Chesterfield Discussion / Chesterfield and District New Parkinson's Group
« on: February 05, 2024, 05:07:18 PM »
A new group for people with Parkinson's and their support workers/family is being set up.
Still in it's early stages the groups committee are looking for premises where meetings could be held.#
I'll update once a venue and date/time has been sorted out.

see you there, I really enjoyed the last one..

You are welcome! This one is different and it's based on what was called The Bubble Car murder.
I think I'm going to download the book onto my kindle

Every time they put the stamp prices up it's another nail on the R.M.'s coffin.

Lets face it the vast % of what drops on your doormat is junk nowadays, but good or bad this is what is helping keep them afloat.
I was a latecomer to technology {computers mobiles and the like} not till I was in my 60's and I still haven't fully grasped all it has to offer, this is why I still insist on hard copies of my bills etc. by post, even though I can usually look it up on line. There are some companies I deal with that tell me they will charge me for a postal bill, for example EE charges £3:80 per posted bill and it probably costs them 50p tops to send it out, but I work on the principal of while ever I need a posted bill delivering there's a need for a postman/woman.


I had to learn the techie thig of using laptops for my work years ago. Did two courses and yes they helped as prior to that I couldn't even switched a laptop on!!
I print a lot of my own paperwork these days and use external drives for storage.
Rubbish at putting posters together though  :))  I know a man that can and he's pretty good bless him. :)

I have missed Curry's the most as I get my ink cartridges from there since Tesco stopped selling them.
I've been ordering online but prefer local shops.
If I can buy electrical goods from Euronic ( Marshalls in Clay Cross) I will but Curry's is my next port of call  if not

It's a pain trying to get
 Shopping done before the parking time runs out isn't it.
I agree with you but think Curry's is suited to being down there mainly because of carrying items to the car.

I'm unsure how this will work out as well. Will the Posties be expected to work longer days?
I can't see them setting on extra staff to fit it in but agree so much is sent via email these days.
Stamps I reckon will go up yet again and I'm thinking they will be having to pay out an awful lot after what has been revealed recently.

Chesterfield Discussion / Ravenside

I've read a couple of statements from shops on the Ravenside saying they are re-opening in the next month.
There's been so many rumours about some of them moving into the town centre it needed clarifying from them.

I've been round our village and although there are some potholes there's nothing as bad as some I've seen.
I've been following the Langer lane saga. On Saturday i went that way to miss road works which were peppered along the route I needed to drive.
The work had been started  --- and left - leaving a long stretch of road with raised iron works. Cars were zigzagging to miss them. My other concern was that at night there apparently isn't much lighting in place terrible!
