It is called splash zone. It's not a swimming pool, it's like a wacky warehouse with water. We went the other week and the kids loved it, can get quite noisy though! here's the link - http://www.gulliversfun.co.uk/gullivers.php?parkname=Milton_Keynes&pagename=SplashZone_MiltonKeynes

Nat -do adults need to be wearing swim wear? I'd be taking a 7, 6 and 2 year old. How wet would I get if I needed to retrieve the little one!!

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

I used them when my dog decided to use a leather sofa as a nest - phantom pregnancy. It was a mess.

The cost was reasonable, the repair time was as quoted and the dog was speyed soon after

I would think you would get very wet, change of clothes for mum as well.

Hope you have a good time. :T

Anyone know where there is good sized car boot without too many traders?

Have loads of [STRIKE]carp[/STRIKE] , oops typo, much valued possessions to declutter.

Might need to go alone, is this do-able?

Does anyone know of a reliable cheapish gardener for around £10ph, i really need someone to keep my garden tamed for around 2 hours a week. All I can seem to find are landscape gardeners who charge the earth.

We're being given a motorized dinghy by a relative and I'd like to find out how I get permission to use it on the lakes in MK. I'm not really sure of the rules and regulations about using one, but I'm assuming I can't just go down to Caldecotte Lake and sail around the lake. Any advice?

Hi all,

I completed yesterday on my first ever house and have now realised how much I have to do!

Can anyone recommend a good handyman in the area? I am looking for someone to do odd jobs around the house, such as put up blinds/ curtains/ mirrors/ shelves/ picture hocks etc, I ‘m sure the list will grow longer as soon as I move in.

Fairly basic jobs I know, however I am hopeless at DIY. If anyone has a personal recommendation that would be much appreciated.

I am also on the look out for a good cleaner if anyone can recommend one.

Thanks
