Today was nice to be able to go shopping and not think about university! My cousin Jeanette and I went for a spot of holiday shopping in West Quay in Southampton....which was a success - yay! We arrived at 11ish where I was dreading the site of fast paced shoppers dashing around which is the usual site that I see when I visit. Luckily though for us, it wasn't that busy and we were able to shop at a normal pace.
Going in and out numerous shops where I was assuming I would not find anything suitable for holiday, I was glad and surprised to find various things that I could take. First off I got a nice coral strap top and sleeveless style top that ties up (I am not very good at describing it!) but both would be ideal for Florida.
I also braved Primark to see if there were any bargains where I found a nice pair of blue linen shorts and a strapless navy dress - again both are good for Florida. Luckily it wasn't very busy in here - the joys of shopping on a quiet week day!
I got a pair of jean style jeggings too which will be nice to wear in New York - it's so difficult trying to buy for two different locations when the weather could be completely opposite to each other!
I also got two skirts from H & M but think I will end up taking these back as I didn't think they looked right when I got home - but it means I can buy nicer things for holiday.
At the end of the shopping trip we popped in Superdrug to buy different holiday bits and bobs like the toiletries (which isn't very exciting unfortunately). I managed to buy quite a lot of different things and ended up finding lots of bargains in there - I love a bargain.
After five hours of shopping we got back to the car to try and rush back to Portsmouth and miss the rush hour traffic - which we luckily did as we had planned to go to the 6.30p.m showing of The Woman in Black.
We managed to get to the cinema early ready to watch the film. There wasn't many people in the cinema either which was surprising for a Friday night. I was pretty scared about watching the film - considering I had been scared from the advert, however, I only found out that night it was actually a 12a so I figured that perhaps it wouldn't be that bad.
I was wrong - okay so there were only a few 'jumpy' bits in the film but at these parts I found myself watching behind my hands that were infront of my face. The worst thing was that I could keep visualising the creepy people afterwards, even though I went out of my way to watch various TV shows that night! I love to watch scarey films but at the same time I don't!
So that was the end of a great day - even though I didn't sleep great which I knew would happen!
Maybe next time it will be a chick flick at the cinema.
