How not to shop in London...
Yesterday Hayley and I decided to go shopping for a few house things. There's a shop over here called Argos where you go and select what you want from catalogues, order them from the sales person and then they go and get your items from out the back. Everything's quite cheap so we thought we'd buy the things we needed from there.
Our shopping list consisted of a dvd player, a microwave, coathangers, a rubbish bin and a clothes horse. Hayls and I, being fairly typical Aussies, didn't even consider how we were going to get all this stuff home. We just happily ordered away and then started getting worried as more and more stuff started coming out from the back. Then we got the giggles realising just how much we had to carry between the two of us. The sales guy was looking at us like we were crazy! Needless to say, we needed a black cab just to get all our purchases and us home.
I think we can safely say we've learnt our lesson - never buy more than you can physically carry in London!

oh by the way Bron,your pet has been causing all sorts of problems in BT.Apparently when we are away she makes such a bloody noise that Sue from next door has come over to feed her just to stop the noise!We did not know that that was happening but the secret is out,she is neurotic,precious and very attention seeking..but I still like Sue a lot.
