    Default The London Shops

    I finally got some spare time between meetings whilst down in London recently and got round Trumpers, Taylors, D.R. Harris and Trufit and Hill.

    Talk about starry eyed... BUT I managed to keep some self control and restrict my spending to £8.50....it took some will power but it was helped by the fact that most items were sans price tag.

    Anyone else managed a similar feat of control?!?!

    Nope!

    What did you actually buy - as 8.5 pounds doesn't buy you much in any of these establishments!

    LOL!! No - you are unequaled in discipline and restraint! I walked out of Trumpers 155GBP lighter (and I only stopped there because my wife was sitting there with a face like thunder...)

    I did the tour a few weeks ago, more or less as soon as I had a spare day and had moved into London.

    The shops are amazing - starry eyed is the word. I was leaving each shop happier and happier.

    Spending wise, I didn't do tooo bad. I bought a little something in each shop. I ended the day about £100 lighter.

    Ha ha ha!

    I walked into Trumpers repeating the mantra - 'You must only buy soap, you must only buy soap...'

    'Can I help you sir?'

    'Soap...please'

    'What fragrance?'

    'Argh! You are leading down the multiple purchase path...Limes please then I really must...leave....'
