We've had a "washing machine/tumble dryer/dishwasher/oven man." for quite some time. My wife knitted his new baby daughter a jumper, she's married with three kids of her own now.

Err.. Dulsit? I thought they sold shoes! (sorry!)

That's true. It happened before I came to Sheffield but some of the local lads and lasses tell stories of Attercliffe once being a rather cool part of town with lots of shops and pubs and people living in the area. Now as you drive through it it is depressing. There are shops there, the kind...

I must admit my wife wanted to call Rhonda, "Golly." It was what she said when I replied to her question; "So how much did this one cost?"

Doghouse is right with his "I'll have a think about it and let you know." Also, if it fits the situation, you can say. "Thanks very much. I'll take some advice on it and get back to you". If they try to push you on it or are being awkward never get angry and always be polite. The angry...

clueless, just caught up with this. I'm sure you have made the best decision and can also take some time to decide what you want to do. It's a bad time (still) for all people in employment but take comfort in the fact that you do have flexibility. A part time job sounds like a good idea while...

So true...so true...

Yes, sadly despite claims that we are 'civilised' these days, it still seems to be a fundamental truth that the there are always plenty of people about that thrive off those they are able to take advantage of.Everyone is equal, but some are more equal than others.

borrowers, I will keep my fingers crossed that you will be back to normal in the New Year, have a nice Christmas in the mean time :gnthb:

Hi Rosa,you need to get yourself a steering lock like I suggested to you yesterday.Don't know whether Halfords still do them but that is where we got ours from after we had one of our cars stolen. Also tell the Police when they come this morning that you are concerned that your number plates...

Brilliant! :gnthb: I love looking at these works of art and agree with Steve about it being a pity that they are done outside and wash away all too quickly.

"Hangin' about" in Tesco's waiting for my wife today. I noticed a "freeview" box the same size and not much thicker than a DVD box, for eighteen quid. I've an old 14" analogue portable in a unit I made above my computer desk, it's in a "box" not much wider than the TV set. I managed to slide the...

The original which article can be seen if you click meno mention of a jaclyn or 10 people though.

I think he would scare me too Roders. :usr: 02

I reckon the Nasturtium is doomed, though that said mine is still clinging to life by its fingertips. It is not a very hardy plant at all and the first frost usually wipes it out in my experience.As for snow acting as an insulator, yes snow is just ice, but the ice crystals are like fibres,...

Hi clueless. Yeah, it's a good site. I belong to a few "science" sites but I find that to be the best one.:wink: It gives you both sides of any argument. Have a look at the AGW arguments:hehe:

LoL------WE have 15 to 18 inches here. Fell between Friday night and Saturday night.

WE have over here,---15 to 18 inches of snow. Just fell between Friday and Saturday night. Guess I've got to get out there and shovel.
