Yesterday I bought a feathered necklace from Claires to complete my daughter's native American costume. I am still yet to buy anything for myself :(

Sadly I've collected quite an array of festival stuff and have nothing left to buy!

I got a collpsible sink for £4.99 from Aldi yesterday, and a "Sleep lounger", an extra roomy sleeping bag, from Tescos. I am hoping I will be able to sleep in it because I hate sleeping bags but we haven't got enough room in the car for the duvet when we take my mum!

I purchased a shiny new sack trolley , first time I am using one, thought I would take the plunge seeing as im getting old (26!) and my dear ladyfriend is rather petite but wants to take enough beer to feed the german army (NFR NFC).

However after buying I had a panic attack! How receptive are the coaches and drop off mobiles to these being put on/in the luggage compartments. Has anyone had any trouble with this at all?

Been getting some last minute bits and bobs:

  • Waterproof jacket and trousers (sacrifice to weather gods)

  • airbed (my other seems to deflate a bit too much overnight)

  • liner socks (£13 for 2 pairs but well worth it)

  • outer socks

  • spray bottle (to put sun tan lotion in so i don't have to take my big bottle around with me)

  • insect repellent

  • 5 pack of lighters (don't work in a pub any more so don't find them!)

Just food, baccy and maybe some more booze to go!

Best buy ever was a large roll of gaffer tape. Now in it's sixth year it has rescued dodgy trolleys, holey tents, flapping space sheets, laceless boots, broken chairs, leaky wellies and the broken back of a mobe phone.

Oh, and gave my gf some interesting ideas...

Here's my list for this week -

2 x battery powered small camping lanterns

1 raincoat

2 boxes muesli bars

1 box of 20 glowsticks (some for sticking on our flagpole at night so we can find our tent easier)

AA batteries

Plasters

Fruit pots

5 disposable barbecues

2 pairs thick socks

2 picnic blankets

Glittery windcatcher for our flagpole

Tinned ravioli

2 packs of 3 vacuum packing bags where you squish the air out.

All from Poundland, grand total was £21! (some stuff was 2 for £1)

For anyone who hasn't been in there, they also do groundsheets, tent pegs (normal & heavy duty), guy ropes, bungee cords, tin plates & mugs, collapsible cups, short tripod seats plus a few other camping bits & pieces. Well worth checking out.

Now all I need is more food & booze....

The Tesco delivery man is my favourite guy this evening. He has just delivered me:

48 cans of Thatchers Gold

1lt Validvar Vodka

2 bottles of ropey tesco red bull type stuff

2 packs of Fig Rolls

2 bottles of water for decanting

My only problem is that the cans have come in 12x 4 packs rather than 2 crates- any ideas for securing them together....? x

Shrugged my shoulders and went out today and bought a new waterproof poncho and pair of waterproof trousers and jacket from my local ex army store. Should, hopefully, guarantee no rain.

I've ended up buying loads:

Wellies-£10 priceless shoes

Variety of long socks-£2.50 primark

From Poundland:

Foil Blankets

Memory Foam Insoles

6ft long bungee cords

Loads of food from Home Bargains, plus Pro Plus, some energy shot things for 19p, glow sticks and immodium rip offs

And some Vladivar(?) vodka from Tesco for £11 and 4 cans of pimms, soco and lemonade and G&T. Nearly bought 500ml of bombay sapphire for about £8.30, should have done really.

