As per thread title , I'm kinda lost since the Asian store closed on Tullow Street. Tesco has a small selection but the prices are insane e.g €3.80 for 10 curry leaves , in the Asian store I could buy half a shopping bag of them for €2:80. Is there anywhere else in Carlow town that I could check?

Sounds a bit strange but check the African or Polish shops. I know herbal tea in the Polish shops are about 80cent a pack - rather than the 2.50 in Tescos.

I've used Nolan Heat Services (I'm 99% sure his name is Michael) for our Stanley since we got it 6 years ago. He does all the boilers in the Aga group as well as Firebird etc.

He's the most local guy that I know of (lives in Old Leighlin). Tel no. is 087 - 2723618.

There are normally a few of them advertised in the Nationalist every week in the Dolmen Hotel / Seven Oaks.. If not let me know, I'll ask if there are anymore planned shortly.

Hi Guys

Anybody know of any dog grooming courses for beginners in carlow or surrounding counties? Don't want to pay a fortune for the course either.

I for some reason seemed to think that they ran a course in the VEC in town last September but when I looked at the latest curriculum list I don't see it on it.

regards
Tommy

you were right they did used to run a dog grooming course in the vec. have you checked the vecs of neighbouring counties, or maybe ring the vec and ask if the intend on running it again?

alternatively maybe vets that offer dog grooming might know of courses?? not sure but i guess it's worth a try.

Thanks Nead

I hadn't thought of the neighboring VEC courses will check them later this evening at home.

Might give one or 2 of the vetrinary clinics with grooming facilities a bell aswell, thanks for the tips.

Tommy

Anyone know of someone available for garden tidy up in the next few days? Just outside rathvilly.
Will be working on it myself but an extra pair of hands always helps.

Hi Guys

I have updated post 1 on this thread to reflect that any jobs vacant can now also be advertised here and that it is being stickied once again following discussions with co-mods and category mods.

Hi all,

Anyone know of any part-time jobs going around the town? I've tried EVERYWHERE and still got nothing. I can do any kind of work, retail, cleaning, childminding, etc.

I am studying Early Childhood Education & Care so weekend childminding, or babysitting in the evenings would be the ideal job for me, but like i said I'm willing to consider any kind of work!

Thanks in advance
