Yesterday, after work, Mum, Soph and I went late night shopping in Milton Keynes. It was heavenly as the place was almost deserted and we were able to wander around and browse without being constantly pushed and shoved by other shoppers. I have done very little shopping online this Christmas and it was great to get things I wanted there and then rather than having to wait. I would avoid Milton Keynes like the plague at the weekends at this time of year but having the shops open until 9pm was wonderful!
Sophie bought lots of little presents for her friends and Mum and I went and chose a hamper for Nan in M&S. As it was quite late they were unable to make it up for us before they closed so we'll need to go back on Thursday to collect it. Another opportunity for a shop!
We were undecided as to where to eat. I was tempted by Cafe Rouge but the only dish Soph fancied had garlic in it and she refuses to eat garlic in the week in case she reeks of it at school the next day! We had a look at Wagamama's but were put off by the seating so we ended up at Giraffe which was almost empty. We had a very pleasant meal, served by a friendly waiter and then ambled off back to the car, stopping to browse a bit more in John Lewis on the way!