    • These challenges, ranging from internal conflicts to external pressures, require adept handling and strategic resolution. Organizational issues training equips employees and leaders with the skills and knowledge to identify, address, and mitigate these challenges effectively. This blog explores the significance of organizational issues training and how it can fortify an organization against various hurdles. Understanding Organizational Issues Organizational issues encompass a wide range of problems that can affect the efficiency, culture, and performance of a company. Common issues include: Communication Breakdowns: Miscommunication or lack of communication can lead to misunderstandings, errors, and decreased morale. Conflict Management: Interpersonal conflicts or departmental disputes can disrupt workflows and create a toxic work environment. Change Resistance: Employees may resist changes due to fear of the unknown, lack of trust, or inadequate communication. Employee Engagement: Low levels of engagement and motivation can lead to decreased productivity and higher turnover rates. Operational Inefficiencies: Inefficient processes and systems can waste resources and reduce profitability. Cultural Misalignment: Misalignment between organizational culture and business objectives can impede strategic initiatives. The Role of Organizational Issues Training Organizational issues training focuses on equipping employees with the tools and techniques needed to navigate and resolve these challenges. Here’s why it is crucial: 1. Enhancing Communication Skills Effective communication is the cornerstone of a healthy organization. Training programs can help employees develop active listening skills, clear articulation, and the ability to provide and receive constructive feedback. Improved communication reduces misunderstandings and fosters a collaborative environment. 2. Developing Conflict Resolution Abilities Conflict is inevitable in any organization, but it doesn’t have to be detrimental. Training equips employees with conflict resolution skills, such as negotiation, mediation, and problem-solving techniques. This helps in transforming conflicts into opportunities for growth and innovation. 3. Facilitating Change Management Change is a constant in today’s business world. Training programs on change management help employees understand the dynamics of change, develop adaptability, and learn strategies to cope with and support organizational changes. This reduces resistance and enhances the successful implementation of new initiatives. 4. Boosting Employee Engagement Engaged employees are more productive, committed, and likely to stay with the company. Training on employee engagement strategies can help managers and leaders create a motivating work environment, recognize and reward contributions, and build strong, supportive teams. 5. Improving Operational Efficiency Training in lean management, process improvement, and project management can help employees identify inefficiencies and develop solutions to streamline operations. This leads to better resource utilization, reduced costs, and improved overall performance. 6. Aligning Organizational Culture Training programs can reinforce the organization’s values, mission, and vision, ensuring that all employees are aligned with the cultural and strategic goals of the company. This alignment fosters a cohesive work environment where everyone works towards common objectives. Key Components of Organizational Issues Training 1. Communication Workshops Interactive workshops focusing on verbal and non-verbal communication, active listening, and feedback techniques help employees communicate more effectively and collaboratively. 2. Conflict Management Seminars Seminars that cover conflict resolution styles, negotiation tactics, and mediation processes provide employees with practical tools to handle disputes constructively. 3. Change Management Courses Courses that address the psychology of change, strategies for managing resistance, and frameworks for leading change initiatives help employees navigate transitions smoothly. 4. Engagement and Motivation Training Training programs that focus on motivational theories, employee recognition strategies, and team-building activities boost morale and foster a positive work environment. 5. Process Improvement Training Training in methodologies such as Lean Six Sigma, Agile, and Total Quality Management (TQM) empowers employees to enhance operational efficiency and drive continuous improvement. 6. Cultural Alignment Programs Programs that emphasize organizational values, ethical standards, and cultural integration help employees align their behavior with the company’s strategic goals. Implementing Effective Organizational Issues Training 1. Needs Assessment Conducting a thorough needs assessment helps identify the specific organizational issues that need to be addressed. This ensures that training programs are relevant and targeted. 2. Tailored Training Solutions Customized training programs that reflect the unique context and challenges of the organization are more effective than generic ones. Tailored solutions ensure that the training addresses specific needs and objectives. 3. Interactive and Experiential Learning Interactive workshops, role-playing, and real-world simulations enhance engagement and retention. Experiential learning methods provide practical experience in dealing with organizational issues. 4. Continuous Improvement Organizational issues training should be an ongoing effort. Regular refresher courses, advanced training sessions, and continuous learning opportunities help employees stay updated and improve their skills over time. 5. Evaluation and Feedback Assessing the impact of training programs through feedback, surveys, and performance metrics helps in refining and improving the training initiatives. Continuous evaluation ensures that the training remains effective and relevant.   https://www.sprintzeal.com/

    • in his defence apparently he couldnt hear a thing 😅
    • I’m taking my kids for the first time this year. Is it disrespectful to others if you have your kids on your shoulders during gigs?    I assume not seen as some people have adults on shoulders. And flags pretty much block out the view on the main stages anyway. But I just wanted to know other people’s thoughts on this?   is it less acceptable in Woodsies or one of the smaller tents?   I’ve been stood behind Stephen Merchant at a gig before. Couldn’t see a thing.
