UK People!

[Pixie]

Hmm I can't find the UK section on here anymore:confused:

OK nearly went to Hamleys today but didn't I knew I couldn't handle it lol

I went to Selfridges instead, and got stared at people were staring at me so much I actually went to find a mirror to see if I had something on my face, but I didn't, (hard being a total babe) :p

Looked at Jimmy choos and rather pricey undies and DP got shouted at as he went to the ladies instead of the gents LMAO twit

It has snowed 2 days in a row now, Eliza has her first cold and is on a serious snot marathon my heart is breaking for her she whistles as she sleeps I want to hold her non stop my poor baby

Guys, my heart is breaking for you missing out on Mothercare the winter outfits are mega cute

I am pretty housebound now as Eliza is so sick :(

Hi Pixie

Been thinking of you. Have decided that I am going to live my life vicariously (sp) through you. Here is my list of things to do:- (sorry at lot of it will probably involve eating and drinking, lol!)

1. Eat some Walkers Cheese & Onion and Salt & Vinegar crisps

2. Got to a REAL pub

3. Have an M&S Prawn Sarnie

4. Drool over the clothes in Next for kids

5. Go on the tube and a London Bus

6. Meet up with my girlfriends, flirt with some "Suits", catch the night bus home and feel like c*ap the next day.

7. Goto the theatre

8. Goto Brick Lane and have a dodgy curry

9. Watch the Bill, Corrie, Eastenders, Parkie and some daytime trash

10. Buy a bottle of wine in the supermaket and pack your own shopping bag

Let me know how you go Pixie, await further instructions in due course:D :D

Hope Eliza gets better soon

Hi!

I lived and worked in the UK For 13months a couple of years ago and LOVED it! But I haveto agree- the cold is pretty bad. You look out the window and it looks all sunny and nice,and as soon as you get outside you are freezing your booty off!

One of the funniest things was when we went grocery shopping for the first time, we went to Morrisons and we had no idea that they didnt bag the groceries for you- we just assumed the cashout people did that because thats what it is like with all supermarkets in Australia! So here we are with all the groceries piling up as she scanned them and no one was bagging them and we were both looking at each other really weird as if to say "Arent you going to bag them?" Until she actually did say that and I was like "OH, oops, I didnt know" lol

Keep warm!

[bechope]

[natasha]

[Purplebird]

My Goodness you're making me soooo homesick :gloomy:

I would like to add some other suggestions to the list of things to do:

16. Go shopping for proper bargain clothes in places like H&M, Top Shop and Dorothy Perkins.

17. Watch some decent TV!!!

18. Go to the theatre in the West End.

19. Go anywhere in Europe for a holiday without paying the equivalent of two months salary.

20. I'm with pp on the crispy aromatic duck! Oh, and the curry...yum!

21. Go shopping in Harvey Nicks.

22. Go and see any one of a multitude of live bands.

23. Do all the daggy touristy things- you know, Tower of LOndon, Buck Palace etc.

I could go on forever!!! Hope you settle in well and hope your lil one gets over her cold soon (better get used to colds, you'll probably have about ten a year!)

:laughing: Yep Ireland! Oops

Think we are going to keep Pixie busy, hope she can afford it all:laughing:

[Clinya]

Manxie - Get Foxtel it helps with a fix of uk tv!!!!

[Pixie]

OK we're going to Paris in September via Eurostar so that's already taken care of :D

Hmmmm duck yumbo

Ireland pish done that for 8 weeks when I was a teenager, need something else Isle of Man will do then.....;)

Manxie he loves it, totally unware yet of the weather keeps saying he likes the cold, he is yet to live through 5 months of cold, I shall ask him in March next year if he still likes it lol

PB we plan to do the Wheel and some of that stuff take a picture of Eliza in front of Buckinghuge Palace!

gosh you have given me a busy time lol

[Manxie]

OOh Pixie I'm jealous, I love PARIS:smiliedance: and Crispy Duck!!!! LOL!

Glad your DH is enjoying it, mine never bothered about the cold when he lived in the UK think all the central heating helped. Has anyone tried to cook you yet? We found when we were last over that everyone turned up the heating so high as they thought we would be cold that we could hardly breathe!!

p.s. Isle of Man is great (bit expensive to get to though!)

[Pixie]

Well last DP felt cold so we had the heating on 27c I find though if it is up to high I can't breath!

[rubyredlips]

Oh, to sit in an English pub, preferably with a real fire, and a soothing pint........ah! if only.......

I keep going with foxtel (eastenders every night at 7pm drives dp nuts :D and I watched Lilly Savage do blankety blank yesterday morning!), and bbc radio online, Chris Evans, jonathon woss,

Sorry to hear Eliza is sick Pixie, get well soon little one!

Fingers crossed to be over there before the end of summer this year :fingerscrossed:

[filmgirlgail]

Hi

I miss the theatre - used to go to the musicals and the South Bank all teh time. Oh and I'll be having the Crispy Duck when I go home in 10 weeks!!!! :smiliedance:

[Pixie]

Guys been a week now and been using Pampers nappies and all I can say is HUGGIES suck a$$ these nappies rock my socks I got 54 or something for 9 quid too bloody crazy the wipes are awesome as well but bit pricey at 5 pounds for 200 I think defintely a item to get on sale.

Also can't get over this one, Argos has become a really good store, not just a bogan/chav store got some decent stuff in thar.

Hoping to get to London Zoo in a couple of weeks really looking forward to that!

Yup we used Pampers this hols and I brought some back with me :) I couldnt believe how cheap nappies and wipes were in Tescos buy 2 packs of nappies for 15 pounds or something like that...plus the range of baby food just blew me away...as did the range of all organic food too...and not as big a price hike as here...
I msising the pub too...we went to my local a couple of times whilst home, log fires, scrummy food and lots of wellies and dogs!!
We also didnt really feel cold, that mainly cos my dad had fires lit all the time and the aga heats the house...and we wrapped up heaps...
oooooooo sounds like you going all out with the day trips...havent been to London Zoo since was little - let us know what was like!!
And yes Argos has changed dramatically hasnt it!!
its funny i dont want to live all the time at home but to be able to pop back for the weekends would be heaven!!
ENJOY!!

8. Goto Brick Lane and have a dodgy curry
