Yes it was awful - Thankfully the poor thing was knocked out cleanly and quickly without being a mangled mess, didn't make it any less sad though. Back to the superstitions, I haven't heard black and red being unlucky since, and I never found out the story behind it. Like Donna's Aunty I have...

You were right! I went to give the tiles another wipe down and the smell nearly knocked me out, so much so that I didn't even want to put it in my washing machine, it went straight in the bin along with the sweaty pouch. I should've taken it out and hung it up but tbh it's too long and wet to...

What my story, or the stupid superstitions I talked of? I'm hoping it's the latter 'cause sadly the story I tell is true and I really wish that it wasn't. Funnily enough I don't buy into the more usual superstitions that are around like walking under ladders, banging your other elbow etc

I think it would be a lovely gift for someone who holidays a lot, however I would say even though it works out as a bargain my circle of friends usually only spend around the £20 mark on each other, unless it's a significant birthday and for those I'd rather give them something a bit more...

It all started when I accompanied my mum as a child to visit the old lady round the corner that she used to run errands for. I remember her giving my mum this brand new apron, it was black with red flowers on it. She explained that she couldn't throw it away but if someone accepted it as a...

I’ve decided that FRKL must be short for “Freakin’ hell” ‘cause that’s what everybody says when they hear the price!

44 years ago I did the same!!!! I had the most sophisticated pair of black satiny pyjamas which were a pair of trousers (obviously) and a lace trimmed camisole top, I bunged a pair of peacock feather earrings in and slapped a pair of black heels on and off to the school leaver's disco I went...

That’s not her - the one on the toilet that is . Very similar looking and sounding though. I thought it was at first. She did do an ad for Olay a couple of years back.

I actually thought that the base necklaces looked like they were made out of plastic! Not on the high street does similar necklaces and bracelets and the 18 carat gold plated ones are all under £30 as they should be, even the solid silver ones are cheaper! What makes me laugh is how these z...

Yes I’m watching and I’m flabbergasted at the prices. All that money for gold and silver plate and the charms are all £50 each and then there’s the postage to pay on top. I’d have loved it back in the 80s but back then I’d have just bought a funky necklace with all the charms on it already and...

I've got the army green coloured one, I love it and it goes with most things, I've got a normal blue denim jacket so I'm sorted thank you! Even if the jackets were reduced down to half price I doubt if I'd indulge as I'd just be buying extra stuff for the sake of it!

They were still charging £30 for a vest top and slightly more for a t-shirt. Yes it is a t-shirt Ruth, you can call it a top if you like but if it quacks like a duck etc! As for Jilly's suggestion "If you can't decide whether you want a pleather biker jacket or a "suede" biker jacket, I'd get...

Did it get collected ok? Hope so!

Not for myself no but coincidentally I was chosen to be Godmother to one of the above mentioned nephews sons. I bought one as a christening gift for him as I found one in a stockist in Cumbria and it had his name and with its keepsake card it was the ideal thing. It was a gorgeous bear too -...

Shut up Jilly - is anyone else watching this? I don’t think I’ve heard anything like it and I watch a lot of QVC.

Each to their own I guess but Jilly has just said the word quick 5 times in the space of 3 seconds - I think I’ll stick with Jackie and her IPad!!! Pressure selling is not nice!

Ruth gets on me nerves but I enjoy watching her and Jackie together. Tonight I’ve tuned into to find she’s on with Jilly H instead and it’s chuffing awful. Jilly is adding absolutely nothing to the show, but not only that her pressure selling is off the scale! I have lost count of how many times...

I forgot to add, it's not as ugly as Katy Pullinger's glasses...FFS woman you're such a pretty lady, so why on earth are you bringing your looks down with those hideous unflattering glasses? "Shoulda gone to Specsavers" - not a blinking joke shop!

Thanks to an unexpected houseguest in the shape of OH's 6'4" heavily built and heavily inebriated nephew turning up on our doorstep with 2 enormous cases and a backpack I needed to retrieve the cube bed from upstairs. He told us that his wife had thrown him out and that he needed somewhere to...

Wow! What a bizzare couple of garments. Starting with the dress, what on earth is that pattern all about? Also why on earth did they not take the pattern right down to the hem? cause the plain bit makes it look even weirder. As for the top, well that is just plain nasty, it looks cheap, it's...
