Thank you Boots!

I always try to get shampoo and hair products from England because it's so much cheaper there. I got all of the stuff in the photo for £15 (160kr). Just the shampoo alone would've been £10 in Sweden.

Can't believe it took me this long to realize that I can get stuff from Boots at Stansted as it doesn't affect the hand luggage liquid restrictions.

Christmassy things

Yesterday I went to Hemel Hempstead to do some Christmas shopping. Then later we had a nice Christmassy evening. We had mulled wine and wrapped all the gifts.

Tonight we're going to the cinema. There's this old cinema called The Rex here, it's from the 30s and it's supposed to be really nice! Going to see 'A Christmas Carol'. Lol Christmas overdose here!

Xmas shopping

Yesterday after submitting my last essay for this term I went to Oxford street for some xmas shopping. I met up with Andy later and we had sushi at one of those places where it goes around on a thingy (lol don't know how to explain). Anyway, it was nice!

I'm off to Camden with Camilla now for some more Xmas shopping. She's going back to Stockholm tomorrow :(

Freshers week

This week is freshers week at Uni. Which means no classes and loads of activities for freshmen. I think I might go to the uni pub one night with this other girl from Stockholm uni but other than that I think I'm a bit too old for freshers week!

So this basically means I'm off most of the week, except for tomorrow since it's registration. There's also this optional English test that I might do tomorrow.

Right now I'm in Westfield shopping centre in Shepherd's bush and they've got free wifi! I'm just having a coffee break from shopping... Not sure if shopping is the right word considering I haven't bought anything yet. I have to try to remember I'm on a student's budget and shouldn't spend all my money at once...

I'm loving this Friday!

Just went for a 4 km run and now I'm getting ready to go to London. A day of shopping ahead! It's also my first day of traveling alone on the London tube, hope I don't get lost! ;)

IKEA

Yep we visited the most Swedish place on earth yesterday; IKEA! I've never been to an IKEA abroad before but it's just like home! It's strange really how a person could be thousands of miles away from home and just walk into IKEA and feel like they're in Barkarby or Kungens kurva in an instant.
I know what I'll be doing if I get homesick!



We got some stuff that we need for the apartment which is still pretty empty. Well it's not empty but there are some essential things missing, so I guess we'll have to go a few times. Not complaining by the way -I love IKEA! :)

It's strange buying stuff for the apartment and decorating knowing that I'll only be here for a few months. I love doing it so I'm not complaining but I would love doing it even more if I knew I'd be here to stay.

Grocery shopping

All of this for £20!! I love England! Sweden is so much more expensive when it comes to food!




This was yesterday's shopping at Tesco. Today I went to Waitrose which is more expensive but bigger. I just love grocery shopping in new countries!

An afternoon of shopping

I went shopping for a dress today and found a few that were ok. I ended up buying a pink dress with some white and gold in it, sounds weird but it is actually really nice. Got a pair of matching light pink shoes to go with it. The thing is....pink just isn't me. I really like the dress and I love the shoes but I'm just not very comfortable in them. Every nice dress I found today was either pink or white so I had to go with that color.
I might go to town tomorrow to see if I can find something else. I've also got this dress I wore for my cousins wedding that I absolutely love, but it's got a tiny little stain on it (that I can't even see in this light), so it needs to get dry cleaned in that case. Think I'll have a look in the morning and try the pink one on again and then decide.

It's nice that I got something tho! Whatever happens, I won't have to stress about it.

Ok, time for a couple of episodes of Game of Thrones and then bed time!
