You're not serious, right?

Had food from them last night - and was excellent as usual. I'm now having to avoid gluten, they have a GF pasta, and if you ask whether a certain sauce/recipe has gluten in it they do find out for you which is great!

I wish they would open up now and get it over with - I need to get some basics from Ikea and don't fancy a trip to Leeds or Nottingham! I like JL and Ikea - for different things. If I could afford JL furniture I'd prefer to buy from them but it is out of my budget unfortunately. Ikea is great for 'basics' so I hope they do open a store near Sheffield.

With so many shops empty in the city centre wouldn't it be good if one of them were turned into a book exchange? I don't mind what a book looks like as long as I can read it - whenever I'm at the Hallamshire hospital I buy a book or 6 from their little charity shop. I've never noticed their books being brand new, so I guess they might welcome older books? I've recently taken boxes full of books to a St Luke's charity shop, I hope they weren't all discarded

I love old books and 2nd hand bookshops are my favourite place for finding them. Why are there so few of them around??

I'm glad you had a better experience, I went in October as I was going to attend a wedding and thought I'd treat myself. Maybe if you can remember/know the nail technician's name who did yours you could PM the OP?

Hi weenireeni - sorry to say I had the opposite experience there . My nails were unevenly filed, it felt like they weren't interested if you didn't want false nails. For the money I spent I could have done a much better job myself (had to re-do it afterwards and I'm no expert!) I too would like to know of somewhere to go to have my own nails done - a traditional manicure not all this new nail art/extentions/gell etc stuff.

What a beautiful place - and fascinating history. Hope they can find developers/investors

I agree with you BettyBooHoo! - this is the real world. I was also wondering about the 15 minutes extra. I'm sure most people have to work a few extra hours without extra pay every now and then or foresake a break because of work pressures. If you care about your job and want to make a good impression that is.

Is a plant not a living thing? Agreed. Why do people who choose to follow these alternative lifestyles always want to convert others?

You can buy it online http://www.pottersplants.co.uk/products/Tumbling-Tom-Yellow-Tomato,-Box-of-5-Plug-Plants.html were you after plants or seeds?

Have you decided where to go yet?

That is terrible news poor man - Hope he's ok

Rhinegold is where I bought two of mine

I agree with this, acers are lovely and every spring when mine get their leaves is a little bit of a wonder for me, I have 3 with different coloured leaves (yellow, light green and dark red) and they're beautiful. Sorry to hear about your dog

No problem - I've been too scared to go to the farm shop it wouldn't do my waistline any good... Only had some of the little tubs and the chocolate is divine (and gluten free yippeee). I think I'll have to give in to the temptation soon though - there are a few other flavours that I'd love to try like the roly poly

Here is a link to their location http://www.ourcowmolly.co.uk/farm-shop/

His little grandson obviously didn't like it

Last year B&Q had quite a few in - the prices were a lot lower than the nurseries as well. Not sure whether they'll do them again this year.

Yes you are, you can't compare the 2

It probably depends on what you want from your holiday. If it is to relax in the sun go for a swim and snorkel or scuba diving all day then the Maldives are great. Went years ago on a last minute deal and was scared it might be boring but it turned out the best holiday we've ever had. It was lovely - pure relaxation in beautiful surroundings with great weather - what more could you want?

What's wrong with a woman shaking someone's hand?
