  1. I think I would prefer to leave my car in the bottom car park and as near to the platforms as I can just so it's in view of people passing through. I would imagine that the overflow would be quite deserted at times. I don't know that there have been any problems with break ins/damage etc. When you say early I guess you mean before 7am as it gets busy by then.
  2. Thanks for all the suggestions. I like them all! We're going to see what the weather's like and decide in the morning.
  3. I'm meeting a female friend on Wednesday to have a trip out but we're not sure where to go. We'll have my 3 month old baby with us so also needs to be pram friendly. We're struggling to think of somewhere different to go and are assuming the weather is dry. We've already discounted Cannon Hall Farm, Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Chatsworth, Sheffield centre and Wentworth Garden Centre. Please can anyone provide any sensible suggestions for us? Ideally we'd like lunch and a stroll around somewhere outdoors. We don't need to go somewhere specifically for children, like a play centre, my son will be happy in his pram wherever we go as long as I feed him! Thanks in advance.
  4. Hi is it like the kind from Asda? If so I have a pdf version of the instructions I can email if you want to private message me your address?
  5. There are a few places around the Peace Gardens that are nice for food - Browns, Piccolino's and Ego (other side of the Mercure Hotel) or in Leopold Square there are Strada and Zizzi which are good. I believe that Bar & Grill is nice but I've not been. Enjoy!
  6. I agree with Piccolino's for a business meal.
  7. I would recommend it but it's not for everyone. I've had a membership for a few years and have bought all sorts. Family/friends have regularly bought nappies and wipes there as the prices are generally about the same/slightly better than other places but they often have offers so it's a chance to stock up. If you've got the space it's worth getting loo rolls, kitchen towel, boxes tissues etc I've bought a couple of TVs there before and today I've bought a new microwave/combination oven. I had a quick look online to compare prices and it was £50 cheaper than elsewhere - I might have got lucky with that one so don't assume all prices are that much cheaper! The pizzas are great for families or visitors. I also buy meat there. It is decent quality so I freeze in individual portions if not using. It may be worth asking if you can go and have a look. I think I've seen someone else mention that you can do that.
  8. I've been a couple of times and food was lovely. ukdobby from memory I think they had a few real ale types as well as the regulars.
  9. I used Avante and they were great. Search for them on the forum for other recommendations.
  10. There is some info about markets in the city centre on the Sheffield City Council website although it doesn't look like it's been updated for 2012 yet - http://www.sheffield.gov.uk/business-economy/markets There may also be info on this site http://www.welcometosheffield.co.uk/events but I haven't looked in great detail.
  11. True but something does appear to have happened at JTF too. The road around it was closed earlier on and there was a fire engine directly outside the store with the car park closed and empty when I went past about an hour ago. Hope everyone's ok.
  12. Hi HenHugger, my niece is nearly 8 months old and has been to stay with me a few times. I got a car seat for my car and a travel cot to keep at my house in one of the Asda Baby Events. If you leave it until the end of the sale they sometimes reduce the items - eg my car seat was £12.50. I have a blanket and sheets for the travel cot and I got baby shampoo/bubble bath/sponge/ducks(!) for bath time. Everything else travels with my niece - sleeping bag, clothes, nappies, milk powder/food, bottles, bath support, night monitor, toys etc. She's grown so quickly so wouldn't have got the use out of any clothes/toys that would have been left at my house. She's getting to the stage where she'll be on the move so I'm going to have to get a gate/barrier like medusa suggests. You won't need that for a few months so you've got time to save for it. Enjoy!
  13. I used the Charity Unleashed voucher last year at the Leopold Hotel. I think it was the most expensive option which included a glass of champagne and I thought it was lovely, very civilised. It's not something I would have done ordinarily so not sure how it compares to St Paul's etc.
  14. Thanks Medusa, never mind. Anniec it's definitely worth a look if you're in York or Manchester - the latter store being slightly bigger.
