Question Cat sitter or cattery?

1 Upvotes

im doing some research for my kitten, she'll be 7 months when we need this care for her. so would you recommend a cat sitter or a cattery?

im going to be at work, my family is away and im on 12 hour shifts. It'll only be for around 3 days I think.

We dont really know our neighbours well enough to ask them and we dont really have any other friends or family.

What would you suggest

Question Trustworthy Garage

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone I have got a volvo xc60 2014, the head gasket needs fixing. However I'm unable to find a garage that would be willing to do it, as it's a bigger job.

Keep calling garages in donny only to be told that its a big job taking too much time, therefore its something that they do.

Does anyone know a garage that fixes this issue?

Question Looking for witnesses for our civil wedding

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
This is a bit of an unusual request, but I’m hoping someone here might be able to help.
My partner and I are getting married in a civil ceremony at the Doncaster Register Office on 29th July at 10:30 a.m., and we’re looking for two witnesses.

The reason we’re asking here is simply that we’re keeping the wedding very private for now, so we’d rather not ask family or friends who know us both.
Being a witness is simply a case of being present at the ceremony and signing the register. As far as I’m aware, there are no legal obligations or responsibilities attached to being a witness beyond confirming that you witnessed the marriage.

If you happen to be available that morning and would be happy to help us out, we’d be incredibly grateful. Please feel free to send me a DM if you’re interested or if you have any questions.
Thank you so much!

Notice Doncaster buses

12 Upvotes

I've just moved over from leeds. Why are the buses so bad and hard to navigate. Theyre infrequent and the bus stops are terrible. Theres no time screens, no timetables and without my phoen there's no way to navigate the bus network at all!

I hope it's okay to post this here 🙃

I run a monthly meetup for people who find socialising in typical settings difficult and, as a result, struggle to make friends and feel rather isolated and lonely.

If that sounds like you, you're very welcome to join us! There's no pressure or expectations - just a friendly, relaxed group of wonderfully weird people getting together for a chat and some company.

Here's the link to the event:

Question Christmas Dinner Recommendations

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know where's good for Christmas dinner in Doncaster? Ideally not too expensive (under £100pp).

I'm the only one with a house big enough to host in mine and my husband's family, and while I love hosting and cooking, I've got two young kids now and I'm sick of spending the day in the kitchen instead of with them. We tried having everyone prep and bring food the other year when I was heavily pregnant but getting it all reheated wasn't that much of an improvement, so we've decided to try going out for dinner instead. There's probably going to be 9 adults and 6 kids so need somewhere with decent space too (no tiny pubs).​
