The website looks good, and so does the ofsted report, but can you recommend it? -
Nursery queries and recommendations
personal5579 replied to fox20thc's topic in Sheffield Parenting Group
We have got 3 very close to our home, but vast majority of babies fall into the 0-9 months age range, with the odd couple of 1 year olds. We haven't found any yet with a godo number of kids around the same age! -
Nursery queries and recommendations
personal5579 replied to fox20thc's topic in Sheffield Parenting Group
Hi All, Were currently trying to find a nursery for our 2 year old daughter and its turning into a nightmare. We have visited 3 nurseries up to now where all we have done is turn around and walked out. Were not snobs but would like the nursery we choose to be clean (I appreciate that Nurseries are difficult places to keep tidy but I think there is a world of difference between untidy and unhygenic) with friendly approachable staff. We just want to book 1 afternoon session a week so she can have more interaction with other children that doesn't actually cost the earth. Perhaps we are deluding ourselves that without paying around £100 a month (that we seriously don't have) then it aint gonna happen! -
What do you think about suicide?

Good one, I was told "be a man and deal with your responsibilities". Which made me feel a lot worse, a lot more depressed, and significantly more suicidal. -
Sisters relationship is over: now what?
personal5579 replied to personal5579's topic in General Discussions
I'm not fussed what she chooses to do as long as she's happy. It's doin my head in cos' she is constantly at our house going on and on and on and on and on and on about it. I appreciate we need to be there for her but I just think she should move on! -
not even though of!

Sisters relationship is over: now what?
personal5579 replied to personal5579's topic in General Discussions
If this goes on for months it will do my head in. She insists they will remain the best of friends, but she still has feelings for him, yet he insists there are no feelings for her. How can they possibly remain friends? I have never known anybody remain friends after a split! Yes they are being amicable and they dont have to shout and ball etc. but still I can picture on what level they will have a friendship. What will happen when the other finds someone new? -
Does any1 know the latest position on this? I want my Sky channels back!

My sisters relationship with her husband of 10 years ended last month. My brother-in-law says he feelt trapped by the relationship, wanted other things, and needed to be single for a while. [Translation: he wants to play the field] They did try to make a go of it for a couple of weeks but he decided it wasn't going to work. He has moved out of their house, but hasn't taken all his stuff, and he clearly feels guilty cos he's constantly texting and emailing her asking how she is, etc, etc. He keeps "popping round" for bits of his belongings but refuses to take the lot. Meanwhile my sister is very upset, the whole thing came out of the blue, but she understands that its pointless trying to be with someone who doesn't love her. But she is insisting that they will remain the "best of friends" and still worships the ground he walks on, to the point that its starting to make me feel sick! I think she needs to get rid of all his stuff, get over the notion of them being "buddies" and move on with her life. I do feel sorry for her, and I'm upset too as my brother-in-law was one of my best mates, but I think shes afraid to get on with her life. Any ideas?

I remember when I was depressed a bumped into a work colleague in the city centre and she asked how I was and why I was off work. When I told her I was off with depression she said "well you don't look depressed!" Ha - if only she knew! -
Still can't get thru to customer services.

I understand where your coming from. We were in a similar situation when our baby was new born. None of our friends had kids and didn't understand what we were going through! Unfortunately our problem is that we have too many friends and family - we literally have to juggle appointments to see everyone! Good Luck though.

Thanks but done that about 10 times this morning! It didnt work

Anybody else missing some Virgin TV Channels this morning? Im in S9 and cant get the kids TV channels. I checked the service status page on the net but no mention of it. I've tried calling customer service but the line is busy (as usual).

personal5579 replied to personal5579's topic in General Discussions
I agreee with you. I do not use the word 'selfish' as a moral judgement. I was just pointing out that suicide, is by definition selfish. I have nothing but sympathy for those who choose to take their own lives, whatever problems they have they believe are insurmountable generally because they are severely depressed. Unfortunately if you are depressed many people tend to hind it and disguise it from others. -
What would it take for you to have an affair?

Cant imagine that I'd be in a position where I'd feel the need to stray. -

Your not giving me much confidence! So in North Sheffield where would be "desirable" and where would be "more readily available"? -

personal5579 replied to personal5579's topic in General Discussions
I think I said it earlier in the thread but - suicide is and HAS to be a Selfish act. Regardless of the circumstances, it doesn't matter where or when or how. That is no disrespect to the person who committs suicide. But to be able to take that step you have to remove the connections you have with your loved ones, otherwise you couldn't bring yourself to do it. But sometimes suicide is the only option for a person who is so low. -
How the hell do people afford kids?
personal5579 replied to Swan_Vesta's topic in General Discussions
Here goes: I work full time. My wife is a full time student. I earn £28k. My wife gets an annual student loan of £3k. We also get £100 per month in Child Benefit/Tax Credits. My mortgage is a stonking £500 per month and Car loan is £150 per month. We have an 18 month old infant and manage quite well. We certainly are not living on beans and toast everyday! We got out for a meal 1 a week, still get to the cinema now again, and have family days out. Sure there are times when we cant go far for a few days (usually at the end of the month). So if we can do it - why cant you?? -
Can anyone help with the following questions please? How long does it take to join the Sheffield Homes Housing Register? How long is the waiting time to get a property if your not classed as a "priority"?
