    Re theatre tickets. I have a theatre card. It has paid for itself just in one visit. Its £30 for the year. They have offers which are stated in the brochure for particular night plus early booking.
    If its just a one off you need then pm me and see if I can help.

    New B&M Store opened on Westcroft. Noticed it yesterday.
    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.

    Hi, Can anyone recommend a good garage to have a cambelt / water pump change done at (Grand Scenic), preferably Bedford way?

    Equally, places to avoid!

    Thankyou

    Arden Park in Wolverton are really good and have lots of recommendations on this thread.

    But they are not Bedford way!

    I was recently let down badly by Zigzag - so much so that I will no longer have my hair done there.

    Both myself and my DD (19) have since visited Lifestyle Hairdressing in Newport Pagnell and wish we had discovered it sooner.
    They were far more professional. The initial consultation was really useful. The quality of cut and finish was excellent and the coffee was much better than my previous salon.

    To top it off they have a range of loyalty offers so each time I get my hair done I get a free gift.

    And they have an offer where if you are introduced by a current customer both of you get a half price cut and finish.

    I will definitely stay with Lifestyle and not go back to Zigzag again despite them being more convenient.

    If anyone wants to give Lifestyle a try please say I introduced you (PM me for my details).

    I'm not posting this for the referral, but to praise Lifestyle and shame Zigzag - but a half price hair do is always welcome :)

    PS - any first time customer qualifies for a 50% discount on their cut and finish so you don't need a referral from me, although it would be appreciated.
