  1. Hi, can anyone recommend somewhere I can buy fleece jackets and weed fabric? I normally get fleece jackets on ebay and have been buying weed fabric from poundland but they seem to be out of stock. Thanks in advance
  2. Hi, I've finally got myself a compost bin and wondered if anyone had adapted theirs to capture the liquid. I would like to know if it's possible to get a container that fits nicely beneath the bin that i can fix a tap to or is it not necessary if i have compost? Also should I sit the compost bin on a plastic board or similar or is it ok to sit on the bare earth?
  3. Hi, My grandson is an apprentice joiner and in his first year alternating between site work and college. My question is this; all apprentices are initially equipped with a number of tools and these can be taken home at the end of each day or left in a locker on site. So what happens when some of his tools are stolen when on site, who is responsible for replacing them? Thanks in sdvd÷÷dè
  4. Morning everyone, OK my daughter found some keys on the field/path between Wordsworth Ave and Rokeby Rd yesterday . They'll be taken to Ecclesfield police station unless someone contacts me to claim them today. Picture attached when I work out how to! Keys now reunited with owner
  5. Hi. There's a lovely shop in Ecclesfield called Pete's Frames, it's at the bottom of Yew Lane.
  6. Thankyou I've managed to get slight relief from some tea tree cream
  7. I'll try and post a pic so that you can see what I'm trying to describe. I was cutting the hedge on Sunday and ended up with large red raised areas that itch slightly. I have these on the top of my left thigh and on the top of my bottom or lower back. Anyone know what could have caused this please?
  8. They were such a close couple so it's awful to see them this way. Their daughter is having to sort a lot out at the same time as working and it's not good for her either. I've looked on a few websites including macmillan but as I said his wife gets annoyed for some reason. She wants him in care so she can visit. She constantly says she can't cope but he's really not that bad. He can walk and talk and often makes meals or drinks when really she should. Oh there's something else, she regularly stays in bed until after lunch. Do you think this is denial?
  9. Hi, as the title suggests I'm looking for help for the wife of a cancer sufferer (brain) . He's had his chemo and radiotherapy treatment which has left him very unsteady on his legs which they say is due to bone weakness. He hasn't lost much hair yet but his memory and speech are the main problems for him. His wife seems unable to cope and it's causing a lot of concern. She left work to look after him but now keeps wanting to go out either drinking, dining or shopping. One day at home and she's climbing the walls. She used to be such a loving, caring wife but now all she wants is to push him into a care home. Any help with transportation or requests to visit them at home are very welcome but then she uses them as a means to escape. Visitors have sat waiting for her often very late return before leaving. Any other advice is not appreciated and people offering dietary advice or ideas for something to occupy his time have been snubbed or practically insulted. She refuses to have any carers but there's a real worry about his diet which is comprised of anything from a tin or a sandwich. Sometimes he looks defeated or teary and I'd welcome any advice or information on possible avenues of help.
  10. Hi. Does anyone know if I can use vicks vapour rub as a humidifier for a 10 month old? Some people are saying yes but others say you should never use vicks vapour rub on infants. Obviously it wouldn't be on his skin. He's really congested but struggling to clear it. Thanks in advance
  11. Pop into your local area office and get it checked out. It's definitely worth checking asap.
  12. Hi I'm looking to insulate a garden shed and would appreciate your advice. I've found bubble roll and polystyrene boards in diy stores but has anyone got any ideas re: cost and effectiveness or even other materials ? Thanks in advance.
  13. Hi PT, the actual board had the slits in, it wasn't done on a piece of material. The picture itself was worked straight onto this board (it wasn't hard wood, don't know what it was really). Once the picture was finished you simply covered with clear polythene then attached the frame. All very light weight.
  14. Hi, When a youngster I remember one of my Christmas gifts one year were a couple of boxed embroidery kits comprised of two boards with lots of slits in and numbers or letters on to indicate the colour of thread to be used in particular areas. Then using a tool similar to a scalpel (except rather than a blade it had a flat square 'nib' on the end) you simply pushed the thread into the slots. The resulting pictures were of a horse and the second was of swans. My parents hung them on the walls for years. Did anyone else ever do this craft ? What I'm after is the name of this craft, for the life of me I simply cannot recall what it was called. Thanks in advance
  15. Hi, finally found it, it's Fools Rythm - Two Fingers thanks though
  16. Hi, I know it's past the event but i've had this laptop in the workshop and so couldn't access the internet so...................................i'm wondering if anyone can tell me the track or artist behind the music used in the England V Scotland ad that was shown recently. Wanted to get it as a ringtone. Many thanks.
  17. Hi, recently read the book by J P Bean and found the following documentary - don't know if it's already been posted but some of you may find it interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vN_0uPa15kI
  18. As a child I very often recall the radiogram my parent's had and the collection of vinyl singles and LP's. It's nice to hear the old songs occasionally and have a sing a long but there's one song that I never hear and can never find on my computer searches. The song I believe was called Napoli and was sung by Max Bygraves, it was the 'B' side and for the life of me I can't remember the 'A' side song title. Anyway the lyrics (part way in) go something like..................'and there waits my Tina, my bella amore, and when I return she'll be mine (she'll be mine). You can bet your life Jack when this wanderer gets back, all the church bells will ring merrily, and ..(something).. there'll be Tina, my ...(something)... bambina, ..(something)...in old Napoli I hope someone remembers this song cos I'd love to be able to find it again. Thanks in anticipation
  19. Hi, I've been trying to pre book 5 tickets for today's show but don't find any booking links - can you help please? I'm panicking now as I have to visit my mum in hospital this afternoon and fear I may be too late to book any tickets. Can you send me the booking website please?
  20. What about Sheffield Homes Inspectors - I booked a couple of days off this week and booked an inspection for Monday morning. Got up and waited all day and he never showed up. Then got a text today saying he would come on Wednesday morning!!! Luckily it's a day off again but it means I may not get a chance to use my last day as I wanted to. Why couldn't they phone me on Monday and arrange this with me, do they assume every council tenant doesn't work or can have time off willy nilly? So annoying.
  21. Hi, am looking for info on painting concrete skirting boards - I'm removing the old white paint in my kitchen but there's a mixture of red and also green left on the actual skirting - can anyone tell me what this may be please? Do I have to remove it as well or can I just sand it and gloss over it - it's very hard going and especially more so with my kitchen being the biggest room in my house - thanks in advance.
