London Haul...

Happy Belated Easter Everyone!

My wee mammy got me these for Easter lol super cosy

Ok so down there in my last post I wrote about London and some of the great things to do and see but what I didn't mention was the shopping and as Oxford Street is the Catwalk of London I thought I'd talk a wee bit about the amazing shops and what I picked up:)

 So back in 2011was the 1st time we went to London & I was introduced to Oxford Street & as Oxford street is the busiest shopping street in Europe opening over 300 shops in 2011 I had to go back. No matter ho many times I go to these shops I am totally amazed by the sheer size of the shops, I loved it but stick together you can get lost easily and find yourself talking to someone beside you thinking its your boyfriend like me when he walked away to try on a hat ha anyways....

While I was being lead along the street by mark my little sat nav :) I was constantly checking out what the people of London where wearing and the bags they were carrying, taking mental notes of what I wanted to look out for and where I wanted to shop. This is why I hardly ever knew where I was always looking at the people never the street names.

This time in London I was set on finding their Primark. As sad as it sounds if I can never get what I have been searching for in a certain shop ie boots I always have to take a trip to Primark for a bit of retail therapy to make me feel better so sad I know but owel thats me.

We also took the subway to the Stratford Centre which just opened last year for the Olympics. Oh how I WISH we had a shopping centre like that in Glasgow I was in my glory, great place to make you feel better on a dull rainy day. Every shop you could think of under one roof. Mark and I dragged each other into every shop and we found one we both really liked that we don't have back home....Bershka, (www.bershka.com) kind of like a Zara? We were there ALL day and we still didn't get round all the shops ,marks feet were killing him not mine, mines don't seem to get sore when shopping:P

I ended up spending quite alot of money sooo I had to tell Mark NOT to let me buy anything else & NOT to talk me into buying anything (he has a habbit of saying "aw yeh that's nice get that, who cares if you've bought alot already just get it")cheeky.

Anyways I loved my shopping trip and here are a few of my buys...

Green Dork Top Primark £6?

London Adventures

Recently I turned 22 and for my birthday mark (my boyfriend) and I decided to book a last minute 4day trip to London.

Bday Cake Chosen by Dad

We got the overnight megabus on the night of my birthday arriving in London earlier than planned at 6AM. I have NEVER seen London so quiet. We couldn't check into our hotel until 3pm so we walked around with blistered heels for about 7hours. We found this lovely French cafe/restaurant where we had hot chocolate and a bacon & egg roll....it was delish.





We stayed at a travel lodge in Kings Cross which was only a 5min walk from the subway, handy on a cold night. The hotel could have done with a refurb but the rooms where clean, breakfast buffet was good and it was close to an all line subway so we didn't really need anything else.

Here are a few things we done...

So just before checking in we went down to Leicester square and we got ourselves some tickets to see 'WICKED', which was amazing such a great show, if you didn't already know it's coming to Glasgow 2014 at the Kings, I would definitely recommend going to see it and you don't have to spend a fortune on the tickets we got ours for £32.50 (the cheapest tickets not on sale) and we were still only 15rows from the front.

 So we went to see that on the Monday night after shopping at the Stratford centre which was absolutely massive, I have never seen a shopping centre like it, there was every shop you can think of.We arrived at the shopping centre about 11am and didn't leave until half 4 and we still didn't get round all the shops. It was snowing a bit that day so we didn't go out to see the Olympic Stadium, saved that for next time :P.

 On Tuesday we got up and went to the Zoo which was good fun but again it was a very cold day, the sun kept trying to puss through but the wind was just so icy cold. There was a 6 month old little monkey who was being a cheeky little thing annoying his brothers and getting them to chase him, we stood for about 20mins just laughing at him, so cute. I loved the big lions, one of the lionesses, who was HUGE I'd never seen a female as big maybe pregnant I don't know, but she was beautiful. She lay right at the glass window posing for my camera, I could have sat there all day watching her but my legs were getting sore kneeling + it was freezing. That night we went round to M & M World which was pretty cool. I didn't know there was so much m&m merchandise...loads 3 floors full.

On our last day we went a wee bight of sight seeing, bringing back memories when we 1st saw the London Eye and Big Ben. There is loads to do in London depending on your interests and no matter the weather you can always have fun p.s the subways are great we used them alot this time as your feet get super sore walking all day + if your a shopper like me you'll hav alot of bags :)

   Here are a few more of our photos from our trip....
