Well as a true DISer, there was only one way to tell you about our day, and that was to do a mini trip report :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

A couple of weeks ago, Nat & I decided to have a shopping day to Leicester. The trains weren't running between Nuneaton/Hinckley & Leicester, so we decided to go by bus

Hubby dropped me at Nuneaton Bus Station around 8.30am, and I caught the 8.40am bus. The bus picked Nat up around 9ish and we continued onto Leicester

We got to Leicester around 9.45am, and we wandered into town. Nat pointed out the Litten Tree pub where we were going to have lunch, for us only to find that it was closed down :(

We walked on into the shopping centre, and within minutes we had made our first purchases of the day in Next. I bought a top and Nat got some croppped trousers. After wandering around the shopping centre, we decided to head to Starbucks for some refreshments. I had a hot chocolate and Nat had a coffee

After our brief stop, we hit the shops again. Nat bought out 1/2 of Primark :rotfl2: (where's Joh and a pub when I need her :lmao: ), and we went into most clothes shops and tried stuff on

I'm sure Nat bought more stuff, but for the life of me, I can't remember what else she bought, but by now it was time for some lunch. We wandered around looking for a Yate's pub, but when we couldn't find it, so we hopped into the next pub we found

Nat's Wrap

We had a lovely lunch. I had a vegetable lasagne and Nat had some kind of wrap with chips etc. After a couple (or 3) Bacardi and diet cokes for me and orange Reefs for Nat, we hit the shops again.

We went back to Next where I got some sunglasses for my hols and Nat got some clothes for her kids

We got the bus back around 2.30pm, Nat got off at Hinckley, and when I got back into Nuneaton I bought another nice top before ringing Paul to pick me up.

We had a great laugh. It was so nice to have a girly chat, do some shopping, have a nice lunch and have a few drinkypoos - what more could we want ?

Didn't she want to go to the Sealife centre then Mandy :rotfl: Sounds like you both had a great day - shame I wasn't there, I would have gladly kept you company in the pub while Nat did the Primark thing ;)

P.S. I see you've gone blonde again Nat :)

LOL Joh, there was a picture or screen with some fish on it. I said for her to stand by it and I'd take a photo, and we'd say we'd been to the SeaLife Centre :rotfl2: :rotfl2:
 
Sounds like you had a great day, girls and you both look fab! :goodvibes
