• In general you’re entitled to 5 days’ of sick leave each year after you’ve worked for your employer for 6 months.
• You can accumulate any unused sick leave up to a total of 20 days.
• Sick leave can be used when you’re sick or when you need to be off work to look after someone else who is sick or injured (your partner, child, or someone who relies on you for care).
• Even if you’re a part-time or casual worker, you’re still entitled to 5 days’ of sick leave a year (once you’ve worked for 6 months continuously or for an average of 10 hours per week, and at least one hour in every week or 40 hours in every month).
• Your employer can require you to provide a medical certificate if you’re sick for 3 or more days in a row, and you’ll need to pay to get it. If they want proof of sickness sooner then they will have to pay the costs of getting the proof.
These are the minimum sick leave entitlements. Your employer can agree to give you more.

I needed jellybeans urgently but was so out of it I couldn't find them. A young staff member from the store obviously saw I was in distress and approached me. He took me over to the seats and notified the Supervisor/Manager, I'm sorry I was so out of it I didn't get his name. He also got a staff member to get me a bottle of water. He stayed with me checking I was not worse until my delightful neighbors arrived to drive me home.
He also saw I had a shopping list in my trolley, the first time in my life I had made a list. He asked a younger staff member to go and get the remainder of my shopping. When I realised what he had done and my neighbors arrived I gave them my card to pay for them. But the lovely man refused to let me pay, and said it was the least they could do.
Yes, believe it or not, there are still some caring people around. Not all shops are just out to make money, they actually care about their customers.
I've always shopped at this store, and will certainly continue to do so.
Thank you sir and to your staff. You really helped me when I really needed it. Next week when I hope I can drive again I will be in to personally thank you all.
YOU ARE ALL AMAZING!!!

The conditions at Rainbow at the moment are exceptional with lots of snow and plenty of fine weather to enjoy it.

At the Farmers Market there are just 2.
In both places I have seen vehicles/people abusing them. I have taken the numbers of the cars in question and in one instance a video too of 5 young male occupants all looking to be fully mobile, who approached their vehicle, climbing in and driving off, but what, if anything can I or anyone else do about it please?
This slasher was going well when stored under the trees ten years ago. I suspect it will need some new belts and some WD40 to get going but a good rugged item. six feet wide including 3 feet off set to the right. PTO driven. phone 5445556
having a tidy up of the sheds , and the tractor for these went several years ago so not much use to me now.
