hiya!
its in between tescos and Nandos.......on the next block from the closed down garage.....opposite that big studenty pub......
if you come by tram, you need the 'tesco' stop on west street - its next door to tescos, opposite that big studenty pub. think its the 2nd tram stop on west st (first one is at the bottom of west st by the 80s pub), then it goes all the way up ....... its a busy tram stop so you should have chance to dive off if you stand near the front doors!!
bus - get either 52's, or a 60, 120, and ask them for the...erm...its either the 2nd or 3rd stop on west street - again, tesco's.....should get you there ok!
when i go up, i shall draw a map using the pubs....you cant go wrong following directions by pub!!

Im driving from Meadowhall or maybe thats a bad idea i dont know.Im not a drinker unfamiliar with downtown though. Perhaps it would be best to get a tram.Do you know if theres one from Meadowhall? Cheers. Getting an A to Z just in case.
After getting the med. request and booking the x.ray /meds for next week didnt sleep much sleep last night. They're asking for final pay receipts for last 3 employers over the last 18 months including leaving dates,accumulated wages etc.In a panic now as i've submitted pay stubs already,i thought these would suffice. Just going mad now thinking they'll deny me at the last hurdle. Contacted Inland Revenue for breakdown of employers,leaving/start dates.Just hope this will do. Wondering if anyone else was asked for this info?Anyone?

yep, get a tram from meadowhell....there are several routes from meadowhell, get either the malin bridge tram or middlewood tram, and ask for the 2nd stop on west street, the stop at tescos. tram conductors are usually slightly more helpful than the buses, so you should be ok.
(the other trams - cathedral, herdings park and halfway would mean you would have to get off in town and wait for a malin bridge/middlewood tram, so you may as well wait for the ones i mentioned at meadowhall.)
just had a thought - the first tram stop on west st is called 'city hall', just to confuse you its the one after you want . the trams run til late, so if you leave your car in meadowhall, you will be able to get a tram back, at 11 - 11.30ish. shall look at the timetable later for you.

hi andrew, not sure about any agents in or around sheffield, i'm using gomatilda, excellent so far. i've been asked for the last 4-6 pay slips and my p60 which i cant give because i lost it!

take sues advice and leave your car at meadowhell, everyone knows west street and even if you miss a stop, it'll only be a five minute walk back.

good luck

debbie x

Hi Andrew I am sure there arent any in sheffield, we used OE Visas based in Manchester/Edinburgh just make sure the agent is MARA registered.

Hi Debbie. Are you STNI? Cant remember. I've heard of go matilda and will contact them. I wonder if dimia knows that by the time we get there we'll all be nervous wrecks! My previous employers are not nice people and hope they're not contacted, anyways we have no control so why worry eh. Will do the tram now,good idea, thx both for the info.Just got to ask work tmrw to leave early that day.

Hello Sue?? are you coming to the meet also?

Partner is self employed but had to submit all account records though, so I suppose answer is yes we did. I think it is to prove you have been doing your job for the last 18 months. Sorry what is your skill??

The only way round it is to contact your previous employers for the info. Dont think an agent will be able to help there.

Yep Tasmania. No, no luck with the house
