Can anyone recommend a good hairdresser/barber in the S8 area, please? My son is 10 and we've been to the same barber for years, which we drive to, but he hated the last cut and wants to go somewhere else. Think he wants something more modern with a bit more style - typical pre-teen! I know there are loads of salons on Woodseats but I'd love some recommendations please, as I've no idea which ones are good. Within walking distance of Woodseats/Abbey Lane would be ideal. Thanks all.

Sheffield Council Properties - pets (cat) in flats policy
Aqua replied to Aqua's topic in Sheffield Property & Housing
I'm looking out for a ground floor one, preferably a maisonette with it's own entrance, so when one comes up, I'll ask about the cat issue. Thanks both. -
I've been on the council waiting list for just over 5 years and don't have a chance of being first in line for a house - I've bid on several and I'm usually about 30th in line! I'd be more than happy with a flat and they often have no other bidders so I'd be first in line, however I have a cat. Am I right in thinking they don't allow ANY pets in flats, or is it just dogs?

Thanks for the garage recommendation, I'll give them a ring. No idea where they are but I have a trusty A-Z! The sunroof leak is definitely leaking between the car roof and sunroof frame, not where the glass is, as it's coming through the material and the front seats are getting soaked. I don't want to go messing about under the bonnet myself as I'm not mechanically minded at all - I'll leave that to the professionals!

I've got an 11 year old Renault Clio which needs some repairs. The first thing is the sunroof leaks so think the seal needs replacing. The other thing is it has an intermittent stalling issue. I've done a bit of online research and it seems the most likely reason for this is the electric throttle body needs replacing, which apparently is a very common issue in that era of Clio. Can anyone recommend a garage that is good with Clios? Ideally in or close to S8. Thanks.

Good second hand car dealerships to sell car to?
Aqua posted a topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Unfortunately I can no longer afford to run my car and need to sell it. Does anyone know a good dealer that might buy an 11 year old Clio and won't rip me off? Would prefer one in or around S8 if possible. Thanks. -
Olympic Torch in Sheffield- megathread
Aqua replied to Unregistered's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
I'm planning on taking my 6yo son to watch this evening, either down towards the bottom end of Eccesall Rd or in town. How likely are we to get parked around the West One/Fitzwilliam St area? Or would we be best to travel by bus? We're coming from Woodseats. -
Fright Night - 30/10/2011 - Sheffield City Centre - Megathread
Aqua replied to Rich's topic in Going out in Sheffield
Fright Night's little brother takes place on The Moor from midday until 3pm, ideal for little ones. -
I've seen a few old posts on this but I know stylists move around a lot, so I'm looking for up to date info please. My hair is armpit length and very curly/frizzy, so I'm looking for a stylist who's an expert in cutting curly hair, preferably in the Woodseats/S8 area or city centre. Does anyone have any recommendations please?

Scrap men and thieves stealing scrap - Megathread
Aqua replied to Zain_SF's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
They do this around S8 too. About a month ago my dad was coming to my house at around 8am, as he takes my son to school on the days I work. I live in a terrace, and as my dad was coming down the passage between the houses to get to my back door. a man was coming the other way. He saw my dad and said 'Just looking for scrap mate', then left. The passage leads to four back yards/gardens, so he was clearly casing gardens for stuff to steal. I left for work shortly after but didn't see them myself, although if I catch them in my garden or any of my neighbour's gardens nicking stuff, there'll be hell to pay. -
What's happening on Scarsdale Road 24th Feb 8pm?
Aqua replied to Aqua's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Oh dear. Hope no-one's seriously hurt. I use that road daily and it's so dangerous if people don't know it well and are going too fast. -
What's happening on Scarsdale Road 24th Feb 8pm?
Aqua posted a topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
I live at Woodseats and can see Scarsdale Road from a distance out of the bedroom window. I first noticed flashing emergency services lights on the road about an hour and a half ago and wondered what's happening. Does anyone know if there's been an accident? I've got family who travel down there regularly. Thanks. -
The beauty treatments megathread - do NOT advertise in here
Aqua replied to Loops's topic in General Discussions
Just checked Immense Beauty's site and they don't offer spray tanning by the looks of it. -
The beauty treatments megathread - do NOT advertise in here
Aqua replied to Loops's topic in General Discussions
Can anyone recommend somewhere to have a good (i.e. even and brown, not orange!) spray tan in the Woodseats area? I've got a big event in 10 days where I'm wearing an evening dress and I'm deathly white, so would love a spray tan for a bit of colour. There are quite a few salons in Woodseats but I'm not sure which offer them and where would be best. Any recommendations? -
Shops that are open despite the snow (01/12/2010)
Aqua replied to notbusy's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Tesco on Woodseats is open and they have bread and milk but are running out fast - it was packed full of people buying those huge bottles of milk, and they only had a few bags of breadcakes left and not much bread. With the amount some people were buying, I was wondering if we are about to experience armageddon, or a similar 'Survivors' type situation. I went in for a few essentials - bread, milk, chocolate, wine. Am now happy. Greggs across the road is also open, but not sure how long for as I didn't go in. Just be warned - the pavements are slippery and mushy, which will be fun tomorrow if it all freezes over tonight. -
Where can I buy Levi's from in Sheffield or Meadowhall?
Aqua replied to Aqua's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Thanks, but I work in the week so won't be able to get there. -

That's brilliant, thanks. I had no idea there was a Levi's shop at Meadowhell! Will check it out. -
Letters through doors wanting to buy your house
Aqua replied to laura2201's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
I'm in Woodseats, just off the main strip, and I got one of these yesterday. I rent, so it went straight in the bin. Just pulled it out and it's from the elusive Julie! Bet The Star would love this (non) story!
