I know, it is really annoying. They have been doing it for months now and it is about time they stopped. If you put your tv on mute then you miss what the guests/presenters are saying.

I see next week's pick of the week is Spellbindrs again. They must have huge stocks to get rid of.I know some people love them but the machines and the dies are expensive. There have been loads of Spellbinders on recently and Cuttlebugs and the like. It is getting boring.

I really like the knitting and crochet shows. I have never been able to get the hang of increasing and decreasing in the middle of a row without getting holes in my knitting until I watched someone do it on one of the shows and seeing how it was done made sense to me more than reading a pattern...

Saw Debbie Flint tonight in the most awful dress. Her stomach was sticking out so much I thought she looked pregnant. It was a "Control Wear" dress apparently. She said several times she was wearing a medium - a few sizes larger would have been better maybe.

I have really tried to be gracious and give her time but Jackie Joseph is getting no better. I find it painful to watch and listen to her gabbling. She looks really uncomfortable and dithering still.

Did Julia Roberts really think we were interested to hear what her Diet Chef meal was the other day. Maybe she was just wanting us all to know she is still dieting. It was completely out of context,wasn't a diet chef show, she just threw it in for effect. She also let us know she wasn't...

If anyone needs confirmation as to how expensive Peony flowers are they need only look at the Bethlehem flowers - the glass vase full of cala lilies with lights as well. Not everyone's taste I grant but compare the quantity with the straggly few stems of peony flowers. The silk flowers look just...

Richard Jackson and the Gardening shows We bought those "climbing fushias". One or two grew but need tying in. We have also bought the hibiscus, cala lilies and others things but learnt our lesson as we only had one cala lily grow and have never ever seen anything on the hibiscus - oh also the...

I have seen silk blue hydrangeas recently, think it was Oswaldtwistle Mill or Dunelm Mill. Keep looking before paying these silly prices. She goes on about being RHS certified but look closely and you can still see the frayed adges and plastic bits. They are no different from the ones you can...

I have been flower arranging with both artificial and fresh flowers for years and in my opinion these are not worth the money. You can get lovely silk flowers now at any garden centre, Wilkinson's stores, Hobbycraft - numerous places. I wouldn't dream of paying the prices of these when I can get...

I think it was probably just a figure of speech, I was pointing out that whatever someone spends it is not for people like him to be so condescending. Everyone has something they spend money on and different people have different ideas on what should be a priority, drink, cigarettes, craft...

QVC has got so boring. Same old stuff, Northern nights, pans, yoghurt. I hardly ever watch any more, just check out what's on via my pc in case there is something new which sounds exciting. I think they may be just clearing their warehouses out of stuff they have had for years.

There is no way that woman would inspire me to follow her example. I asked my husband to just watch the programme when she was on and say how old he thought she was - he said quite honestly in her seventies. I have many many friends in their late sixties who are not skinny, whose skin is hardly...

I was watching C&C the other day when Dave Bradford was presenting. He read out an e-mail from a lady who said something like she wished they would stop putting such nice things on as she had "...spent a fortune again buying .....He looked down at the counter, maybe to remind himself of the...

I am fed up with the My Craft Studio ones now. Despite what they say they use up space and once you have a number installed they slow your pc down. There are loads of repeats now as well, may not be identical but similar enough to be almost identical. Unless you run a proper business selling...

Worn out shoes The shoes were a mess. The toes all worn out and scuffed down the sides. Where was the stylist?

I thought the same thing. The poor girl in the white top looked awful. It was tight across her bottom, it looked very thin material because you could see her trousers through it and her undergarments. She should have been in the black.

I found a fabulous site for sewing of all kinds - I was looking for some printed canvases as I already had loads of threads and found "SewandSew's" who sell printed canvases from £1.98 each as well as kits and all sorts of other sewing things at very reasonable prices.

They are far too expensive. If you look closely you see the frayed edges. They are no better than those you can get from Hobbycraft, Dunelm Mill. Wilkinsons, garden centres or even some of the Pound shops have reasonable artificial flowers these days. I have been flower arranging for years and...

I have always wondered about the anaesthetic as well. It is supposed to be one of the most dangerous things about an operation. It would be bad enough having to have an operation for a medical complaint but how anyone can volunteer themselves to these procedures and risks is beyond me. They must...
