Re: artificial skin and MTT

What is MTT? I did Google it but decided it probably wasn't Mobile Task Team or More Than Toast(?). Wondered if it might be Move To Trash though! :-?

Re: Safety glasses hygiene

I have heard about putting glasses in the dishwasher before but was worried about doing it as whenever I put plastic stuff in ours it comes out with spots on. How do you avoid this?

Re: PD days during holidays

We get paid casual rates but only for the day time bit. We are having "fun" in the evening! They also pay for the accomadation on the compulsory night but you are still giving up a lot of your time. I'm just having a whinge really. I'm sure I could kick up a fuss and not go but then I woul...

Re: PD days during holidays

I'm sure we will sort something out with the childcare but I think what I am getting at really is the "compulsory" part of going away and being expected to do these things when we are term time only.

How do I view User groups?

Hi
I am a bit of a newbie, joined a while ago but haven't really used it much. In the FAQ it says there are user groups you can join or ask to join and that these are accessed through your User Control Panel. Not sure if I am being blind but I can't find anything about User groups in there.

Re: distilled water
