Micropauses
Remember to take Micropauses when busy with work. Relax and drop your arms, shoulders and neck, take a few deep breaths and allow blood flow back into those tense muscles.
Try to micropause for 10 seconds every 10 mins during stressful periods, and particularly if you are feeling any pain or stiffness in your joints.

EPS would like another book tape dispenser. Does any team have any that are not being used, hidden away in a cupboard perhaps?
Also does anyone know how to get the cutter sharpened on tape dispensers?
Please let Jenny know if you can help.

I did a stationery order on Monday for EPS and it hasn’t turned up yet.
Just wondering if it has turned up anywhere else?
They usually arrive the next day
It should contain blu-tac, book tape etc.
