I didn't see that show and i'm glad I didn't! I can't stand watching anyone cooking with their hair dangling over the food (as an avid Come Dine With Me fan, this happens loads.) Makes me shout at the screen too brissles; we are two saddo's together I reckon. I bought a mushroom stroganoff...

Oh no Moth, that's another one i've got to aspire to! Makes M&S seem a bit low rent now (especially as the latest ones have pictures of fish on 'em-eeeewww!)

I aspire to getting a Waitrose carrier bag Gemma1, i'd strutt round with it like it was a Lulu Guinness or sommat!

I feel the same way as you ILC. I don't buy that much from Q now but i've recently bought a Kelly Hoppen bedspread. I told my MIL that I got the bedspread from the internet...don't know why but I think she wouldn't have complimented it if she'd have know where it really came from! I must have a...

I ordered a KH bedspread a few weeks ago. I was really impressed with the quality and price....having scoured all the usual haunts (debenhams, John Lewis etc all asking about £90+) decided to risk buying from Q website. Glad I did as it looks really good. Might add a few more pieces over the...

Noooo HoodedClaw, that made me gip! Nearly put me off my spaghetti hoops on toast (but not quite)

I don' t think he's sad, I think he's playing hide and seek and while he's counting, he sneezes and a little bit of snot flies out.

Why don't you like 'em, janie?

I do remember snow wash but do you remember the jeans that had red piping down the outside leg? They went a treat with my Hazel O'Connor style baggy shirt.... Feeling all nostalgic now, especially when C&A was mentioned in an earlier post (although I did always get a static shock in that shop...

Blimey frou-frou, that's taken me back! We had one in Birmingham too. I remember shopping there for my Costa del Sol holiday and couldn't believe how much stuff I got for my £22.50 (or what ever the YTS weekly wage was in the eighties) I think the Brum version was called "'what everyone wants"...

Thanks for the link Spottybotty......it gave me a good laff. I do like Debbie, she seems quite down to earth and normally sneaks in a few witty one liners during her presentations. By the way, are Q doing an outtakes montage this year does anyone know? They must have enough material to come up...

If you've got a Matalan nearby, Capirossi, they do their own version of L&L. Can use it in the freezer and dishwasher and it's a lot cheaper too.

Hi JuliaHam! As a relative newcomer to this forum myself, i'd like to say hello and welcome! I'd been a lurker for a while but took the plunge and signed up a few months ago. I'm sure you'll enjoy offering your opinion or commenting on threads already started. I think there was a thread a...

Don't you think that they swap their sales patter depending on what they are flogging? I bet if CH was presenting a cashmere hour, she'd be saying something like "you can't beat the feeling of the genuine article". Shame that she put you in a panic Erics Mum, i'm sure your Mum will be thrilled...

I'm neutral in the 'love Julia/hate Julia' debate that rears its head frequently on this forum. What I will say is that I think it's really mean to bash someone for their appearance. There are various posts giving forth about not falling for the hype of skincare and haircare brands promising...

I liked the look of the bedding too, it was good to see something that looked decent quality without a hefty pricetag. Didn't really rate the bedside lamps though and they did seem expensive for what they were. (seen better in Dunelm!) The designer came across as really nice, not snotty and...

Totally agree Bensmum. I usually put QVC on for a bit of background noise whem i'm ironing but I can't bear her talking at 100 miles an hour and gigling like she's on a date! Couldn't stand it even as background noise so turned over to listen to Pavers instead.....much more bearable ( and that's...

I have nothing against people being successful in lots of areas if the talent is there so I agree with OP and BurlyBeaR....Twiggy cannot sing but was an icon of the sixties with her modelling. Not sure why famous people think that if they are good at one thing they must be good at everything...

They are obviously working through the obligatory list of suggested uses for their products: toiletry bag, mummy on the go bag, evening bag, prawn ring fom Iceland bag.....I wonder if anyone has ever bought a product to get the 'free' bag after hearing one of the presenters suggestions.

Ha! I do like me Tenas and 'equipment' to be kept nice 'n discreet so maybe I should be jumping to the phone! Thanks for your ( accurate ) suggestions Gemma 1 and Loveinamist x
