Re: Bluewater - never again!!

[Guest guest]

In a rash moment last week (half term) I offered my two girls (15 and

12) a trip to Bluewater, with each bringing a friend. So off we went

last Friday, leaving at 9:15, got there at 11:00, split into 3

groups - well, me on my own and girls in pairs. The only good thing

was that mobile signals there seem to be very good so we kept ringing

each other saying " where are you? " and " have you had enough yet? Can

we go home? " . I only bought one thing; a pair of handmade Australian

jodhphur boots and I coveted a lovely jacket in Jaeger but it was

£850 so I decided to give it a miss! We finally left at 4:30, queued

for hours at the Dartford tunnel and got home exhausted at 6:30.

Personally, I wouldn't bother going again - it's too big and none of

the shops are at all special; certainly not worth a 2 hour drive for

me who HATES shopping (unless it's bookshops). Even the girls said

they wouldn't be bothered to go again, thank God! Still, you have to

do these things once in your life, and I can now say I've been

there! Ruthie, just stick to Brent Cross with your occasional trips

to NYC - much more fun!

Thanks for the tip, I'm off week after next to NYC for two and a half

days solid shopping!
