  1. I got a 2nd lot today! Bank statement and an invitation to give blood. Mid 2012.
  2. Yep, I got the same letter, also Chapeltown. I got a letter from Sky dated Feb 2012! Must have been going on for some time, given the span of date marks. My friend got an August 2012 magazine.
  3. Can I ask how much per hour you would be paying knitters to do this for you? Jumpers/sweaters are often a labour of love for a knitter as they can can take anything from weeks to months to make, depending on the complexity of the pattern. At an hourly wage for a skilled craftsperson, this can often be prohibitive, especially with expensive yarns. Do you mean a machine knitter?
  4. If you still end up looking for something, we use an iPuppyOne harness (sold on Amazon, about £13) for our whippet because with her very fine coat, most harnesses rub. These are super-soft, couldn't recommend enough!
  5. I'd tell them that unless you complete in x weeks, you're pulling out. If they want to sell, then it's them who should be renting while they are looking! Good luck.
  6. What a fascinating map! Shame there's no road names, but really interesting and amazing to compare with what is there now!
  7. And the garage is number 6?! Weird! I walk up and down that little lane that turns into a path and leads up to the field all the time, and I never knew that. The houses up there are all on other roads, it's just the back gardens and garages of homes, there are no front doors... I wonder what number 2 and 4 were and where? Does anyone have any old maps that it shows up on?
  8. Ooo speleo1 that's interesting! Thanks for the link! The name Coit came from the goit leading to the mill in Ecclesfield" What the heck is a goit?! Doom - yeah I know about the school (my kid goes there!) but there's no Coit Road or anything nearby any more. I'd never heard of Coit Lane til I paid more attention to my till receipt from the garage. Weird! x
  9. I've just cleared out some rubbish and receipts from my bag, and have one from Steadfast Garage in Chapeltown from January, that gives the address as 6, Coit Lane, Chapeltown, S30 4TE. I can vaguely remember the postcode changing to S35 - but I've never heard of Coit Lane. I thought it was Ecclesfield Rd from the roundabout onwards? And does anyone know the origin of the word "Coit"? There's also Coit Primary school, but I'm not aware of any other Coit-names. Thanks! x
  10. Speak to your community police team. They'll advise you.
  11. Dreadful, if youre tempted then try and find an offer, dont pay full price! All the holes are the same, my 9 yr old was bored. X
  12. Im not too thrilled to see that the proposed route goes right through Hesley Wood. Between that and Recycoal, there wont be much left in 20 years. Sad.
  13. Im happy to recommend steadfast too, ive used them for the last 10 years and never had a problem.
  14. Can't WAIT!! I'm so excited! WHat a brilliant thing for the city - I may never get to see a stage in France, so I can't believe it is coming within a mile of my home :-)
  15. The thing is, the overheads are too high for high street and shopping centre shops. I want to buy the Miranda Series 1 and 2 boxset, so I looked online - it's under £14 on Amazon and Play.com, and it's £35 in HMV!! I am all for supporting the high street, but not at more than double the price.
  16. No its not good, this has made me really sad. I like the air quality around here just as it is. I feel so sorry for anyone who lives closer than I do, and people who have respiratory issues already. Sigh.
  17. Sadly it is vastly under-used. I used to go there for running training, and it was often deserted. I have run around there in circles for an hour and a half and not seen another soul in the past.
  18. Had to laugh at the locking wheel nuts, I use the same garage for everything, and every time they call me and ask me where the wheel nuts are. And every time I tell them hey are wherever they put them last time they did anything to my car! I never touch the things!
  19. I'll swap you for the moron we share a road with, who has struggled to get his car started (doesnt stop him trying for ten mins every day, before slamming the door, going back in the house, slamming the door, to retrieve the keys to his mums car so he can use that to jump start his car, slamming every door in the process) every morning at roughly 5.30am for the past few YEARS! I lose count of how many...definitely more than three. I have asked nicely, I have asked less nicely, makes no difference. Sigh. Too thick to have any clue at all! good luck with the old lady!
  20. I think youve read something into nothing there!
