    Neom Candles

    I might give them a whirl, especially if they are more subtle than the 'Hedgehog and Bathmat' offerings Yankee are putting out. I used to love the Sunwashed Linen (a fresh, clean fragrance) and Sandalwood (reminded me of the 70's somehow). Both discontinued now, unfortunately.

    Cup Cakes Make Me Vom

    I know they are the in thing, but I've never had one. Are they just like fairy cakes but with a pile of buttercreamy stuff swirled on top? If so, I to have just done a bit of sick in my cheek. (and I loves me sugar, but they look too sickly even for me)

    Automated phone calls

    Tbh, I'd forgotten i'd given Q my phone number....must have been back in the day when I first 'signed up'. Won't be requesting that they 'write' to me on the returns slip again, i'll just keep my eye on my bank account.

    Automated phone calls

    I've had an automated call recently to inform me that they had processed my refund. I'd ticked on the return slip that I wanted them to write to me to confirm when the refund had been processed. My husband picked up the message and I got a fair it of teasing from him as i'd promised to start...

    how often do you clean your carpets?

    We do have a supply of these and I keep a stash in my car. I can count on one hand the number of clients who say that it's ok to use these instead of removing my shoes...not sure why. Usually people ask if i'd mind removing my shoes which gives me the option of saying that i'd prefer to keep...

    how often do you clean your carpets?

    I can't explain why I feel humiliated, I just do! Clients expect me to be dressed in an appropriately smart, professional manner when I am valuing their house so it peeves me when I feel I undermine that dress code by walking round without footwear.

    how often do you clean your carpets?

    I'm an estate agent and absolutely hate it when i turn up at a property and am asked to take off my shoes. I always wear a smart skirt suit and to walk round a strangers house in my stockined feet feels quite humiliating. It annoys me so much that if I know that a vendor has a no shoes policy...

    Returning items

    Stratobuddy posted on 4 Jan 2012 (page 20) a thread entitled 'everything you ever needed to know...' which gave a link to the Martin Lewis website. This site gave me all the info I needed to return an item under DSR. As mentioned earlier, not everything is covered but I should imagine the vast...

    how often do you clean your carpets?

    I clean my living room carpet every 3 months or so but thats mainly because we have 2 adult kids and 2 dogs (and the carpet is very light beige) I clean my stairs and bedroom carpet less frequently. And by less frequently, I mean once in the 4 years we've been here. Dirty girl :confused: In my...

    Appropriate sizes

    I noticed that too, Springflower. The top did the model no favours at all. My figure is similar to that of the model and the size they put on her was so unflattering that it would put me off buying. Another gripe I have is that sometimes when there are colour options, they seem to put the model...

    Burly Bear - Fame at last!!

    Bearing in mind your promise not to bite.....why did you 'rejoin' under a different name? Hope you haven't slipped your dentures back in yet :sad:

    Returning items

    I must admit that I thought i'd have a battle on my hands rainbowdottie so perhaps that's why it came as such a nice surprise when it all went smoothly. Shame it can't be like this for everyone.

    Burly Bear - Fame at last!!

    Sorry to sound dim, but why would a sometimes long standing contributor start posting under a different name? If anyone is kind enough to answer this, i'll probably kick myself for not twigging in the first place but as you won't be able to see my blushes, thought i'd bite the bullet and ask...

    Returning items

    Someone posted on here a while ago about returning items to Q under the Distance Selling Regulations.I wanted to return something that wasn't faulty but that didn't meet my expectations colour wise. After reading the DSR post, I phoned Q up to ask them what to do to return under DSR. The person...

    Julia asking folk to text their 'forename'

    I only had a conversation yesterday with some of my work colleagues about one of them being called 'love' by a window cleaner collecting his money. I can't believe how petty some people are by taking umbrage at things like this. My colleague was annoyed with the window cleaner, but he only meant...

    Best Make up brushes??

    To echo nearly everyone else...Smashbox are great. Had mine for years and they're still as good as the day I bought them. I ordered an eyeshadow palette from them a few years ago that came with a full size blender brush as part of the kit. I think it was only £18 for the eyeshadow trio and brush...

    Fantasy Presenters

    Graham Norton, Alan Carr and Jimmy Carr. They would have to be themselves though, a bit sarcastic and sneery. Imagine them hosting a Quacker or Michelle Hope hour. :clapping:
