Can anyone tell me whereabouts hair by Christmas is? It apparently moved to 269 Fulwood Road, but the only hairdressers I can see along there is S & M Hair? Please don't tell me I am going crazy or something! Thanks

No you're not going crazy - it's by the post office. It's quite a small window with Christmas trees in it!

Cheers .....

Thanks Stevesheff - your suggestion worked! Can't think why it went down but it's working again, it's kind of re-set itself.

Thanks again, Ashanta (& son)

Hi

My son has one of these and when he went to switch it on only the backlight was working and the Sony Ericsson logo. It was only off overnight and was working before. It won't do anything else. Any (polite) suggestions?

Cheers Ashanta

Hi there and thanks everyone - I'm off to get my mugshot done right now!

Hi

Does anyone know where the photo booths are now in the city centre? Or any photo shops who do them at a reasonable price?

Cheers

Aitor, yep, there's usually apartments all year round but it can take ages to find something suitable at the right price. I assume you have somewhere to stay for a few weeks while you look - it can take weeks and there is always lots of paperwork - i.d., credit checks etc.

Renting privately is less hassle and cheaper - you may find something on here.

Buena suerte...

Hi

Thanks so much for your hints. I think I added too much flour and left it in the oven a little too long. Also the recipe said not to knead it or prove it so next time I will do both - though by hand 20 minutes will be a killer!

I will certainly check out the website as I cannot find any "heavy" real bread and hate that rye stuff that's in packets!

Thanks Ashanta

Hi just made my first spelt loaf. It's really tasty and was easy to make but it's quite heavy (I used wholewheat spelt). I wondered if I could add something to lighten it a little without using wheat? - It's already stuffed with seeds. I think I overcooked it as the outside is rather crisp!

Also, will this freeze as well as "normal" bread?

Cheers

Ashanta

Go home and take that Spaghetti muck with you.

I guess by now you will have come across the special kind of humour we have in Sheffield

Hi

Lymington is a nice place if you want a small town (typical seaside but not naff). There's a posh harbour; a few shops, lovely pubs and some great beaches on this stretch. We've been a few times and there's plenty of cottages/houses. It's not far from the New Forest and you can visit Poole or even Bournemouth if you need retail therapy.

I would recommend Suffolk as well if you don't want to go so far. Southwold, Aldeburgh etc are picturesque and plenty of walking, beaches & good bars, restaurants and shops.

Have a great time wherever you go!

They would have been professional collectors on commission looking for Direct Debits.

 

If you really feel they upset you:

 

How do I go about making a complaint to WWF?

No, they didn't upset me that much! I was just curious as to why WWF use the "Car sales" technique. I actually think it's a good cause but would rather decide myself when and where I give money etc. I guess it must be a commission thing but it's certainly put me off them...

Last night there was a team of young people going around our street, wearing black uniforms with WWF emblazoned, badges, clipboards etc. I did answer the door (wish I hadn't) to a very insistent young woman who proceeded to tell me about saving the Amazon etc. I listened as long as I could but told her politely that I wasn't interested in signing anything at the door and make my own arrangements for charities/causes etc. "Why not?" she went on and totally changed her demeanour.

I just found it odd that such a long standing, worthy cause would resort to a team of hard sellers. Are they real??

Hi

My son has volunteered for the King Ted's Sport Relief Mile on Friday but (typical of 14 year old) cannot tell me where it is, what time or why he has to pay 50p just to run in it! We are all chipping in to sponsor him but wouldn't mind knowing where it is. Is it just King Edwards? Any other pupils running who have remembered what the teacher said?

Ashanta

Hi swarfendor43

Thanks! - I tried the HP site and there was a patch for windows 7 upgrades. It's fine now!

Cheers

Ashanta

Hi, I changed over to Windows 7 ages ago and have been using an HP printer without any problems. It installed straight away and hasn't given any problems. However when I try to open HP Solution centre (Printing is not so good) it immediately closes down and says no device installed which is clearly not the case.

Any ideas?

Cheers

From their website:

 

 

 

Who is your electricity with?

Im with NPower but they knew nothing of the visit and say he was probably just in the area.

0800073300 hope this helps

Thanks, will try!

I need to contact Meterplus as I am somewhat disgruntled with one of their meter readers who was quite stroppy. He wasn't even sent by NPower and made me feel like a criminal. Anyone have an email/number>>

Are the bin men managing? Any collections in S10? Should I get my skates on and bring the bin back in again?

Hello

Well, it's still doing that strange wet fine snow thing but continuously and the icicles are thawing. Crookes main road clear plus Lydgate. Side roads slushy. Buses ok so far.

Good luck!

Why would they be sitting around doing nothing? and as for getting up early:loopy: words fail me sorry

Why would they be sitting around doing nothing? Don't know but they were. Getting up early? - my son gets up at 7.30 weekends and all but I'm just trying to say that it seems pointless. Why do people have to reply with roll eyes and sarcy comments etc? Can't you accept a difference of opinion? That's what a forum's for.

Well, I'm going out to play in the snow.

I'm sorry but it does them good, and since when did kids not like going out in the snow? Just walked up to Nether Green school through the snow and my daughter loved it. School was open every day last week too.

Yes, kids love going out in the snow but not getting up early and sitting around in a classroom doing nothing until they're sent home. It's as bad today as the day my son's school was closed so I am expecting a text any minute. It is quite heavy now in S10, looks nice though.

Hi

The schools are open (see, they can do it for exams!) but for how long?? Is it worth sending the poor mites out for an hour or two?

Up in Crookes it has snowed quite a lot and still going ....

Hi

Anyone seen a 52 Stagecoach (Crookes) today?

Thanks.

Hi

How was the City Centre today? Were the shops, banks, hair salons, cafes etc open? I need to go tomorrow, wondered if it was worth it?? Any news for tomorrow?

Cheers...
