London Lights, Guilt Tripping & the New Ipod

So I'm in London right now; my mum had her surgery and is good and well. She broke my heart, but also worried me with her extreme self-pity for such a simple surgery. I have a feeling she just realized she is old, like in her 60's old. Of course she took full advantage of my worry for her and used it to have me spoil her like no tomorrow. Everything from washing her hair, to zipping her skirt, to having me tell her when the taxi window is open. Yeah so you can spot me from 100m and scream 'MIYAAAAAAAAAAA' in front of everyone, but a window 5 inches from your face you can't see.

I even had to tell her 'Besich dala3'. Seriously, it's getting ridiculous. I'm glad she is ok, but she better stop abusing my gladness for her being ok, by having me do every little thing for her. I can't say no to her, but I think when we are buying groceries and she calls me over for help cause she doesn't know which side the plastic bag opens, even before trying, then we have a problem.


So I went to the new shopping mall, Westfield in Shepherds Bush, it's huge, and has a nice mix of stores, with the luxury stores in a section called 'The Village'. According to their website they also have a handsfree shopping service, where they give you a card, and every time you buy something you show it at the till and they come collect your bags for you. Pretty handy.

Oh and remember how my ipod wasn't working, well I took it to the apple store in the mall with 3 days left on my warranty and they gave me a new one!! I didn't even have my receipt! They just checked it on the system, and even had my address on there from the serial number of the ipod. The guy didn't even test the ipod to see if it really wasn't working. The best part is it had the new features on it such as, the notes, maps etc woohooo. Btw the Digits said they couldn't fix it since I bought it in London and they couldn't fix it in rehab either.


So what are your Eid plans??
