LATE post, but its here!!

Hiiii.
I know I haven't updated in a while soz bout that!

Anyhu, last week Jake was at science camp again all week. I found a craft store reasonably near by and went there to get some scrapbook stuff, which was ok. Its been a bit of a palava since then with me getting charged twice for stuff, not getting refunds for others etc, hopefully that all works out ok!
It was suuuper sunny last week, ended up getting a little sunburnt! Ouchy. Just kinda hung out round home really, had a few play dates and yeah.

I found Oxford St.....Thursday I went into Euston Station to meet a mate. He had just come back from camp (where I went last year) and had time to kill at Euston station before a train home. After that I just went wandering in town for a bit. Managed to find Oxford St, finally! Amaaaazing street! I went into TopShop (whot, BTW do free personal shopping sessions...guess I'm just gonna have to get me one of those!) and got a really cool skirt for £13 odd, TopShop also do student discount -huzzah!, and just kept wandering. Found the Disney store. Geeked out a tad there! Went on down the street cos I wanted to get to Selfridges. Hehehhehe. Got there. Its amazing. I didnt have much of a chance to look round, but I booked in a free makeup thing at Bobbi Brown before I had to go get the tube home. Went to pick up Jake and we went to this indoor playcentre thing with climbing things and a ball pit etc. Mucked round there for a bit, I got into it sometimes....I met a really nice chick who gave me her number, shes also a nanny and is a Londoner, so meeting up with her tomorrow to get the lowdown!

Me with Princess Sophia the First

The next day I headed back to Selfridges for my makeup lesson at Bobbi Brown. I had a bit of time to kill before hand so I went around the designer galleries, especially the shoe ones! I wandered into the Gucci Shoe Gallery and some guy came out and showed me round. Zomgggggg. I didnt really like the heels much, but fell in love with some jandal type things and some sneakers (only a cool £250 as I found out online when I got home). Did this make up thing, wandered the rest of the store -loved the toy bit!! And then I decided to wander. I wanted to check out the Buckingham Palace  shop with all their Prince George stuff, so tubed to Green Park and wandered though, past my happy place (where I HAD to take pics) before I found the shop. Amazingly, I didn't buy anything. The mug I wanted (that goes with my royal wedding one and diamond jubilee one) doesn't have his name on it, it was an extra £20 for that, so I walked out to think about it, and I still am!

When we picked Jake up from Science camp that day, the 4 of us went to London Zoo. They have a family pass thing and are gonna get me a year pass, so we didn't catch everything while we were there, but I did have little HP geek out at the Reptile House! I think I wanna go back there one time without Jake so I can look round myself, but while we were there we had a good time. Just looking round, penguins and chimps and snakes. Fun times.

Yep, this is HARRY POTTER'S reptile house

Saturday rolled around. In the morning was the AB's test and I had arranged to watch it from home. Jake came up to my room cos he was super excited to watch the Haka haha. We watched it and about 20 minutes through the Internet cut out...nooo. I ran around the area I'm in and couldn't find anything open with Sky Sports, sucked. I ended up coming home and getting it on my phone with Radio Sport. Anyhu, after that, I had organised to catch up with one of the guys from camp. So we walked from Waterloo station to M&M world (which was a suuuper long walk!). MY GOD M&M world was super amazing. It was like 4 floors of chocolatey goodess. Anything you can think of that could be branded, was. It was amazing. The aircon has the chocolate smell going through it so it just smells of chocolate. Like, I don't even know what to say, it was just amazing. Hopefully these pics will do it some justice.

Piotr and I then went to Planet Hollywood for lunch...that was an interesting experience. Neither of us really knew what was going on....but we eventually got our food and ate, and then paying was an odd experience too....

And theeeeeen we went to the Museum of London. I was only there for a little bit that I needed to get back home, but I seriously wanna go back cos it looked amaaazing.

That night, I had Jake to myself as Emma and Ant were going to the theatre. Thankfully he behaved himeself quite well and we read some stories and he went to sleep pretty well. Phew!!

Sunday I chilled at home for the morning before heading out to the Notting Hill Carnival. It was an interesting carnival. For those of you who don't know anything about it, its a carnival celebrating the West Indian Community in London. It was full of drum and bass music and a whole lot of drinking and dancing and food. It wasn't me, especially not by myself. But yeah. I dunno. Bleugh.

I'll leave that week at that! It was a long post so congrats if you have made it this far!! I'll update the rest sooon xxx
