Have you ever wanted to have a painting of your partner, a family portrait, your dog or whatever your favorite photo is? I always loved the idea of painting but unfortunately I'm not the best at it. A few months ago though a friend and I came up with a cool idea, what if you could turn any photo you want into a paint by numbers. That way anyone can paint, anything they want.

We looked up custom paint by numbers and found a few Etsy stores selling them but they were way overpriced and most of them didn't even come with the canvas on a frame. So we looked around and talked to a bunch of suppliers, eventually we managed to produce custom paint by number kits cheaper then anywhere else and already framed (you can still order them without a frame but we found most people want them ready to go out of the box).

Long story short though we're trying to grow and get more people talking about us. So we decided it would be a good idea to reach out to some local subreddits and hopefully you'll enjoy them enough to share your experience :)

You can use the code "COSTPRICEREDDIT" to get our kits for cost price (our margins are pretty slim right now we want to be as affordable as possible). You can get up to 4 kits at that price so feel free to buy a few and plan a date night, family activity or just get your Christmas shopping done.

I am moving to Dunstable and I am trying to find out information about waste collection on Central Bedfordshire council website, but I can't find what I am looking for. I know there are two bins, black and orange. Is the orange one for recycling? What can go into that bin? Do I understand correctly there is another bin for glass?

It's #BedfordshireDay today, so you may have seen a few more of our county flags around than usual. Here is a little inforgraphic to help those who are new understand the design.

Looking for recommendations for a good steak in or around Bedford, in fact anywhere in between Bedford and Aylesbury as that’s my journey on Wednesday evening.

I moved to Bedford recently for work and struggling to find clubs and stuff to meet people. Any clubs for people in their 20s or group of people in a similar boat?

Hi,

Looking for a really nice Italian restaurant in the area. I’m sure there are plenty but just looking for somewhere nice for a date with a nice atmosphere and good selection of pastas. Don’t mind driving about 30 minutes Thanks

With Christmas fast approaching, it’s certainly not too early to start thinking about where you’ll get all your Christmas presents this year, and with Bedford full of brilliant independent businesses, we’ve pulled together the Bought in Bedford guide to help.

Hi all I am doing an A-level project on the place perception on Rushden Lakes and was wondering if you guys could answer one question for me?

'How long do you typically spend at Rushden Lakes?'

If you could fill in the form which is just the question above I would greatly appreciate it!: https://forms.gle/PPkshbSfYBHgXJFj8

Feel free to drop any comments you have about Rushden Lakes below (good or bad!). Thanks

Hey, has anyone been affected by Nuisance Bikes across Central Beds and Luton? As I am tired that around Luton and Dunstable, a lot of Youths have been recklessly riding Motorbikes around parks and footpaths. I know the Police have launched Operation Skytree. But I have been hit by one around a similar time to when the Police have launched the operation in the first place.

Hello and good day to everyone! I am an international student on India and I am going to start a Masters of Pharmacology course in the university around February of next year. I wanna know from anyone from the university if it is as bad as everyone says it is. I am also aware of how low the ranking is but I chose this university because how cheap the fees and the accommodation is and how close it is to London, so it will be even cheaper to go back to my home country. Also I feel from just the infrastructure it is better than the university I did my undergraduate course (Pharm D). I also wanna know if the job prospect is also as bad as most people say. If you need any other information from me please let me know. Thank you and have a nice day!!

I am trying to get a Credit Card and they want me to get my Passport certified by a notary, solicitor, GP, or anyone certified as such(no postmaster weirdly) So I am trying to find a place to get that done for as cheap as possible. PS:- I want somewhere in Bedford City.

After a while without going to Bedford, I've recently paid a visit. So, I went to have a coffee at Caffe Crema, in Bedford High Street. And surprise!! Working there, some ladies I had never seen before, and no trace of the previous people working there. Does anybody know what happened to the prevous owners/employees? Are they now at some other business? Thanks.

Are there any streets that go all out for Halloween? Wondered about taking the kids somewhere a little more festive than my village which is run by puritans.

Hi everyone, I am a geography student currently completing a project that examines the effectiveness of regeneration efforts on Bedford High Street and Silver Street. It would be a big help to me if you could spare a few minutes to complete my survey. Thank you

I m52 am looking for any groups of ravers in the Bedfordshire area that I could possibly join? I used to go raving with my girlfriend but we split last year so looking to make some new friends to go raving with. I’m not on fb or insta so trying on here. Thanks in advance
