  1. Hi, Anybody know where I can find the services of a local maths tutor for private tuition? Cheers.
  2. Hi all, The answer to this Q may seem obvious but for clarification I just wanted to post it and have it officially answered: Me and a pal are thinking of moving into private rented accommodation. I'm a FT student and exempt from council tax. My friend is not a student. Would he qualify for single persons reduction? Cheers.
  3. Hi all, Just wondered if this is the right way to do it: I've started taking my running a little more seriously so I went and bought a HRM watch yesterday. I've been wanting to work out my "training zones" but to do that you need your resting heart rate. I'm not an athlete. The most activity I get really is walking to town and back, and literally avoiding public transport cos I really dislike it. I wont pay silly prices to sit and listen to mardy kids or stupid noises from pillocks at the back of the bus! But I walk a lot. Often with 2 or 4KG in my ruck sack depending on how I'm feeling. Anyway, woke up this morn and tested my [resting] HR (as it said so in the book, and various articles on the 'net), and it is regsitering as 40bpm. As I type now it's showing up as 46bpm. Is this actually accurate? I have read that only athletes or those with low blood pressures have HR's like that. I'm sure I don't have low blood pressure as I've passed an Army medical just a couple of months ago without any mention of low blood pressure. Also, does anyone know where I can get my HRmax tested? I read that Sheff Hallam Sports Dept can but has anyone been there before for that - do you have to pay, how do you arrange it?
  4. Sheffield City Council? If so, I was wondering what employee benefits you have? I was reading something about "preferential rates" at Sheffield International Venues (SIV) events?
  5. Hi all, There was an article on the 9th in The Sun: "Free uni for students who can live at home." Anyone happen to read it and have any more info? It skirted over "leaked documents" of a Government proposal.
  6. Hi all, I'm a little confused about my starting salary for a job I have been successful with just a fortnight ago. I noted the contracted hours as 15 hours per week for £13,679 per annum. I didn't pay much attention to that initially as A) I want the job for the job itself and B) I assumed that it was referring to that much should I be F/T. However when I got to interview it came to the point of talking salary and I was told that the contract was for 15 hours per week with starting salary of £13,679. I had no questions to ask. The following day I received provisional details (since my references have to be received by the company before being fully successful) stating what I was told at interview: that the starting salary would be £13,679 per annum and 15 hours per week. I'm used to hourly pay and really this is a step-up and I'm quite proud of that. But I need to be clear on this - am I correct in thinking then that for 15 hours work per week I'm going to be on £13,679 per year? I'm a poor bloke lol and if that pay is the case this would be terrific but only fools make assumptions. So am I actually going to be paid the above for that many hours or am I going to be paid for 15 hours of £13,679? Please advise.
  7. Hi all, Next week I am to begin a fixed term employment contract. Recently I have learned that I may have to leave the job and terminate it early. What are my rights in that context? I know my rights in a FTC but only in terms of employee protection, i.e. what the employer can and can't do, but what I don't know is what I can and can't do. Am I "allowed" to terminate the contract? Can the employer refuse to release me from the contract? I haven't a clue how the FTC's work as this would be my first one. Thanks.
  8. For those people that have dust allergy, what do you sleep in/on? I've been out all day and only just returned home. I had one of those Piriteze for the hayfever and it works well. But coming to my room, having crashed on my bed for a mo' I've had to leave the room due to immediate itchy eyes and I've been fine all day so rational deduction says I think I'm going to have to ditch my bed, but what's the alternative to the standard mattress?
  9. Hi all, Just wondered if anyone can recommend friendly ABC's around Sheffield with a good reputation for welcoming beginners?
  10. Thank you. I woke up this morning and was frightened to see my eyes had puffed up so bad! I have shut myself in a room, not my bedroom though because it seems that I'm sneezing and fighting irritation there than elsewhere in my house. I've shut all the windows, blah blah, but I think that my room may be dusty? Could be that, or psychological - I dunno, heading to see the GP tomorrow!
  11. Hi all, Just wondered the best cure for hayfever? I've heard of a jab...? Also, do the swollen eyes stay forever or what?
