Hi, Anybody know where I can find the services of a local maths tutor for private tuition? Cheers.

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.

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?

Erm..... Funny much?....

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?

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.

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.

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.

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?

Hi all, Just wondered if anyone can recommend friendly ABC's around Sheffield with a good reputation for welcoming beginners?

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!

Thanks for you advice, PT.

Hi all, Just wondered the best cure for hayfever? I've heard of a jab...? Also, do the swollen eyes stay forever or what?
