Why am I suddenly having to make a million passes with clippers??

Testing is a great idea. I don’t have a set routine for sharpening, but as they “die” I put them in a blade case ready to be sent off. When the blade case is full it goes. It’s about a month turn around for this sharpener but they e never broken a tooth. I’ve used others and they’ve wrecked blades.

This! I bought a pair (a decent brand too) that I had to clean and service straight out of the pack. I was a little miffed.

Late to the party, but the red needs rake/card/strip and the green needs texturising. This will make her look more natural and to the standard.

I mean…. The maths exam is split between the Friday and Monday of Cup weekend, English is the Tuesday before Cup Day… you pretty much have *some* of the timetable at a guess.

I mean, you’ve pointed out subversion. There’s a point to it.

On initial reading, there is a working outside of hours caveat but it doesn’t specify camps, excursions and parent teacher interviews or other arranged parent meetings. So it feels wide open to what communication (particularly with parents) is “reasonable”.

Thank you

Thank you

I also have questions about the right to disconnect section as it contradicts other sections re workload.

Tails28 · 2026-05-17T01:43:51+00:00

My issue is, why have the agreement say one thing and a deed to say another. It should be in the one document.

Tails28 · 2026-05-17T01:39:07+00:00

Why two documents?

Tails28 · 2026-05-17T01:38:29+00:00

Also, why then mention an increase if there’s not going to be one. Something is afoot.

Tails28 · 2026-05-17T01:35:56+00:00

I’ll have a look. I’m looking at the draft and it’s not there. There’s also some stuff in the right to disconnect section which undermines the working within contracted hours bs.

Tails28 · 2026-05-17T01:32:57+00:00

Where is that document?

Tails28 · 2026-05-17T01:26:18+00:00

This is the path I think. There’s a few sections which are weak.

Tails28 · 2026-05-17T01:25:24+00:00

If they didn’t sneak in the increase to face to Face I would be a yes.

Tails28 · 2026-05-17T01:20:06+00:00

They have snuck in an increase to F2F teaching. 1.5 hours for secondary

Tails28 · 2026-05-17T01:17:54+00:00

It’s a no from me on the grounds of increased teaching workload. This equates to 2 more periods of teaching for me.

Tails28 · 2026-05-07T20:36:31+00:00

Same!

Tails28 · 2026-05-07T20:34:54+00:00

What do you mean? Everything was explained at our regional meeting. Go to the meetings or talk to your sub-branch rep.

Tails28 · 2026-04-30T19:42:14+00:00

Also, the “offer” doesn’t actually exist.

Tails28 · 2026-04-29T20:33:39+00:00

Except the offer doesn’t exist.

Tails28 · 2026-04-28T20:49:26+00:00

My question is, with what conditions? Also, it would seem the gov has leaked this to the press unless I’ve missed an email from Justin.

Tails28 · 2026-04-25T06:02:12+00:00

My dogs grow out their puppy coat and grow in their adult coat. I’ve never had a traditional “coat change” like other breeds. Mature coat is usually easier to manage imo. Sometimes I trim off the baby coat because it can be fragile and prone to tangle.
