The Milton Keynes Money Savers Thread - Mark Four

Hi everyone

I wanted to watch the 3d magic show on channel 4 tonight but when I wen't to the main Sainsbury's up the centre they have given them all away (they were the sponsor handing the glasses out). Don't suppose anyone know's of any other Sainsburys within a short driving distance from here do they?

Cheers all

Game is probably your best bet at the moment, if you haven't already got one. They are doing the basic console for £149.99 but you can get 2 free games worth £29.99 each (either Rhythm Paradise or Pokemon and then a choice from 6 other games, including Brain Training), plus a free starter kit worth £6.99 (spare stylusses, screen protectors and game cases).

Thanks - that seems to be very good value (as much as these things ever are!).

I need to mount my 42" plasma on my living room wall, can anyone recommend somebody in the Milton Keynes area who would be able to do this? Looking for them to be able to mount the TV, hide the cabling around the room, and possibly install a new electric socket that would also be required, though I can always get this done by someone else.

Thanks.

I'm after Wii Fit. Is there a second hand games store in MK?

Gamestation is in the centre and sells second hand consoles, etc.

I need to find someone to (hopefully) repair my Triton power shower, which seems to be cutting out.

My last electrician hit the big time (Channel 4) so doesn't do small jobs now, so I'm looking for one who does. I've asked around at work and not had any suggestions. (I see on the other thread someone has suggested a plumber - do I need a plumber or electrician?)

The trouble is I know that many would suggest replacing, which I'm trying to avoid. How do I find someone suitable (in a hurry)? I've done a google search without much success.


Thanks for any suggestions.

Can anyone recommend a local architect? We're looking to extend our house rather than move as we think it will be cheaper and would prefer to use an architect that someone can recommend.

Thanks

Hi, I can recommend a guy from M.K. called Robin Bradbury on 07970 076249. He is not an architect but you don't actually need an architect to prepare drawings for building, he is qualified as he is a surveyor. He has a broader knowledge of building as he has done a fair bit of developing so has worked on the other side of the fence as it were. I just recomended him for a self build in Loughton which I worked on last year, I could get you a reference from there if you want.
If you want any more info ring me (Ian) on 07970 410183
