    So have had more texts and have arranged to sell the box, the person is coming from a good distance away, I would've met them half way, but I'm just not sure if I trust them and it's honestly more to do with the time and frequency of texts rather than the lack of any spelling, honest .

    My Mum has spells of having no concept of acceptable times to text. Don't get me wrong, we all know I'm not early to bed, but I've been woken up by texts at 1-2am from her before now. I don't quite get why some people don't think about it first..? I don't turn my phone off as it's my alarm clock so I get stuck with them!

    We've told the student that unless she reports her then it will be a frequent occurrence for her, every single staff member has had issues with this person, she comes into the unit often at 4.30 am to see me

    Do you know ... that's something we often ask where I work too - and yet many people I know who would be way better at the job ... are stuck way down the ladder & just seem to get no-where.:(
