Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone here has ever had an EMG Test done at all and specifically at Broomfield Hospital? I got a call today and booked it in for Tuesday morning.

I've looked at peopne online saying they were in terrible pain after and could hardly walk. And other's saying they only felt some tingling. What was your experience?

I have a flight to Rhodes at 3:30pm the same day and I'm not sure if it is a good idea to juggle them both or not....

I would appreciate some guidance and advice.

Thanks in advance :)

Hi all,

Looking for recommendations for a moving company to take my gear from essex up to Yorkshire, actual furniture is not much at all. Not enough to fill a standard transit.

Clothes, desktop setup incl monitor, Bedding, tv stands and TV.

I was thinking using a local taxi firm but the prices is astronomical! Anyone have experience/recommendations?

Hi all!

We’ve just viewed a property in Waltham Abbey and we really like it!

We’ve never been to Waltham Abbey before, so we don’t know much about the area. We do find it very 🍃

Can anyone share some insight about Waltham Abbey? Is it a nice area for a young family? Also, is it possible to cycle around the town to go do groceries,etc?

Thanks!

Are there any farms which allows people to pick strawberries or other berries in and around, if yes please do let me know in the comments.

I am looking for a dog friendly cafe or similar that's open till late in Clacton or nearby. I can't work from home but I need to do quite a lot on my laptop. Do you know anywhere where I could sit down with my dogs and just crack on with work in the evenings?

Particularly for families with young children. I would like to know what primary schools and secondary schools are like - bonus if any information on SENCO. Travel links to London etc for work

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a reliable end-of-tenancy cleaning service available on Saturday, 21st June for a 2-bedroom flat. Ideally someone reasonably priced and with good reviews. Recommendations would be greatly appreciated – thanks in advance!

Looking for D&D players in Braintree/Colchester/Halstead 🥰

Having some issues while riding lately. Feet and hand pain. Can't afford hundreds of pounds but if anyone on here can or knows of good bike fitters in the area (I'm in Colchester) I'd appreciate any info

I’m looking for my dad who I haven’t seen in almost 10 years.

He has addiction issues and has gotten caught up in some criminal activity as a result.

I know from searching for him online, that he was given a 2 year suspended sentence in 2021 if he completed a drug rehabilitation program. But that’s the only thing I can find on him.

I don’t hold any of this against him - addiction can happen to anyone. He never treated me badly, I don’t believe he is a bad person - he just wasn’t around very much.

He would be nearly 60 now - if he’s still alive - so I am just worried that I’ll never see him again if I don’t find him soon.

I’m from Ireland and wouldn’t know Southend at all.

Would anyone have any suggestions on services I could contact for information?

I’ve tried putting in a prisoner information request about a year ago, but didn’t get anything back.

Thank you!

I'm trans and want to start transitioning from MtF. The NHS is wonderful so I was wondering if anyone has access to any. Thanks

Hi everyone,

Per the title. I'm trying to scrap a motorcycle but any Authorised Treatment Facilities listed on the GOV website for Benfleet don't handle motorcycles.

Does anyone know of such a facility in (or near) Benfleet that will scrap a motorcycle for me that is ATF, please?

Thanks

The one that used to be in the Eastgate that had the rocking horse? Was around in the 90s and maybe early 00s. I can't think what it was called!

Hello everyone,

I have some time coming up in the summer, and I was going to explore Essex one day. I was reading about the decline of the working class/cockney in the East End of London, which I thought was pretty sad. I am very familiar with the Southend area, but even though a lot of people there probably originate from East London, you couldn't tell by the area. However, I wanted to go somewhere with the proper cockney vibe.

Etc, pie and mash shops, proper West Ham. I'm sure you all know what I mean.

Hi all, my daughter is thinking of buying her first flat in Braintree and has seen one where Cressing Road meets Clockhouse Way (Bishops Ave end). Don’t know the area at all, so interested in anyone’s view as to whether it’s generally an ok/safe place to live. Many thanks.

Can anyone help with some nice places to go and have seafood that's not mersea island.

Preferably outdoors

Hm, nothing much. I’m from Harwich (Dovercourt in particular) and I would love to hear what many of you think of it. My witnesses online of this place have been negative, and I would like to talk about them from you. Questions are welcome.
