The Milton Keynes Money Savers Thread - Mark Four

Rhyburgh

Coming up at the weekend and looked at the shopping map and found you now have Hollister and Superdry. Anyone tell me if these are big shops and are they full of impossibly small sizes - can't quite squeeze into those XS they only seem to stock.

If you're going to Hollister then bring a torch! It's too dark in there to see what you're buying! From the outside it looks like a night club.

Can anyone recommend a landscape gardener, perhaps someone that they've used. My garden is nothing short of a meadow and needs completely ripping apart and starting again... and despite my MSE feelings to try and do it myself, I think it's time to get the professionals in....

Hurray!! Atlast poundland gona open their new branch at thecentre, Silbury arcade, Milton Keynes. :T
Hopefully it would be anytime this month ( June 2010) :j
Not to forget that theres already a Poundland store in Milton Keynes, but in Bletchley which is bit far away from the centre which is not easily accessible for people staying in central milton keynes!!

So this one is surely a boon for some people!!

Hello - we got the same flyer 3 months ago and checked out The Society Of Will Writers to find them. They are not a member of any professional body. The rented office is in Stony but the owner was living in Westcroft until last month when the bank repossessed his large house. My mate knows him and told me to avoid him like the plague. They are not listed as a limited company, partnership, sole trader or as any entity. Any issues with something as important as a Will and you'd have no guarantees.

Do a Google search for "The Will Writing Company Stony Stratford" and you'll see where they had promoted "free wills" on local flyers to many areas of MK. There is the Furzton Flyer, the Shenley Flyer, etc. Also, on page 1 of Google it shows a 5 year old FSA entry and the business owners name is under "contact".

To offer "free" unconditional wills and then only deliver when you pay them £200 for storage is possibly an issue for Trading Standards. And are the Wills stored in a bank with evidence of such or in someone's loft as I'd heard.

Hi Indie Girl

I've used MK Landscapes in Castlethorpe many times and they've always done a great job, hope this helps

Give Ian Saunders a call 07970 410183 - he can provide references from around MK and is fully insured ...

Hi,

I have a 2 year old sofa leather sofa and one side has collapsed. I'm guessing it just needs the internal woodwork reinforced.

Tesco Direct are being less than helpful. They're sending me a form to fill in, but in the meantime we've got nothing to sit on.

Can anyone recommend a good local repairer urgently.

Thank you
