    and a slightly more odd request for info from me today, I got some xmas money from my dad, and am thinking of getting a tattoo with it, I don't know of any places to get it done in mk, anyone got any reccomendations??!

    festive thoughts and mk bargains to you all. just off to look in b&q to see if the xmas decs are reduced as I want more naff lights!!

    I can thoroughly recommend Next Generation in Stony Stratford for a tattoo. It's run by a husband and wife team, very friendly and approachable, and spotlessly clean.

    Ooh thanks for posting this, I shall be keeping an eye on recommendations too.

    I know that my sister wouldn't use any in MK, and ended up using the tattoo/piercing place just off Gold St in Northampton, but her tattooist has gone back to Canada now, so she won't recommend that place any more either.

    I will also recommend Next Generation in Stony. They were so busy when I had mine done you had to queue up on a Saturday morning for 45 minutes before the shop opened:eek: just to get a Saturday appointment (done on a first come first served basis). If you want a weekday appointment you can just book that.

    They designed my tattoo with me and when the first design wasn't what I wanted they re did it and it was perfect. They were very friendly and professional. I also had my navel pierced by them (twice!) and would recommend them for that.

    They have all the certificates etc from the council you need.

    We bought a High Gain Arial from Argos for about £40 and put it in our loft!

    My husband installed it whilst I shouted up,whether we had a signal or not! Until it was good.

    An Arial installer will chage approx £150 (So I'm told).

    Sorry I can't be of more help!
