanne, I know this isn't directly related to organisation, but you mentioned struggling to keep on top of housework. One of the best tips I was ever given is take shoes off the minute you get inside. You'll be amazed at how much cleaner the floors and carpets stay! :) I'm a Leanne too. And this ad...
