    Jumping to the phone... and other phrases you hate

    I've trained myself (proper use of the reflexive pronoun there, presenters please note!) to think of this as an endearing quirk so that I don't shout at the telly like a mad thing. I haven't yet managed to stop shouting at the telly when Andrew from Exmoor Foods says this. I think that Craig is...

    Calling Debbie Greenwood !

    In Quacker Factory hours, perhaps? ;)

    Am I the odd one out with L'Occitane

    I love the shea range, especially the milk soap, the lavender liquid soap (I save a few pounds by buying the refill sachets in store), and the solid shea butter. I can't get on with Lush at all. I have to cross the road when I approach one of their shops, otherwise my eyes start to water, my...

    2 Superb Shows

    Yes, I like the guest who seems to be standing in for chef Paul, too. She's done a couple of the Tefal hours recently and is very watchable. Loen and Andy are always entertaining when they're co-presenting.

    Pupa Mascara

    Max Factor False Lash Effect, the Maybelline yellow one (can't remember the name, sorry), and for daytime lashes that are lengthened, defined, but not overdone Miss Sporty XXL from Superdrug. Doesn't smudge, doesn't budge and only £2.99! Spookily, an ad for the Maybelline one's just come on the...

    Does Jill Franks actually think before speaking??

    But he reputedly had plenty *ahem* downstairs :o.

    Loen love

    I've said it before, Loen is probably my fave presenter on IW or QVC. I also think that she's very pretty. However, I think that her hair will look better in a month or so, when it's grown a bit.

    Lime tree Pantry

    Then I'll just have to buy one next time I'm at Mum's and report back to you!

    Lime tree Pantry

    I've never tried them, LEL, but I do agree that they look nice and home made. I just wanted to ask if you have any farm shops near you? All of the ones near my Mother in Lincs stock Lime Tree Pantry pies and you can just buy one pie, rather than having to commit to half a dozen in a QVC pack. It...

    Keep, cull or retrain...

    I love Loen, but she might insist that Andy comes, too.

    Keep, cull or retrain...

    I forgot Anthony. I'd add him to my 'keep' list, but with the caveat that he never, ever be allowed to present Northern Nights with Susie Adams.

    Get him off !!!!!!!!!!

    Will somebody please tell him that if someone makes you 'think twice' about something it means they have put you off it. It does NOT mean that you are twice as likely to buy!

    Keep, cull or retrain...

    Am I right in assuming that 'retrain' means that they remain a presenter, but get help to address their shortcomings? If so, my lists would be Keep: Debbie Simon Charlie Jilly Julian Pipa Cull: Jill Anne Craig Alison K Catherine (I actually feel a little bad about this one, but I just can't...

    Grip to me hangers - Do they work?

    I find them very good for jumpers and jackets, as they bend down further at the ends (if that makes any sense) and so can't cause shoulder bumps.

    No postage paid!!!!

    Me, too. And when it happened, they phoned me up and updated my details to my new card. Much better than a nasty letter and, to add insult to injury, making you pay the postage. They must've changed their policy in the last 2 years - and not for the better.

    Just what a thing to say !!!!

    My take on Julia's remark - and remarks of that ilk - is quite different. If I may use a personal example; I have Jewish ancestors who had to flee the pogroms in Russia, and who died in the holocaust during WW2. Now if I hear, say, somebody referring to a traffic warden or a minor official as a...

    Grip to me hangers - Do they work?

    Yes, I've managed to snap all of the over the door hooks by overloading them. Not broken any of the hangers yet, though and I must've had them a good couple of years. In fact, I don't think the hooks are very useful, as you can't close your door with them on. The hangers are great, though.

    Just what a thing to say !!!!

    Why? There's absolutely nothing within that expression that, either explicitly or implicitly, condones slavery. Quite the reverse, I would have thought.

    Grip to me hangers - Do they work?

    Another fan here. i'm slowly migrating my whole wardrobe over to 'grip to me' and, as other FMs have said, recently noticed that you can get them in TKMaxx at a good price for smaller sets. The ones in there also have 'snicks' for hanging skirts, which the ones I got from QVC don't have.

    Underused words/phrases on QVC

    That's dress size 8/10/12/14 etc. to you and me. Or: That of course is the garment measurement. To work out which size you need to buy, measure round the fullest part of your bust/hips and add x inches. That way you'll avoid expensive p&p charges returning a garment that doesn't fit, or...
