    I'm thinking of changing gyms (currently with Virginactive in Xscape) as the fees are going up and the classes are so busy. Has anyone tried the new Bletchley Leisure Centre (Beaumont Leisure)? If so, how much is it please?

    Any other recommendations welcomed - I'm a body pump addict (when fit!) so looking for that as much as a decent gym.

    Thanks

    I go to 'Courtside' on the Bletchley college campus.

    It's quite small and hasn't got as many facilities as the bigger places like Virgin, David Lloyd etc, but it's the cheapest I've found. :)

    I used to go to Harpers (It must have a new name now I guess?) at Bletchley Leisure Centre 4/5 years ago, but there were far too many meat heads for my liking!

    P.s. Gaz, is that your mini in your avatar? I used to have one, loved it to bits!

    Wow, never thought there was so much to it. Its not just a car wash I want, but I cant afford £600 either. :D I was looking in the £50-£80 range to be fair.

    Thanks

    Depending on the cost of your car, I would definitely recommend spending as much money as you can - it will add £££ to the value of the car.

    I had my old car 'detailed' a few years ago, I think the results speak for themselves!

    hello MK'ers :)

    im a regualr shopper at MK but my husband has recently been awarded a blue badge - does anyone know if you need to pay for blue badge spaces or if they are free ?
    have never noticed on the parking machines before - not something you tend to remember if it doesnt apply

    many thanks :)

    hi suggs thats all i could find before i posted the question on here tbh - i dont think it makes it clear whether the spaces are free - it just says where you CANT park??

    i did try to google it before asking honest guv - lol :)
