Stiletto nails make me think of Rita Repulsa - the wicked lady in Power Rangers - especially these ones: I'm sure she started the trend!!

I joined in early 2009 after reading loads of comments on Rocks tv's chat about this st.com! I looked you up, found you and joined! It was quite a while before I posted and then I think it was a get well message to someone I 'knew' from Rocks. It was a while before I plucked up the courage to...

It's always the traditional turkey and trimmings for our Christmas dinner - wouldn't be Christmas dinner if we had anything else! I have cooked the same thing since our first Christmas together (1983) with only the veg changing slightly! When it was just the 2 of us I used to cook the biggest...

We nearly always buy a present for the house - a new rug, a Blu ray player, a PS3, Trivial Pursuit etc - it's how we justify buying those things that you can't give to one person but we would like to have!!

Some microfibre cloths do feel quite harsh so I wouldn't risk those on my face but the Tesco value ones are really soft and I don't have a problem with them. I can't use facial scrub products - the kind that have granules/bits in - they do major damage to my skin (a body scrub brought me out in...

I use Tesco Value microfibre cloths (from the household cleaner aisle) as my face cloths - 5 for £1-50! I have very sensitive skin but they are fine for me. After a few washes, when they start to get a bit less white, they get relegated to their original purpose - house cleaning cloths!!

Trinkets And Things? :hi:

My husband is very good at buying presents - I have had some beautiful jewellery, some very nice handbags and some lovely lingerie over the years. I have also had pans, a casserole dish, a wok, knives, a kettle, tool set etc etc. Much as I love the jewellery and stuff it is the practical...

I have one of the tart burners with a lid which massively cuts down the residue on the wall but doesn't seem to dim the scent. I can pop the wax out without freezing it too - I push down on one edge with a lolly stick or something similar and it dislodges quite easily.

Have always called the downstairs toilet 'the cloakroom' (and I have 'washbasins' too)!! I hang up wet coats and macs and keep outdoor shoes and boots in there. I also have matching towels (NOT NN) and nice soaps (yes, L'occitane), flowers on the shelf, pictures on the walls etc because it will...

I love fresh flowers but have fake ones too - plastic, fabric, whatever. Had an artificial bouquet as well which, like loujareth, I still have 26 years on. The only problem I have with artificial flowers is that they need dusting and that's something I'm not very good at!!!

I like practical presents - I've told my husband I would like a steam generator iron for Christmas! In the past I have had a socket set for Valentine's (genuinely pleased) and a Black and Decker Quattro for birthday - again, well chuffed. Also had sewing machine, die cutter, pans, a kettle and...

Honestly can't remember but I was almost certainly Googling something! I seem to remember I joined fairly quickly but lurked for a long time before plucking up the courage to comment! I'm glad I found it - it's funny, informative, infuriating and a great way to pass an awful lot of time...

I think the last thing I bought was the set of 5 LED torches, about November, for stocking fillers - really useful little torches! Can't say that anything has made me even close to buying since then - mind you, I haven't watched that much!

I wasn't watching on day one but I came in fairly soon after I think. It was quite a while before I bought anything though - my first purchase was a Kirk's Folly key chain which I still have!! It always seemed to be jewellery showing back in the early days. I used to like the Doll shows with...

Check Amazon - Search for 'betty dye' in health and beauty!! http://http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_9?url=search-alias%3Ddrugstore&field-keywords=betty+dye&sprefix=betty+dye%2Caps%2C208

There I was feeling all virtuous 'cos I have never bought anything useless from QVC and you had to remind me about this!! Yes, I confess - it's buried in the garage somewhere having never even been opened!:sad:

It always amazes me when these errors end up on products. It's extremely prevalent in the craft world - eg 'your special' which always has me screaming 'my special what???'. So much for Quality Control - at QVC (or IW) as well as the manufacturer. Maybe they think most people won't notice...

Sorry, I really like the orange one!!

Well, I AM a lady of a certain age and I am also somewhat larger than I would like to be.............I also have a wardrobe overflowing with Kim & Co, I love it. BUT, I adore Joe Browns clothes and Fat Face, have quite a bit from Next too and the odd designer piece (cast off from sister!) and...
