@akolawole

did you get my mail??
i sent ages ago

anyways  I got it. The advice came in handy, many thanks

though i had to postpone my  leave due to work will go soon thought

@funkybaby

sorry to butt in on your thread
but seeing as 'we' are the only females here (most of the time)

SHOPPING tips please

where can I still get good discounts( i know summer is rounding up)
I heard there are some bargain shops outside london
 I may go as far as manchester to see a friend so
name all the places you know with some travel links
I intend to hit the ground , Shopping

hmmm. i think i remember you much earlier posts. Congrats o! na only akolawole you tell the good news abi??

yeah. most shops are almost done with their sales. but you can hurry down to the below listed shops as soon as you arrive:

1. Mkone,  their sales is still on and they've got some very good bargains.

2. Next Clearance Stores   I am not too sure if they have any in manchester or london but i am very sure of birmingham. Good bargains as well. But i will advice you to go there early morning as them dey open before people come in to get all the good stuff  there is a direct train i think from london.

3. New Look. I love this store. Nice things. Their sales is over, but if you enter their stores, at the ''back back'', you will still find some things on sale on their rack. You have to be patient though. Lots of nice things hidden between some ugly stuff.

4. Marks and Spencer. Very good for underwear and lingerie. You will get some ''buy one-get, another half price''.

5. Debenhams. They claimed they had sales but all they brought out were the ugly stuff. But you can get nice men shirts there at bargain price. I think the 'Thomas Nash' section.

5.Bon Marche. I think their sales is still on or you have to get to the 'back' of the stores. Get loads of ''mumsie'' and ''grandma'' clothes there.

6. Q S . Sales are still going on.

7. TM Lewin stores have their shirt prices reduced. Not bad at all. Ends at the end of this month i think.

8. Finally, primark, primark and primark  They have started 'reductions'. So there are loads of £1 stuff. Very good to 'share' to people when you get to naija. Their clothes are not bad though. They just imitate the designs of the big stores. For them, sales no dey end. Na all through the year  with £20, bag go full, hand sef go dey pain you to carry am 

i hope you find my tips helpful. Personally, i shop anywhere i find myself. There is pratically no shopping centre that i have been to that i do not buy something, no matter how small. Strafford's shopping centre aint bad. Birmingham's massive and soooooooooo many stores. The one at Luton is alrite. Hemel Hempstead, okay. If i notice any more stores, i'll let you know.

p.s. keep all your receipts. some stores do VAT rebate. if you intend spending lots of money on shopping, you can get some of the moeny back at the end of your vacation.

@funkybaby

I'll start planning my shopping spree

Thanks


yeah i send thanks to akolawole because he sent me mails after i posted. it came in handy

I have called you but the phone is switched off.

Not fixed the venue yet, i am looking for most convenience place for everyone.

I know you can get a direct train from your end to Liverpool street, then take just one bus to south east OR drop at Stratford, link up with underground to emerge at elephant & Castle.

@Funkybabe
Should get a train directly to London bridge.

@All

Old Kent road, Walworth road or Coldhabour lane(Brixton). Nice Naija restaurants.

@Salsera

@VOR

I am Chelsean to the very core.

Remember we are having our title back BY GOD'S GRACE.

@Funkybabe

What team are you or Oga dey support?

 

@VOR

yes o! i have no choice but to be a manchester united fan. Lower league wont do o! it just has to be a major team at the premiership. are tickets that hard to get?? what about getting them or ebay or one of those online auction sites??
Please, do try and make it on sunday.


@akolawole

i used to be madly in love with arsenal. 

but after i met my Oga, i had no choice but to follow manchester united.  he wont hear of both of us supporting different teams.

the loaction you've chosen for the meeting is just perfect. that way none of us will have to travel too far. thanks.

got your text. i'll call you later and explain.

@ Akolawole, Londoncool, VOR,

Funkybaby and I will be in London tomorrow. So if we can fix the meeting for tomorrow, it will be great. Her schedule too is tight for Sunday.

Sunday is tight for me. I have to attend two churches on Sunday in London. Whereon I would return to Essex on Sunday too.
Though I would be in the UK sometime December. Thats the earliest time I can return to the UK for now.

Many thanks.

@akolawole

sorry. i have to be with my oga tomorrow. i don't want him to give me yellow card o !

i have been trying to call you. i left two voicemail messages on your phone. one last night and another this afternoon.

i am presently in mitcham which as i understand is not far from croydon.

i will be seeing mrpataki in the next few hours.

if we three can't meet today, then i guess we will have to arrange a seperate meeting with londoncool, VOR and the both of us. 

i will be free on monday(bank holiday).

i don try, make the other guys squeeze out time from their tight schedule as well. i understand that everybody is busy.

Akola, i got the stuff thanks man. I sent you an email acknowledging i got the stuff. All of 'em be blueray sha, so e get as he be. But thanks i appreciate it gannnnnnnnnnnn.
