The Milton Keynes Money Savers Thread

A question about : The Milton Keynes Money Savers Thread

With the opening of all our new shops (and other places!) here in MK, I thought it may be wise to start a thread on the 'local' board for those local to MK to post our findings here.
(I keep seeing various threads scattered about the place!)

There seems to be quite a few of us about, so I'm sure that we could pool our knowledge here

Best answers:

• A brilliant idea indiegirl - I'll keep my eyes and ears open !!
• Good idea - anyone know if Costco has opened yet ?
• Yep - it opened on the 7th November... there was a thread lurking on one of the other areas!
  It was ballistic for the first week, although I drove past on Thursday night as I went to Tescos... and there were spaces in the car park, so it's (hopefully) starting to calm down now..
  Asda opened at the weekend just gone, and Ikea's opening has been moved (I see) to the 27th December.
• How about an MK Moneysavers Xmas party? Anyone up for it?
• Good idea !
• Did you know that Poundland opened in Bletchley a couple of weeks ago?
  Also Instore opened in Bletchley High street last week.
• A colleague has just told me that Laura Ashley has a sale, she just came back from there and said it is on lighting and most furniture.
• I will hope it will not get as bad as the IKEA opening in Edmonton

• We could have a meatball party in Ikea!!
• What do meatballs have to do with Ikea??
  (never been to an Ikea before)
• Morning all.
  Well I thought I best make use of the local boards knowledge.
  I am looking for a painter and decorator to do the inside of my 4 bedroom house. Would any of you guys be able to recomend one to me?
  Many Thanks
  Me!
• I know of one who's a family friend.... but off the top of my head I can't think of his phone number... he's not in the Yellow Pages... goes on recommendation only... (really helpful, I know). All I know is that he's based in Haversham...
  I've texted my mum (it's her friend)... will PM you if I can get a number...
• Well, I went to Asda today and what can I say - it's big, brash, and I think I'll be sticking to Tescos!
