I am struggling to think of any occasion, on any body shape, where this would look good :confused:

I prefer cream cleansers - love Darphin Intral as I tend towards sensitive, with occasional eczema patches (although I haven't had any since I've been using this). For wash off, in the evening, I like Body Shop Pomegranate facial wash. Occasional scrub with Liz Earle exfoliator.

Another blast from the past! I bought one of those orange/grapefruit squeezer things, sold by a German(?) man - yonks ago. I put in a cupboard somewhere and it only recently came to light while I was having a mega sort out. I might actually give it a go :sun:

Oh yes, give me the informal weddings any day! My big sister got married in 1970 and she had a buffet in our 'local' pub, which was quite big with a nice garden. It was lovely. One of the best I went to was a cousin's, who married a Greek girl, traditional Greek reception with her brothers'...

Along with helium balloons...

Oh goodness, they've been around for yonks, but the wide use of individual desktop machines is more recent. I did my degree in computing in the early 1980's when desktop PCs were coming in, but large mainframes were present in many companies. OH (several years older than me) started in the early...

I can relate so much to 'buying' to compensate for something 'missing' or to cheer myself up. Years ago I moved away from a job I had loved, but which had turned into a nightmare due to my obsessive, nasty boss. I left the job, the town, and a good, if not manic, social life and friends. I had...

I had a really bad allergic reaction to MB shower gel years ago and haven't touched any of it since... Do like L'Occitance handwash but only buy occasionally - agree re TKMaxx, have tried loads from there and they have all been lovely.

So she puts her chicken thighs, HP sauce and frozen peas in her LG bag?? What a mind-blowingly stupid remark :taphead: Well, by he time she's bought 7000 plastic bags, she may have worked out how to remember to take some with her....

I love the colour of the grey one, but they don't look as nice as I thought they might. The brown (sorry, TAUPE) one looks sort of greasy, a bit like my dog's fur when he's rolled in something unspeakable...

I've got some good genes (hopefully) although big sister has skin which is most like Mum's. I just cleanse and moisturise, rarely use a toner, and occasionally a serum (only need a tiny, tiny amount so it should last years - it is not a brand sold on Q). Exfoliate now and again. Sometimes I use...

We've got a big, double-coated dog who loves mud and water too! Recently he had to have 2 sessions at the grooming parlour and you could have stuffed a mattress with his excess fur. He often stinks, but we love him :sun: He doesn't knock the tree over though, as he has a curled over tail.

I think it's the most horrible item of clothing I've ever seen on QVC, certainly the worst thing since that ghastly tin foil stretchy dress a couple of years ago. But then I hardly watch it now so maybe I've missed something even worse...

Ye Gods :mysmilie_11:

I think Silver Fox sums it up beautifully...I too am lucky enough to be fit and healthy and it is a huge blessing.

I'm the same :happy: My eldest sister knows much more about current 'celebs' as she has a son and grandsons - I am childless. Most of the pop/TV/reality stuff today leaves me cold and I don't have a clue who most of the people are. I do not feel at a disadvantage. Perhaps we could have beauty...

I am a casual dresser - jeans, cotton tops, fleeces, gilets etc. so there is not much on Q that tempts me. I am 5'2 and a size 12 so a lot of things like Join and Yong Kim would just swamp me. They used to sell Trespass, whose fleece tops I love, and I would also like to see more natural...

Thank you all for the laughs. The last 2 weeks have been really crappy, though interrupted by a few really nice days.

I have bought a (very) few things from QVC fashion in the past. I still have a plain black Kim top, in the original heavy 'slinky' fabric and it's brilliant - washed loads and still keeps its shape and colour. It all seems very samey now, drapey tunics and baggy dresses, Diane Gilman jeans which...

I wouldn't pay it either, in fact I hardly ever pay full price for bedding, buy in sales and from HomeSense etc. I have a king-size quilt on a double bed so the bottom sheet is useless for me, don't want the extra 2 pillowcases, so not good value. I do like pure cotton but you don't have to...
