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

No all Blue Badge spaces are free!

The new Bletchley pool is great for swimming but dull for kids, no flumes, slides etc.

I agree wen there for the first time the other week and will not be going back, it obviously was not focussed on families or children, all lanes and very boring, not even a baby pool

Hi All

Does anyone know of a good local mechanic in MK? to do things like small repairs, brakes, servicing etc?

Also need tyres changing, is there anywhere reasonable?

Cheers

Just seen a previous post.. Arden Motors!

If you're still after a garage, me and my whole family use Bleak Hall Motors. They're a great garage. Good prices, Good service, and very honest.

Can anyone confirm if the Bowl bootsale is on this Sunday 1st August? I know it says every sunday except when there is an event on at the bowl, but i cant figure out how to find if there is an event on or not.

I am about 45 mins drive away so I would appreciate the heads up before Sunday if possible. Also where should I head for parking on the day? I have heard that this is a big bootsale so hoping for good things.

Thanks

You should be OK, there was a concert last weekend, but not this weekend. I believe they move the boot fair to Stadium:MK when there is a concert (so I'm told).

Is anyone able to provide a recommendation? I now have the cleaner sorted so it is only the handyman I am after.

Thanks

The other week, I had a gentleman knock my door in the MK13 area asking if I wanted to sign up to a veg box delivery that was just starting out.

Unfortunately the guy didn't have any cards on him so I couldn't take the name of it... it was something like Rob's Veg box Delivery or something simple like that.

Did anyone else get called upon and can they remember what the name was?

Hi All

I need someone to do a design for a folder for me please (A4 cardboard folder with a flap for an insert, printed on all sides).

I've found a few places that will do the supply and printing for a reasonable price, but quotes for the artwork seem very excessive.

I have all the photos, blurb etc, but not a drop of artistic blood in my body, so need someone who can drive a computer to put it all togther for me and make it look good!

Any recommendations gratefully received.

Thank you
