I have had such a fun couple of days, but I am absolutely shattered! My Mum and Auntie Jen and Auntie Josie flew over yesterday to go wedding dress shopping. We had an appointment booked at Heavenly Bodies Bridal or the Fat Girls Bridal Shop as I like to call it. I was most amused when my Mum genuinely accidentally called it Hefty Bodies Bridal. The best thing about this shop is that it is in a private house and you have the whole of the two hour booking to yourself. No-one else around which means you have one to one attention and no-one else to watch you making a tit of yourself in giant meringues. I had decided that this shopping trip was the chance for me to try on some dresses and see what they looked like, but Mum was going to make it for me. However, I hadn't banked on finding an absolutely gorgeous dress which my wonderful Mum bought for me. I love it and it is very me.
So, by 2pm yesterday the wedding dress was bought which meant we had to go to Oxford Street to undertake some serious shopping. Anyone who knows me well knows that I HATE shopping. I find it boring and tedious and I end up with a sore back. Well that was all true, at some points, BUT Auntie Jen and Auntie Josie are absolute demon shoppers, They are hilarious and could happily spend hours and hours in each shop, whilst continuing to protest that each is not as bad as the other. They make Mum and I look like amateurs.
It was such fund to spend some time with them and we stayed in a very convenient hotel opposite from Kings Cross Station. We finished off an excellent couple of days shopping with a fantastic lunch, with wine of course, at Carluccio's at St Pancras Station. So, now I am home alone, knackered, but happy.
