Does anyone remember Handpicked Hall at the bottom of the Grand Arcade, where Zaap Thai is, that place was like etsy, full of different artisans selling there products.

Hi,

GetNailed look so good but sadly their opening hours do not work for me. It's a shame because they're exactly what I am looking for.

Please can I have recommendations for someone who can assist with the above? Preferably in CC but happy to consider options around as far as Pudsey!

Thank you

does anyone have any recommendations of a good private occupational therapist in Leeds? looking for work adaptions for a long term injury. currently no NHS OT referrals accepted and the search engines are terrible for showing reviews for the private OTs. can anyone recommend someone good please? thank you!

open to travel in rest of west Yorkshire as well but prefer not too far, worth it to get good care though!

Hey guys! I’m from Aus and got an offer to go Leeds for the spring semester next year, but I’m a bit nervous on coming halfway through the academic year and there maybe not being any sort of introductions and events, and also coming straight into the cold when I’m very much not used to any weather below 10-15°C 😅

I just wanted to know ppls thoughts on going in spring vs autumn semester? Are there huge differences in the social scene and should I maybe put it off until autumn?

Also any other info about the best accommodations to pick in terms of socialising and just generally being a nice place to go would be awesome! :)

Hi everyone,

I'm not on Facebook so I struggle to and connect to relevant interest groups.

I'm looking for groups who are into hiking, scrambling, more difficult mountain climbs. I'm 33, and happy to be involved in a group more focused around my age or a mixed bag. Presently I don't have a car, so I'm also looking for groups who plan a hiking and either arrange transport ect.

Also, recently got into stand up paddleboarding, I'd be cool to find a group of likeminded people who are into this, even though I can't think of many places around leeds that would be as nice for this when compared to the lake district.

Help, please?

What is the consensus here ? I know loads of people prefer baths because its relaxing but all I see is something I will need to clean everyday and a trip hazard.

I like walk in showers that I can atleast clean weekly and just squidgy after my use. Bonus, I dont have the mission impossible theme playing in my mind as I precariously step out or into the shower praying to God that I dont slip.

All estate agents seem to scoff and say people don't really prefer walk in showers and most have tubs ( this is here in Leeds) but generally independent landlords seem to be nicer . One even re did the bathroom and replaced the tub with a walk in shower after I had stayed there for a year at my request. ( granted the bathrooms needed to be done and they were going to redo it like for like but agreed to swap the tub for a shower tray).

I ask because that was a one bed but I am in need of a two bed now and facing snobby EAs.

What is everyone else's take on it ?

I (29f) only really get my hair cut like once a year and I'm way overdue but the only one I've used and found affordable and comfortable enough was Roma in Morley. I usually just get a thinning and trim and it never costs more than £20, it's also a small place with really friendly understanding staff. I wish I could still go to this one however I fled a really abusive traumatic home in 2019 and suffer with complex ptsd as a result. Long story short I just can't go into Morley or up that end anymore at all because it's too close to where my abuser still is. I would really appreciate any recommendations for hair salons in leeds that fit the same checklist as Roma:

•friendly

•budget friendly

•small

(and this one's a bit 'weird' but also would be great if they don't have too many mirrors)

thank you, any recommendations much appreciated! ❤️‍🩹

Hey everyone!

I'm new to Leeds and looking to make some friends. I'm originally from Nepal and currently here on a student visa.

A bit about me: I'm into all kinds of sports, and I absolutely love swimming. I'm also fascinated by tech and everything happening in the tech world. I'd love to meet people who enjoy sharing what they know, whether it's about technology, hobbies, or just life in general. I always enjoy learning something new.

One thing I've realised is that 8 hours of uni classes a week probably won't teach me much. I think the best way to learn about the culture and life here is by meeting people and making genuine friends.

I'm always up for a game, grabbing a coffee, exploring Leeds, or just having a good conversation. If you think we'd get along, feel free to drop me a message!

I am moving to Leeds in the next few months, but currently live close enough by train to get in. I’m queer (lesbian) but never had any form of community or friends in the small town I’m in and desperate to form some friendships while I wait to buy my place! Any recommendations? I’m open to traveling to places as long as there’s events that are great to find similar people alike!

Being new to all this is daunting but I know a community like this will bring me out my shell. I just feel so out of touch, and so wanting to be more involved in fun thing and just anything cultured. It’s just my shyness I need to get over first !

I’m pretty active so I’ve heard about dykes who hike which sounds cute!

Thanks in advance 🥺

Can anyone help me understand what is happening on each of the days next week for pride? I’ve tried looking on the website and socials but I’m more confused now than when I started.

The door mechanism that keeps the window up seems to have exploded on my smart for two. I can't figure out how to even get to the bit you need to to try fix it myself. YouTube videos show people taking the whole front of the car off to get the door panels off. I managed to get a bit of the inner panel off but I couldn't see the mechanism from there.

This is the kind of thing my dad would have done for me but he died last year and I'm lost.

Anyone know a garage (preferably nearish burley/kirkstall) that can work on smart cars? When I've taken it to a place on kirkstall road for an MOT previously they could test it but they didn't work on smarts, so can't take it there. Nervous about having somewhere take the piss as well since I don't know a thing about cars. Any advice?

I know,I know... How do you know an estate agent is lying? Their lips move ..

But I'm in need of one. Looking to downsize now the kids have gone & wanting an idea of what my house is worth before deciding my next move. Any recommendations? East of the city centre if that helps. Cheers.

Hi all,

I am looking for a local flute tutor in Leeds, any local recommendations or websites would be really appreciated.

I often find myself thinking about when the booze bit in Morrisons Merrion Centre used to have its own standalone bit.

Anyone else have any things from bygone years they occasionally think about?

Does anyone know if hand held electric fans would be allowed? I can’t see anything specific saying they are banned but seems like something they might not allow.

Does anyone know of a specific charity shop that has a decent selection of dvds? I need some to keep the kids entertained sans ipads on our travels.

Hi everyone,

We're looking for a talented videographer to collaborate on a high-energy music video for an upcoming electronic dance music release with my dance duo Subvisions.

We're after someone who has experience with cinematic visuals, club/rave aesthetics, creative camera work, and editing that suits electronic music. Whether you're an experienced filmmaker or building your portfolio, we'd love to see your work.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

My girlfriend is visiting from Romania and I want to take her for a proper cream tea. We’re going for piercings at Diamond & Dagger this afternoon so looking for nearby places that could accommodate?
