London- Shop till we drop!

Today the girls and I went up to London, we caught the 9:31am train with the day day planned to walk down Regent street, Carnaby St, Oxford street and on to Hyde park Winter wonderland.

We had a lovely time popping in and out of the shops and looking at all the Christmas lights and window displays. The window displays are not like they used to be though!! We walked up through Leicester square to Regent St, nipped down Maddox St where I used to work and now the shop is a wine bar. Before carrying on we stopped for a Subway the girls were hungry I just had a tea. Popped in to the Apple store, Karen Milen had some fantastic reductions now that I brought anything. Carried on to Oxford St has a lovely stroll popping in and out of a few shops - I fail to see the fantastic reductions that the papers keep saying. On to Hyde Park such a rip off with prices - hubby and I was there 5th Dec the Bratwurst were £4 NOW they are £5 and the ride tokens were £1 each and most rides required 3 or 4 tokens - Becky and I enjoyed a Bratwurst to the only stall that hadn't put their price up. Sat down at a table and it was really nice.

Back to Oxford street and Bex gets the dress that she tried on in Bromley in her size so she was very pleased. We had a nice coffee break stop in Debernmas and looked around the store as they a a fair amount of reductions but did not buy anything.

Carried on and into H&M the girls seem to like that store and Mills choices herself a nice dress and jacket trues in on and looks fab, so Mills is really happy.

Wow the time flies when your having fun, its now 4:30 and we're about to make our way back down Regent st, one last look in Karen Milen and on to Cranaby st to see the snowmen in the dark and look at the shops, there was a lovely little arcade that we walked down and it was decorated really nice too. ...then Leicester square to meet hubby and we all enjoyed Pizza Hut before coming home.

It was a wonderful day the girls thoroughly enjoyed it, as soon as they came home run the bath to put their feet in as they said I walked their feet off.

We arrived back and the post included a couple of Christmas cards and the last item I won on Ebay.A book- Christmas beading.
