Hairdressing

Took girls to great hairdressers. They got to sit in cars or miniature barbers chairs and watch their own TV or play station whilst getting their hair cut. Price of £2.50 includes the wash and blow dry. They got to lie flat whilst having their hair washed – Angelica thought it very exciting. I needed my colour done and was bit worried about who to go to, in the end settled on top technician and stylist at Tony and Guy Manila! OK slightly OTT I know! BUT Had the best cut I’ve had for a long time and whilst pricey for Manila it was still half what I would have paid on Lewsiham High Street and I had a pedicure and back massage thrown in. If anyone is considering coming out, get all your beauty treatments done here (and come with an empty suitcase). Its worth the airfare just to come and shop and get pampered for 14 days. While your at it u can get teeth whitened, cosmetic dentistry and all manner of plastic surgery at the Mall!!!

Next to the Hairdressers is a photo studio where can get a 20 minute professional photo shoot with 4 photos for £5. Great way to record an extreme makeover Manila Stylie…….Actually its a kids studio and they get to dress up - will take the girls one rainy day as it looks like fun!

There’s a new Mall that’s opened about 10 minutes walk from our house – all the usual brands including M&S, Debenhams Top Shop, Clarkes, Mango. Its not fully open yet but will have lots of nice eating places and bars on the roof. In the past we had to travel to get to somewhere nice to sit outside and eat but now we’ll be able to walk or stagger there without neogiating any traffic………….. We are becoming very Philippino spending our spare time in the Mall where it’s cool and basically provides eating, drinking, playing spaces for the kids, shopping, pampering and a gym all under a large air conditioned roof! Its just too hot to bother with travelling too far although hopefully will begin to cool a little soon. Marc and kids been to see quite a few films the latest being shrek 3, at Mall. All the films come out same time as US presumably coz of the prirating. They show the same film at all the cinemas for a week or so then it changes - even so shrek DVDs were on the streets for 50p the day after its launch!
