So was I. It's over. Life goes on. If you let it.

On your side totally. But so glad I don't own a car and can post on the rubbish bus service threads instead - both is a waste of time and might slip and slide in my old boots tomorrow to get to the sales to buy bikinis and summer dresses

Beighton. rely on 30, 30A, 123. all year. had my wellies stored in the shed just in case this past 2 years. Now just to find the padlock key for tomorrow;)

Well at least check before walking on. They could be just filming it for YouTube and not really doing much to help - I always am immensely grateful for people who do not walk on by whatever their reason - because my Mum who lives down South, is registered blind and a similar thing happened recently. She was helped by some kind hearted people - and the majority of us are - but some prey on vulnerable people. Strength in numbers I say.

Thanks for that - Is there something wrong with me - I laughed so hard, the neighbours can't hear the storm brewing out there :)

I've just organised a successful charity concert in Beighton and do Voluntary work at Mencap. I play the piano on a voluntary basis for Registered Charities. There's more about me on my website. Also there's a podcast of me on Rony Robinson's Guest Slot on Tuesday 22nd Oct on BBC Radio Sheffield. Please contact me through my website if you are interested. Thank you. http://kamlapiano.com/index http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01jb39s

http://kamlapiano.com/indexYou probably have got sorted out by now. But just in case you haven't - I am a professional pianist who played for many weddings and functions at The Savoy Hotel in London and now live in Sheffield. There is more information on my website. You may have heard me promoting my Beighton Concert on BBC Radio Sheffield on Tuesday 22nd Oct on Rony Robinson's Guest Slot at 12pm. ---------- Post added 26-10-2013 at 21:53 ---------- [/color] Here's a link to the Podcast of the programme. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01jb39s

I can see that posties are really pushed these days- it's time people didn't take for granted that 1st Class means the next morning and that post doesn't always arrive before you've had your morning cup of tea. I have long since re-adjusted and know that post can come at anytime throughout the day. Each postie has a round and you can work out when you're most likely to get your post delivered. But it seems some people can't think that way and expect magic.

You must live in a flat? To have so many single unemployed teenage mothers as neighbours? Clearly the bedroom tax is having no effect on your road!

No it doesn't - That's just repeating another myth that gets repeated....and repeated.....and then many start to beleive it, like you. It doesn't work like that anymore.

There's a gap in the posts on this thread from Oct 2010 until now.....presumably everyone on the Forum has been quite happy with their Postie for the last 3 years. Have you seen the amount of Amazon and Ebay packages they now have to lug around? No wonder they leave some for the van - my postie deserves a knighthood.

What part of 'free or cheap service' are you not understanding?

A few years ago, I bought a drill and started a basic toolbox and added to it as the jobs piled up - I bought a DIY book, Google everything incessantly - and feel a kind of pride that certain jobs I can do myself. But if i need an expert to come and do something, then I understand i must pay their rate, no question. I have found some brilliant professionals on this forum when that has been the case. being female, alone and on a low income is no excuse to come on here begging for free services- sorry if that offends anyone - nice try.

Even funnier. Note to self - Do not post on Sheffield Forum after a little wine and then come back to read the next morning! I cannot believe I did that!!! Well spotted

:hihi::hihi:Now that's funny and made my Monday morning!!!Thanks.

Told ? By who? ---------- Post added 20-05-2013 at 01:37 ---------- <Whom> to keep the grammer police happy - of which i was one, but now a bit more lenient

Your lunchclub link isn't working. ---------- Post added 27-04-2013 at 21:47 ---------- Sheffield Mencap always need volunteers.

(I haven't read all the posts just the OP because there is no need) I have seen this happen - and I went to pay the fare for the person - it was refused. There was an awful situation where i was offering and the driver refusing to take it - just intent on kicking him off the bus. I have also paid teenagers fares sometimes when i felt their safety getting home was more important than whether i could afford it. The laughing people on this bus are disgraceful.And the conductress - 'you are a piece of ****' ?? My heart breaks - any one of us could be there. Shame.

:hihi:

A onesie? Jeez i hope I wouldn't even be cremeted in one. The most ridiculous money making fashion yet. Boiler suits - yes fine. but a fashion comfy item? cringe.

Don't be silly. Running a car doesn't even come close to 80p a bus journey calculated over a year. That's why savvy people don't run cars. Why do people post such idiotic comments on here.

This thread might be helpful. I just moved home and changed provider from talk talk ( always dropping out but was only£15 + VAT + peak calls - bill approx £26 - £31 monthly) to EE (£19 all inclusive - but off peak calls only from 7pm weekdays and all weekend) I have yet to receive my first bill, but as far as the service so far after 2 weeks - no dropping out and quicker to load pages. I will update as time goes on. http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1128206

A week later I cancelled my contract with BT ( you can do that within a certain time...not sure how long but i realised it was a bad deal and sorted it as soon as i could) Then I signed up a new contract with EE - now that is very confusing. I have a mobile phone contract with Orange. When i signed up for a landline and home broadband for £19 a month, I got a mobile dongle for 3 months for £10....it turned out to be with T Mobile when I started using it. Then a couple of weeks later, BT Openreach came to connect a landline. And 2 weeks after that, an EE Brightbox arrived by post at the same time an email appeared in my inbox saying my broadband was now connected and billing starts from today.........a little panic. But I had it all set up within 5 minutes, and after 2 weeks, it hasn't dropped out once. It is not fibre optic, just your ordinary broadband - I'll feel happier when I see my first bill but so far - the verdict is - wait a bit longer to get connected and then pay a lot less monthly. ---------- Post added 06-04-2013 at 00:35 ---------- These posts are really helpful for people like me who were looking for a new provider. Some companies don't broadcast amusing adverts and use that money instead to provide a better service. When did you see an advert for EE? However - those Plusnet adverts are funny......but they didn't get my money

My bus driver today greeted me with 'Hello Bonjour' and a big friendly smile (looking forward to his holidays in France perhaps) - and then proceeded to deliver me from Beighton to Sheffield town centre in 17 minutes - I never knew there was a bus service so good! The X30 runs every hour - just one bus going backwards and forwards all day - by TM. Now whoever designed and gave that bus driver the job is a genious. I won't be using the Trams much now.

it seems from posters with more experience than me - the temporary accomodation won't be that bad. I think the biggest danger is now taking whatever house the council throw at you. I know what it feels like to be alone and homeless with 2 children - you take whatever they offer because you're so grateful to have a home offer wherever it is. But that also can lead to misery in the months and endless years to come. That is your main concern - not the anxieties about the short term fix. I don't have any answers for you - except be careful what you accept because you may well be offered somewhere nobody else wants and then you will be stuck there for a very long time. And feel guilty for being unhappy in it when people are homeless. You can save yourself a lot of grief by staying calm and not accepting the first thing thrown at you. Like i did.
