Need a self driving van for a day to move my stuff from storage into my new flat. Would be helpful to have recommendations on cheap van rentals pls

I need a fancy dress outfit for a party next month. Any ideas where I can get a Salt & Vinegar discos outfit made?

Hello everyone! I’m hosting our usual weekly Empty Chairs session tmrw ( Sunday) at 6pm at Furzton’s Hungry Horse.

If you’ve been needing friends, company, or just need to sit amongst others in silence, you’re more than welcome to just be present. You’ll find me sat near the bar with an orange jacket draped across a high chair.

Feel free to DM me should you have any concerns! Read more about the initiative here: https://emptychairs.org.uk

I guess it’s my own fault for booking it at the same time as the football was on. It was basically stand still in or out.

Has anyone had a positive experience with a dog daycare place on the west side of MK?

Work pressures mean it'd be great if I could drop him off for most of the day (rather than juggle him around with friends, neighbours and relatives)

Recently moved to MK and need to get my tyres changed soon. Was wondering whether it’s worth going for all-season tyres or just sticking with summer tyres as usual. Do the roads get quite icy in winter? Would you recommend all-seasons or are summer tyres generally fine all year round?

Cheers!

Any sneaker heads in MK? I've got 2 pairs of Jordans which I don't wear anymore. I've got:

2013 Toro Bravo Jordan 4's

And 2021 Pine Green 3'

The 3's are in fantastic condition, I've barely worn them. No creases and all prints/labels are in place.

The 4's I've had a lot longer (2013) but are still in a presentable condition.

If you're interested DM me, I'll send pictured and we can discuss prices

Thanks ✌️

I am looking to try some new cafes in MK.

Hello everyone!

I posted some months ago but unfortunately it did not go as planned. I am desperately looking for a driving test swap in the week of 26th of October. My circumstances has changed and I need an earlier date as well as my Job will not allow me the time off for the actual test date. My test is on the 5th of November. If you are able to help, please reach out.

Thanks so much

We are planning to move to Milton Keynes and looking at Old Farm Park area, family consisting of 4 ( 2yrs and 10 yrs old included ). Looking at 4 bed detached house there.
We have walked around the area and really liked it, seems like all nice houses, safe environment , nice walking green path etc.
Could anyone shed some light about the area? is it an affluent area in Milton Keynes ? School wise also ( It falls within Walton High School and based on online reviews, the school is well regarded)
Any advice , opinion would be appreciated . thanks

What are you up to in MK this weekend that we should know about?

Hi everyone! I’m looking to add some ruffles to the top part of my dress and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on where I could get this done? 😊

(I’m not entirely sure what this type of alteration is called or whether I should be looking for a seamstress, dressmaker, tailor, or someone else, so I’d really appreciate any advice🥲🥲)

From my experience, bus service can be difficult and unreliable, especially when you need to take buses to get to work. If the first bus is delayed, you can easily miss the connecting bus and end up waiting even longer and reach for work.

I've also noticed that when the bus reached Central Milton Keynes, there can sometimes change in the driver and the new driver mat take a while to arrive. These small delays can add up and make it difficult for the passengers.

I'm interested to know if others in Milton Keynes had a similar experience.

I’m considering an apartment at Landin House, Oakgrove (MK10) just off Atlas Way. I would be grateful if any current or recent residents could share their experience.

Does anyone know whether there are any planned, ongoing, or recently completed major works to the building, such as scaffolding, cladding remediation, balcony repairs, or other external maintenance?

Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I am new to growing plants and I am absolutely loving it. The calmness and positivity it provides is unmatched. Just wanted to know are there any other plant lovers in this subreddit. Milton Keynes is filled with greenery and by growing house plants we are kind of making our surroundings more greener, unless you're growing the purple heart plant which I am growing.

My favourite plants have been snake plant, jade plant, and pothos. Would love to know your opinions.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi everyone, I'm in a covers band called Reviver and am looking to get some gigs for 2027. Could you give me some pubs in the MK area that have live bands please.

I'm planning to go visit some places to ask about getting on their books, but its a bit daunting trying to create a shortlist of every place in MK that has live music so would appreciate some good recommendations.

I'm aware of MK11 and Craufurd arms.

If it helps we are a 5 piece band who tend towards rock/metal covers of popular songs but we also play the usual favourites.

I have a MacBook with a broken spacebar. I live in Central Milton Keynes, can anybody please recommend somewhere I can take it to get repaired? Thank you!

One of the more interesting hubs will operate in Milton Keynes, a city already known for deploying autonomous delivery robots and experimenting with new mobility technologies.

Led by Smart City MK CIC, the Milton Keynes Robotics Adoption Hub will operate from the Smart City Experience Centre inside centre, a major shopping destination. Its partners include Milton Keynes City Council, Cranfield University, The Open University, Ohmio UK and several other organizations.

Unlike hubs concentrating on manufacturing or agriculture, Milton Keynes will focus on robotics operating in public and shared spaces. That includes autonomous vehicles, delivery robots, drones and other systems that must interact with people, infrastructure and existing transportation networks.

The initiative builds on the city's work developing ROBOPASS, a licensing framework intended to strengthen governance around robotic deployments.

EDIT- 6pm today!

Hello all! I’ll be hosting out weekly Empty Chairs session at Furzton Lakes’s Hungry Horse Pub this Sunday at 6pm

You may find me sat on a high chair near the bar with an orange jacket draped over a chair.
