I like Claire too, she seems like a gentle person and nothing wrong with that. I think her hair is gorgeous but agree that the heavy black eye liner does nothing for her - or for anyone really. I always think it makes everyone's eyes look small and mean like a crow!

Ali has announced in her blog that her baby granddaughter has arrived safely, mother and baby doing well. Lovely news and wishing the whole family lots of happiness. Ali must have wondered at times if she would be here to see this day so doubly precious.

I have the small facial one that QVC sell and it's really useful for top lip etc although I have a full size one for everywhere else (I'm not that hairy, honest!). I wouldn't use an epilator on my eyebrows though cos it's just not precise enough for shaping. I pluck mine but my daughter has hers...

Thanks for posting that link Vienna. I've just ordered the large beach bag in the sale with an additional 20% off and free p&p! Been looking for the right one for ages so thanks again!

Can someone just remind me how we know that the crown went to someone at QVC for £1000 please? I can remember the incident but not the details. Maybe the Charities Commission would be the appropriate organisation to contact to investigate the incident?

Great thread, really taking me back. Anyone remember the Wish Pearls (I think they were called?) where you got your very own dead mollusc to dig around in to find the pearl which you then put in it's little caged pendant - used to make me gag at the thought. Also the touch lights, they used to...

Glad they mentioned it. Jackie K has a nice little tribute in her latest blog too.

Gordon Bennett! Did it actually DO the ironing for you?!!

I really like Jackie Kabler! In fact she's become one of my favourite presenters now, I find her articulate and informative and ready to have a laugh. Don't remember ever seeing her present news so can't comment on that. I also think she is one of the best dressed of the presenters and always...

I saw that and I agree it was a really strangely awkward little moment. Actually it did make me wonder if maybe Chloe is gay but didn't particularly want to mention it at that moment? I've never heard her talk about a partner of either gender so I really have no idea but it was just a thought?

Well isn't that interesting that Alison has stopped using Revitalash, didn't she say why? I've used it for a couple of years and honestly have got incredible results with it. It's just so expensive so I recently started using Joan Collins' Class Act lash treatment which is about £16 or...

For me a good book has nothing to do with genre and all to do with the quality of the writing. I read masses of diverse stuff including some chick-lit. I just try to be discerning and choose excellent writers such as Lisa Jewell and Maeve Binchy cos there are a lot of books out there, my reading...

Totally agree. I have inadvertently downloaded some absolute self published trash on to my kindle which I have very swiftly had to delete off again. There is a reason why these writers can't get published and it's cos they write to about the standard that most of us who are literate and have a...

To be fair, on the presentation I saw this morning they did say that the utensils were very high quality and had a lifetime guarantee. Still wouldn't persuade me though if I didn't already have a Kitchen Aid (which I love and use a lot). Do the utensils only come in red? Wouldn't work in my...

Have just ordered from Lakeland, spent an extra fiver on a couple of bits and got free p+p plus a free box of chocs worth 7.99!! Outstanding customer service from Lakeland too.

Just had a look at the accessories that they have for the Kitchenaid cos I'm after the Flex Edge beater and thought I might use my easy pay code. £40.50 + 2.95 delivery!! Lakeland have it for 29.00 + 2.99, a huge difference. Love the review that rates it but didn't buy from QVC and advises you...

I got mine, just finished the last of easy pays for Christmas :mysmilie_13: so could be tempted especially as it's for three easy pays on a whole order. Just can't think of anything I actually want at the moment. Valid until 16th April though so will hang on to it for the moment.

Didn't see but presuming an April Fool?!!

Bet loads of you will remember this ad from way back. A very young Claire somersaulting athletically to the top! I remember her talking about this years ago and saying how scared she was cos she actually did it for real, no special affects, very athletic...

Richard Jackson used to have a weekly gardening programme here in the South. This was years ago, probably in the 80s. He also used to write regular columns for Gardener's Weekly magazine and has also co written several gardening books. He was a perfectly nice ordinary gardening 'expert' in those...
