  1. One of the reasons I never go to town, hate the place.
  2. Might book a service and see if they can find out what's wrong that way, it's probably long overdue for one.
  3. It's come back on again and car really feels like it's struggling and really sluggish too, can't afford to get fixed if too expensive, bloody cars!!!
  4. Moaning about weather, cost of everything, potholes int roads etc etc lol
  5. Well whatever it was it seems to have sorted itself out after a good run today, thanks anyway.
  6. It's petrol and I did look at the manual and the symbol says toxic fumes warning light and I don't know what it means that's why I was asking if anyone knew!!
  7. Me and my hubby are very new to gardening. We are in the process of creating some flower beds. Trying to cultivate the soil as best we can and have pulled no end of big stones out, roots, and clay I think. How much more do we need to do, will our soil be ok? We got one little part reasonably flat and planted some flowers yesterday, hope it wasn't too wet to plant. Is there any tips, do we need to mix any top soil or compost in? Also the rest of our garden is just pebbles and have dug many out ready to plant, there are lots!! Will it be ok to plant amongst them or will it hinder the growth? Also soil is very wet.
  8. This post is on Facebook, it was a couple in the car, wasn't a taxi, says driver may have been drunk and speeding, nobody is hurt.
  9. Looked at a beekeepers website and they are solitary bees and cannot be removed, I don't mind cos they arnt bothering anyone.
  10. They are bumble bees, think I will leave them alone ---------- Post added 07-06-2015 at 15:44 ---------- But then again they keep landing on the garden and our dog is out there a lot and don't want her to get stung. Oh now just unearthed ants in a pot that contains our first dog's ashes!!
  11. We seem to have a bees' nest right under our back bedroom window. They have found a crack or hole in the brickwork and we have seen them going in and out. They arnt bothering us at all as they can't get in the house just into the wall cavity. What should we do, leave them, report that we have a nest or what?? Next door neighbour seems more bothered than us, came round to tell us last week. Told us to block up hole with filler, now that's just cruel isn't it?
  12. I am a cleaner and £10 an hour is really good for a private house, where I work at a school I get £6.86 an hour, not enough for what we have to do, very physical. I used to clean at a private house and got £8.00 and hour.
  13. There are parking spaces across the road which you pay on a meter, my parents park there when they are going swimming to St Paul's hotel, you might be lucky and get a space there or there is a car park just down near the crucible.
  14. Saw 2 cars yesterday in the bottom car park speeding around, doing wheel spins etc causing dust to fly up then off they went at speed out of the exit! Knob heads with nothing better to do, get a friggin life!!
  15. Thing is they can't block off entrances as council need access with their vehicles, also there is a large car park at the bottom which regular park goers use, also when they have football games the car park is used. Think they are just driving through the fences at the bottom, don't think they will ever be able to stop them unless they put big hefty lockable gates at all entrances which will cost too much.
  16. They really try to make it nice, planting flowers and new trees, tennis courts still there and basketball court. There is a group called Friends of Concord who come every so often and do a litter pick, plant and maintain flowers. The swing park for kids is nice too and they are always cutting the grass and cutting trees back etc but then you get the yobs, and the usual dog fouling. I always think the park is the nicest thing about living round here but there are always people to spoil it for the rest of us!
  17. There has been 3 in the last 2 weeks it just gets worse round here, not to mention the vandalism in the park, read on a notice board up there that there had been £10,000 of damage since January!!! Why do these thugs do this, they spoil it for the rest of us, they can't leave anything alone can they, makes me so mad!!
  18. We shop at Aldi, manage to get everything we need and good value too. Tried Netto in February and wasn't impressed at all, hardly had any yoghurts to choose from, they didn't have some things we wanted. Lidl is ok, haven't been for a while though.
  19. I have to agree about those crossings, bloody silly idea putting them there, I know people have to cross the road but is there no alternatives? I get cut up just about everyday, the other day it was a lorry, you really have to be careful and watch out for idiots!
  20. Did anyone see this, thought someone might have posted about it. I was coming down from childrens/university. There were police stopping traffic, allowing so much through, there were a few cars from what I could see and someone one the floor. Hope all involved are ok. That roundabout is so dangerous sometimes, I get cut up regularly on there.
  21. I still wouldn't give bank details to anyone, and I don't think they should go door to door, if you wanted to donate to charity you would look into it yourself surely, you can't trust anyone these days with all the scams going around.
  22. Don't like city centre at all, feel like an outsider every time I go into town, which isn't very often these days.
