Tesco is moving into the M&S shop in the town centre.
My thoughts - they will need a high footfall to keep overheads going!
We only shop every two/three weeks so need a car park close by as it's generally a large shop.
We certainly couldn't manage  a big shop where they are plonking themselves.

I heard about the peper report...dont really know what to think, I am currently fundraising for the sponsored walk for Ashgate in March...


Well done! My youngest brother passed away in the Hospice and my other brother and his family did the sparkle walk for two years to help the Hospice.

I understand exactly what you mean.
I asked them if I sponsored the name a Star would the Hospice get all of the sponsor money. The answer - they will get some of it-
It's wrong the Board members need to cough up with a good donation or claim less

I've seen the map and Derbyshire should be ashamed.
Strangely enough hubby and i have been out and covered half of the streets in our village today checking for Pot holes as we know the cold weather makes them worse.
Lets just say I have a busy day tomorrow sending them through!! Plus still the rest of the village to cover! :(

If it's the one with a 'Cinema' in it I know which you mean - it's for the rich as I can't see social care footing much towards it!

I'm watching the meteorologists reports.
It's looking likely at the lowest end we have a cold spell on the way but this could evolve to snow.
Nothing is set in stone as yet and it's always iffy but they are all singing from the same sheet at the moment.
I've noticed some local Derbyshire papers have jumped onto this but I don't generally take much notice of the newspapers.

Well the snow didn't hang about thank goodness, obviously I think we can expect some more over the next few weeks.

No problem at Heathrow Sunday daughter got away o.k.

Just received a leaflet through the post advertising residential care at a new facility not a million miles away from Chesterfield.

I looked up their "prices" to become a resident and eye watering doesn't even begin to cover it.
I often visit a friend, and his wife, who are residents in another care home and, not surprisingly, it's not cheap, but it's chicken feed compared to what the new facility is asking.

I'm not going to mention the place or the prices, just to say you WOULD need a lottery win to even consider living there.
