A plaque will be installed at the OU campus to celebrate Beagle 2 - the 1st British & European spacecraft to land on another planet.
The Beagle 2 project was spearheaded by the late Prof Colin Pilinger who worked at the OU for many years. 🚀

Hey @sainsburys doing my shop via the app and confused as to why some of my shop is more expensive with nectar prices?!

Hey @Vitality_UK spent all day looking at this screen so unable to attempt the futile task of looking for Stanley or redeem my coffee. Incredibly frustrating.

@sainsburys since when have your drivers not been in uniform and just turn up in joggers?

@spiescomedy hi I signed up for pre sale tickets but haven’t received an email - can you help??

It's #NationalEngineeringDay - a day dedicated to making the UK’s engineers and the world of engineering more visible, and recognise how they’re shaping our future.

What better way to start - hear from Dr. Hayaatun Sillem CBE FIET, CEO of @RAEngNews and an OU Honorary Graduate!

Hi @THORPEPARK is there an issue booking tickets online? Trying to book for Thursday and the screen just goes grey when I press ‘book now’.

I’ve seen it sooo many times, know the script pretty much word for word but #DirtyDancing never fails to make me smile. It will always be one of my favourite films. 🍿

@McDonaldsUK hi my entire order history, 1000’s of points and surprise fries progress has been wiped from my account on the app. Everything is at zero. Help please!

Lady G had a great time helping Lizzie on the checkout in @Morrisons this morning. She was pleased I dragged her out to help with shopping in the end.

Always need to share this on #LoveMK day!

[DestinationMK🎈 @DestinationMK]

This hour, how about winning a meal for two at Marco's New York Italian which is open to the public @HI_MiltonKeynes 😋 Who would you take?

Just use #LoveMK before 7pm tonight, to be in with a chance - you can also enter via Facebook and Instagram.

Whether it’s toast or tuna sandwiches, post surgery food always tastes amazing! Thanks to all the staff in the Ash Tree Suite @MKHospital for looking after me yesterday.

The boy turns 13 tomorrow. He’s not a fan of cake so I decided to try and make his favourite dessert instead - strawberry tiramisu. we only seem to be able to find in France. Hope it tastes ok.

@icey_mark @LouiseHartje1 No no no… we waited months for Ben’s renewal last year and got it 48hrs before we flew. So stressful. Spent hours trying to speak to passport office, very nearly cancelled flights.

@sarajcox Treated my mum to a day in London for Mother’s Day, stopped in Harrods to get her some flowers and bumped into Ainsley Harriot who wished her a happy Mother’s Day. Made her day.

@GiveBloodNHS Just before I turned 17 my Grandad was in intensive care needing a blood transfusion. He was the same blood group as me and I wanted to give something back so I have been donating ever since. Donation 46 in a few weeks time. #giveblood
