    Or Hemel Hempstead
    Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.
  • I've been thinking about having my eyes zapped for a while now - has anyone any experience of the new Optimax in Milton Keynes?

    The Aldi store in Bletchley would never be big enough for Primark neither would there be adequate parking in that area. Could you imagine what hell it would cause?!

    I am looking for recommendations for a hairdresser who is excellent at doing up dos / hair ups at a reasonable price. I usually go to Hairlines but they don't have hair ups on their price list. I did find a couple of places but they wanted £25 - £35 which is a little bit out of my price range.

    Am happy to have a mobile hairdresser as long as they come recommended and have experience in doing up do's :)

    There is a computer shop near Timpson the shoe repairers in the city centre. I brough a new battery from my laptop from there which was good value. I would assume they do laptop repairs :)

    Does anyone use the Vets (Vetsavers) in Shenley Brook End? I'm thinking of switching to them as they are so close, are they any good? More concerned about standard of care, nice vets etc rather than price.
  • My daughter has decided she wants driving lessons for Christmas - I'd be really grateful for any recommendations!

    Hi Louisa, my son & daughter (now all grown up) learnt to drive with Mick Hodges of Independent School of Motoring Milton Keynes (01604 645427 or 07921078314

    Mick was great with them, he really relates to teenagers.

    That's spooky, he taught me too - 13 years ago now! He must have been good as I passed my test first time :D

    I think you've given the wrong phone number for him though, I recognised the name but knew he used to live in Crownhill so googled and found the website. The Northampton number is for someone from the same company. Mick's number is:

    Mick Hodges:
    tel: 01908 561417[FONT=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif]
    Residing at Crown Hill mob: 07921078314

    Also, a mini bump for my Q...
