They do indeed - in fact Bodleys have just supplied and fitted a shed in my parents' garden - Dad is over the moon with his 'man haven'!!!

Does anyone know if there is any firework excitement on Saturday night in the lovely MK? I know there is the Campbell Park one on Sunday but we were hoping there was one on Saturday.

I popped over to Stacey Bushes today, to The Warehouse MK in Heathfield...

<snip>

Price-wise and service-wise - so far, very very good. I will report back once the fitting has taken place at the end of the month.

I said I'd report back!

Flooring went down this morning - I got a call about an hour before the fitter arrived to let me know when he'd be on his way.

Flooring is a branded name so is good quality; although I haven't managed to find anything of a similar price including fitting.

Fitter was friendly and got on with the job; no faffing. I'm pleased with the finish although he hadn't any silicone to seal the edges so I've got that job to do; I could've demanded it be done if necessary (not worth the hassle!)

All in all very pleased. Also pleased to hear about the problems and The Warehouse's resolution with my mother's flooring: They rang her last week to say that there'd been a problem with the supply of the flooring she'd picked; and invited her to go back and pick a new style of flooring to replace it (this was 2 days before it was due to be fitted).

Typically, mum's second choice was more expensive than her first; although The Warehouse have waived the additional fee and will pick the cost up.

First rate service and I hope that my experiences will lead you guys to consider using them as well.

Thanks for that, I have got some free ride tokens from black thunder Jim Horizon radio. They carn't be used on half price night though.

are there rides for little ones to go on, and what time does it open?

Cylindus

Yes my 3 children are all 5yrs and under, they had a fab time. It opens at 2pm and its nice and quiet at that time. The kids rides are £1.50, the big ones were £2 but I was too chicken to go on any!!

Looking for some ideas for the family for New Year's Eve in MK. Myself, OH, daughter (14) and son (12).

They're a bit too old to just send to bed but too young to head for the pub!

Any suggestions gratefully received!
