I have noticed recently that Gemporia are now stating treatments - in full - on their graphics. In the past when an item was shown it said "F" or "I" and you had to be able to look at their treatment page online or call and ask the centre what that letter meant. If you even realised it was a...

At this time - Dave on flogging Jadeite again. It seems we don't even get respite from his hard sell on Christmas Day.

I think you can search the ASA site to see previous judgements on companies. I must have a look at some point to see how many Gems have.

Unusual though it is for me to defend Gemporia. (There is so much that is wrong.) I must say that most white cultured freshwater pearls are bleached. I bought a pair of their Fireball earrings about a year or so ago and Googled then. I just re-Googled and it is still very common...

It's going to be interesting when the accounts get lodged. Remember also Jake's Wife is involved in DH Jewels.

I just checked Companies House again for David Harry Jewels and the nature of the business is listed there as: "47990 - Other retail sale not in stores, stalls or markets " So retail, not wholesale, not selling to other traders but selling to the public. Not selling via shops, stalls or...

Jess Foley is ****** awful for misleading people. I saw the show you mentioned and it was so blatant it shocked me. Mind you, there also seems to be an increasing whiff of desperation from all the presenters at the moment. There is definitely more badgering to multi-buy. More time-pressure, more...

I'm in the same boat. First Christmas without Mum. I'm going to put a framed picture on one of my tables. Buy her a lovely bunch of flowers and put them next to it. I was dreading it. But now I feel she would want me to make the best of it. The flowers and photo are a very small way of...

Err... I must confess to a choccy advent calendar. I used to get one for Mum and the same for me. (I lived with her and looked after her.) I am continuing the tradition this year - although no Mum now - because it has good memories and reminds me of how I came home once to find she (at the age...

Table gifts, tree gifts, stockings (on top of all the other gifts) never done any of those. Not as a child or an adult. Crackers on the table - yes. Ideally with relatively crappy prizes - the plastic fish that curls up, that kind of thing - that you could all laugh at. I did start a Christmas...

Nope. Not steel. Not interested. With Diamonique, that's not much away from "brass and glass" and I get similar much cheaper elsewhere - if fancy some costume jewellery.

I worked as an NHS Oncology Research Nurse for many years. While my personal opinion is that cannabis definitely has medical uses. I, personally, am not convinced that it is a cure for cancer. However, it could possibly help with some symptoms - my jury is out on that. However, I really just...

This is why if I want something I always try to buy the last one (or two - and send one back). That way I know what I am getting and, hopefully, it is the studio sample. I did buy a couple of bits this December for Christmas. I have not ordered for a year before. But I am still nervous so...

Troffie is on now. WIth the ever-present Jade - and Ellis acting as his loyal sidekick. They are banging on phenomenal pressure to make people buy two. It's frankly distasteful. Now it might be me, but on Dave's jade pieces at the moment I cannot see any info on how many they had made. Usually...

Here you go. I took a pic.

Today, on Angeline's shift she appeared with a sign behind her which read: "Black Friday Mysery - Midday." When this "spelling error" was pointed out by viewers the missing "T" was found. Angeline "joked" it was a deliberate error to see if the viewers were paying attention. And what was the...

If that's the case maybe that is the reason Charlie Barron left. Maybe Dave "Debbie" Harry Troth is taking over the pearl corner of Gemporia and Charlie has been moved to the side.

I had not seen Hattie for a while. Has she had cheek filler? Either that or she's got mumps or very weirdly-applied blusher and highlighter.

Just thought I would drop in to Gems and see what was on. Was hoping for a bit of variety - it is the run-up to Christmas after all. But. No. First thing I saw? Jade Troth standing in front of his illuminated fish tank looking morose. Hardly an uplifting image. I clicked in - and clicked...

Jainey is launching her own range. I'm not sure how it will go, but we will see. Some of the same old products, advent candles and the like. I like some of the smells of some of her candles. But, as many of you know I have been a practising initiated Wiccan for 40 years and some of the oils she...
