This week during a lovely week off work!my Husband and I went to meet a friend of mine at
Meadowhall shopping centre in Sheffield.We live quite away from each other so we sort of meet in a place in the middle,which is just about here! We have met her here before so we know what it is like,for those of you that have not been I will tell you a little about it,
I'll try not to make it too long winded!
Meadowhall is a shopping centre that sits on it's own outside the centre of town.To check out more whats there take a look at there website
http://www.meadowhall.co.uk/ to give you an idea it has
alot of big name shops including LUSH,Debenhams,Boots,W.H.Smith,Radley,Bench,Crocs and
Primark to name a few.It is mainly more high end shops I would say which may appeal to some and may be a turn off for people too.I would say I prefer more of a balance as I do love a bargain(There was a pound shop though,years ago though when I visited they didn't even have that!)
A good plus to the centre is that they do have free parking which is always great for shopping trips.There is also a large central area called the Oasis
Foodcourt where it is a mass of tables circled with food outlets on two floors.These are mainly high end prices again but there is a
MacDonalds at least (My choice every time!) Also there is a large cinema too if you wanted to make a longer day of your trip and do something else besides shopping.
I would say though that I find it easy to get lost in there,maybe because I have not been too often but I think it is mainly to do with the decoration.Nothing stand out in there,no focal points really,so to me one end looks very much the same as the other and although the list of shops sounds
alot you
find yourself covering the same ground
alot,well in my opinion anyway! All in all an O.K place to go,but as it is quite away from me I wouldn't really go unless I was meeting my friend as it is nothing special but if you are looking for a change and you live not too far away,give it a go,you just might like it.
Now for what I brought (Only got a couple of bits,I was really good!)
Firstly is LUSH,I got some more of the toner water to try.Currently I use the
Eau Roma one,but I do get blemishes so decided to try the Tea Tree one and see if it helps more.The prices of
alot of things in LUSH have now gone up so this is now £3.10 for 100g.I also got a sample of Whoosh Shower Jelly.
Next I brought a cardigan from
Primark in Navy.I would have got more there but this was the only one they had in a size 12,
everything had gone in other colours etc..in a size 12! It is a lovely Navy colour but didn't show too well on camera.I have now got another one of these in Brown from my local
Primark.These are £6.85.
On the journey home we stopped into
Ikea and we picked up a candle(Only thing we could find to buy as didn't want or need anything else!) This is in my favourite,a Rose scent,
at last something in a Rose fragrance.My Husband wasn't too keen on it so I will have to burn it when he is at work!
Hopefully it will smell as so many scented candles smell great and then when you burn them they hardly give of a scent at all.These are only £1.19 so it doesn't matter if it doesn't,great size too,a really large jar for the price.Says on jar burn for 30hrs so a bargain!
Oh,also had
hot dogs and ice cream in
Ikea,you just have to,an
Ikea tradition I think! Yum x
