i checked out marks and spencers food hall when i was back in the uk in may. i never really ever shopped there because it's too expensive, but the range looked even better than when i left 4.5 years ago.
and as for next.... my aussie girlfriend went into next on oxford st while i jumped into borders in search of some good books. she came and found me not too long after complaining about how bad the clothes were!!!

I haven't found myself as yet missing any UK shops. That could change though. I just love shopping in the big shopping malls. There was nothing to compare to them in N.Ireland (shopping centres very small), so I guess shopping is still a big novelty.

Re: What Shops Are You Missing????
I totally miss Next too - especially for my little un's clothes. I used to buy alot of his clothes there and not found anywhere that compares to that yet for quality and price. Next clothes just wash and wash and wash and still look fab!!!
I also miss H&M, New Look & Primark - all for their great cheap & chearful stuff, and River Island (God I love that shop), Morgan, Ravel shoes & Monsoon for not so cheapy stuff.
But although I miss these shops alot, I still wouldn't trade my life here - I love it!!!!!!!!!!

I could get my Mum to purchase and send, but I haven't got the kinda figure that I can chuck anything on and get away with it, so there could be some too-ing and fro-ing in the mail...weeks of hassle.
My only other thing is Boots' 'The Sanctuary' body souffle (it even sounds lovely!) moisturiser. I shipped 3 tubs over, but I've almost finished my 2nd . It's just such a heavy tub, I feel I can't ask anyone to bring it over.
Mr Logan/Barina Boy, brought some Fortnum and Mason marmalade over (apparantly it's the best, ..don't know I don't eat it), and he's almost run out. :scared:

Try Virgin Vie products,go onto their website and findout who your local rep is,as they do parties in peoples houses(like tupperware but body stuff).
I used 'sanctuary' stuff most of the time untill i discovered virgin vie.you'll love it and it is international,
