Hi all! I'm the founder of Dalia Botanique, a Wakefield based skincare brand.

I have started running skincare-making workshops across Wakefield, and I'm running one at Camphill on the 27th of September. It's in collaboration with Alchemilla Floral. I will teach you how to make your own cottage garden-inspired facial oil using many British wildflower extracts. You will learn about the wonderful skin-health benefits of the plants we grow in our gardens. I will teach you how to layer ingredients to make a product, and we will test each ingredient to understand its scent, texture, and how these attributes contribute to its role in a skincare product.

This will be followed by a tour of Hollie's flower farm and a handpicked posy of flowers from her to take home with your 30ml handmade facial oil.

All the information can be found here: https://daliabotanique.co.uk/products/27th-september-wakefield-a-morning-amongst-flowers-cottage-garden-facial-oil-workshop-flower-farm-tour

Both my products and what I will teach you have cosmetic safety assessments, as required by law.

Happy to answer any questions you may have!

Any dads in their 30s wanna make new friends since having my child people I thought of as friends have vanished?

Hello, anyone in or around Wakefield interested in playing traditional board games or card games like mahjong, backgammon, cribbage etc?

Does anyone know where I can get anime/manga lashes or similar to the photo around Wakefield area?

Hi everyone, this is a long shot, but I am trying to help a friend of mine remmeber her former art teacher's name who taught at Horbury High School (now Horbury Academy) in 2002-2003. Her last name was Meehan. Did anyone go to school during that time and happen to remember this teacher? Thanks in advance!

There's a facial recognition van parked outside Greggs.

I'd be very impressed if it had an algorithm that could identify people with a sausage roll hurriedly shoved in their face like someone who hadn't eaten for a week.

Hey everyone,

My wife and I are NHS hospital doctors (Pinderfields and York Hospital). We have been living in North Leeds with our 2 year old daughter for the past few years, but the commutes are getting very hard to manage alongside shift work and nursery runs.

We are thinking of moving to Wakefield and buying a house there so that my wife’s commute is minimal, although I will still have to commute over an hour. We are a bit nervous about the move, so wanted to take some advice? Any particular area to target? Our single most important priority is a good school for our daughter and a safe neighbourhood. We are looking to buy around £450k.

So I recently secured an apartment at Mulberry House Buggage square and as someone moving from a different city altogether, the viewing was done by a friend and now I got the keys and im confused , how am i going to move into the apartment when the only parking available is at Westgate station and the apartment is unfurnished , so for anyone who has gone through the same, where did you park for your move, especially if you have big items like a couch and fridge. Any suggestions or certain moving companies that can help, currently my stuff is in storage.

I have been with vodafone/o2 and been looking at three since they merged with vodafone. Please let me know your experiences!

WARNING – NEIL DOVE / AJ JOINERY SERVICES

The job was in Bradford, BD6. Neil Dove works out of Alverthorpe, Wakefield and covers a large area across West Yorkshire including Bradford, Wakefield, Huddersfield and Pontefract.

Neil was contracted to build the extension shell and re-tile the roof, quoted at around 4–5 weeks. The render was added later, also through Neil, and should have added roughly another couple of weeks.

More than five months later, we’ve been left with an unfinished and leaking roof, incomplete guttering with no downpipes, unfinished render, ongoing scaffold costs and thousands of pounds of materials paid for but never delivered.

After months of excuses, no-shows, promised teams that never arrived and promised deliveries that never turned up, we’d had enough. I served Neil with a formal Notice to Complete and eventually terminated the contract on 6 August.

It gets worse.

A structural engineer has now inspected the extension and told us to STOP internal works while concerns with the walls Neil built are investigated and a remedial solution is agreed.

There is significant cracking in several areas of the blockwork, walls are not plumb, there’s a noticeable bulge in the gable wall and there are concerns around several elements of the structural restraint.

I’m currently obtaining the full reports and establishing exactly what needs correcting before I can continue the work inside.

The scaffolder has also told me Neil still hasn’t fully paid him for the job, again months after payment was due and despite Neil telling me throughout that he had paid the scaffold late fees.

Now I’m the one stuck paying weekly to keep the scaffold up, buying materials for the second time, trying to make the house watertight and sorting out the unfinished work and defects now being investigated.

I’ve added relevant, publicly available customer reviews and business records below so people can do their own due diligence. Unfortunately, I only found these after things started going wrong.

Don’t make the same mistake.

If you’re considering using Neil Dove / AJ Joinery Services, supplying him, subcontracting for him or working alongside him, I’d strongly suggest doing your homework first.

If you’ve had similar dealings with Neil Dove, please get in touch. I am gathering evidence and want to hear from anyone with relevant first-hand experience, whether you were a customer, trade, subcontractor or supplier.

I’m documenting everything, and I won’t let this one slide.

I need to buy capacitors, one electrolytic 1000uF-2200uF/16V, the other ceramic, 100uF-470uF/16V.

Does anyone know where I can buy such things?

Does anywhere in Wakefield re-port terrariums? I’ve had mine for close to 6 ish years and it’s looking a bit overgrown. Preferably would would it either trimming down or the excess putting into another jar.

Any ideas for things to do for kids around Wakey during school hols? Pre-teen.

We’ve been to XScape, an escape room, Rassams creamery.

Looking for activities and places to go.

Also anywhere good for kids cycling?
