Will do! o/ One thing I do remember from last year is getting free totes from Mastercard or something, which always comes in handy when shopping!

Can anyone suggest any free or low cost things to do in London this Saturday day time with Children, not necessarily Christmas related as we are celebrating a birthday.

I know they have reindeer's in Covent Garden but didn't know if there was anything else nearby?
Preferred Cinema's now Paignton or Exeter!

Does anyone know the Hay's Galleria? Are there 'normal' shops? I mean, not too expensive :)
