LHR 1- April

Gonna do a quick entry on London since I am getting ready for bed, feeling kinda tired by now!

My room in heathrow which was really cozy and nice.
I like my room dark and that makes me go to bed well.

6 comfy pillows that the hotel has - marvelous!

8.50 pounds for dinner, to be honest, food in london is NOT cheap at all, even after discounts :(

met astrid, a friend of rita's who happened to be in London for work too!
A good companion who knows the place well.

It was initially rather nice weather when we were out, around 10-12... then it dropped to 5-8 with strong winds in the later afternoon :~(

Interior looks very much like our buses.

To hounslow, which is a small town 20 mins away since we wanted to do some simple shopping.

1pound store where it's great for people from Dubai. Cost of living in Dubai is so crazily expensive.

London bus carousel!

Shopped toiletries since they have the european brands I needed at a fraction of the price that's sold here at home.

Bought a snack for 3 pounds to warm my tubby!

Love the colorful balloons by the streets and check out the cloudy weather :S

Did Primark for a bit before we went shoe shopping and created a chaos there;
IMG_0682
the shoes are sooo nice, the black platforms are only at 15pounds and r crazily comfortable to wear. Nude heels for 12 pounds.
I'm gonna go back next time!

my purchases which includes knits that i needed for
IMG_0683
primark wasn't that nice to shop really, or was it just me?
love my red velvet pumps since I always wanted a pair in red!

watched toy story for a bit with my lemon muffins from greggs before I dozed off to sleep ;)

Gonna be off the net for a week because my room mate who moved out had to cancel it before I subscribed it back. Well, I hope you enjoyed the updates! :)
Next up for my next LHR - sightseeing in the center!
