catmag 336 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 ..somewhere that does picture mounting and framing at a reasonable cost? My friend has painted a piece of artwork of the bairn and I and I'd like it to be properly framed but I can't afford a fortune. Preferably not too far from Washington but the centre of Newcastle would be okay too. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 31 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I've used the place in the metro centre. Downstairs in yellow bit near the music shop. Honestly can't recall if I thought it pricey or not but they done a good job and had a good selection of wood colours and designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4002 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 My ex neighbour used to own Boldon picture framing which has a factory (open to the public) in boldon (Cotswold lane next to Asda). They also have a store at the inshops at the galleries. Not sure of the prices now, but they used to be very good. http://www.boldonframing.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catmag 336 Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 I feel a bit like CT as I'm full of stupid questions at the moment but does anyone use memory foam or orthopaedic pillows? I get horrible neck and back pain and I'm sure my pillows aren't helping. I feel like all the muscles in my back are pulled and it lasts til at least lunchtime. Any suggestions or recommendations?

Christmas Tree 4002 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Memory foam is shite IMO. If you're bed is worn, a good fix is to buy a cheap duvet and use it as a luxury matress topper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophyshy 6441 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) I feel a bit like CT as I'm full of stupid questions at the moment but does anyone use memory foam or orthopaedic pillows? I get horrible neck and back pain and I'm sure my pillows aren't helping. I feel like all the muscles in my back are pulled and it lasts til at least lunchtime. Any suggestions or recommendations?If you've read the bad back thread this advice might have added weight. I bought a Tempur curved pillow ten years ago and I can't really sleep without it now, expensive but well worth the money paid and it is still going strong. Supports your head and keeps your spine reasonably straight while you sleep. I wouldn't piss about with the cheap copies either, none of them seem as good.

McFaul 35 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Anyone that's got a bike, found the best repair place ever. It's a charity, inbetween Byker Metro bridge, and the National Rail bridge. It's hard to find but fuck me what a deal I got. Brand new wheel, inner tube, spokes etc...£60+ anywhere like Hardisty Cycles or that one on Scotchy Road, but this was for a full wheel, 3 quid. THREE. Couldn't believe it. I'll never go anywhere else. Kid fitted it for free too. www.recyke-y-bike.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
