I can't believe that they're trying to tote this as a garment that can be worn outside the house to run errands, even to go on holiday - It's called a housedress for a reason as in it should never see the light of day! OH had an aunt who was pretty much housebound, as did my one of my...

I’m most definitely a reformed character now - thank God! The scarf lace addiction ( and I’m still asking myself why) was probably the worst it got but yes I bought myself a coat I liked and cause it was a bargain I bought it in 3 more colours and seldom wore them as the only one that suited me...

I know mine struggled due to the size of the motor and the size of the blades, then of course my machine isn't really designed for tasks, however it produced ice cream that was no better than yours and that's really annoying because there are absolutely no excuses as to why the Ninja (it only...

I hope so for you - They're quick enough to take your money!

Here's an update on the ice cream. Well I've been out for a few hours and returned to the freezer to find ice cream I'd put into the lock n'lock had frozen solid. I managed to loosen it round the edge with a knife and managed to break it down and put it back into the blender...It struggled a bit...

I came across a recipe for dog ice cream on facebook this morning, and the ingredients were 2 ripe bananas, a dollop of Greek yogurt, a couple of spoons of peanut butter and a splash of water. Put it into a blender then transfer the mixture into an ice cube tray and freeze. Well I'm thinking...

Spot on! Looking at some of Brenda Edward's monstrosities, they remind me of when Avon started doing Jewellery back in the 70's which mainly consisted of knuckle duster rings made from base metal, and other similarly clumsy looking pieces usually set with very obviously fake rhinestones. I'm...

I can't say that I do. My first memory of flatpack furniture was M.F.I (affectionately known as Made For Idiots) I don't have any experience of trying to knock it together myself as I was too young but I have a vague memory of my dad buying a nest of tables and the plans and bits and bobs...

I agree but in this instance I think the whole set looks cheap possibly the bangle alone would look ok but the other two bits look like something you'd find in a Christmas cracker or a jamboree bag! Definitely doesn't look £40's worth and if you were to pay full price it would amount to nearly...

Lol! I was taught turn to the right - screw it up tight, turn to the left to unscrew it! I'm completely the other way there I have dogged determination and I will not allow myself to be defeated hence it taking 3 hours or more to build something that should've been finished in less than one...

I think in this day and age flatpack furniture has come on quite a lot and as I said before a lot easier to assemble. The stuff we were given was basically chipboard with Formica sheets stuck to it, and even if you did manage to build something that resembled the picture on the front of the box...

I used to buy a lot from old IW until they turned into a gent's watch channel and turned their website into an absolute jumble sale. I bought the bike box they were always selling and that was a good buy cos it stores away behind the sofa, but I rarely use it, but I know it's there if I fancy...

I just don't know how I could've been so crazy. It wouldn't have been quite so bad if you could pick 3 scarflaces of your choice to get the saving, but the packs were already chosen for you, so if I saw two scarves I liked and they were in different sets I'd buy both sets in order to get the...

As usual I was on the mission of streamlining the junk in my home, after my flatpack nightmare mentioned in my recent thread I emptied the drawers of my old plastic chest that was doubling up as a bedside table so I could better utilise it. I managed to clear it down to next to nothing and then...

That sounds divine, but when you do that does the cloth feel wet, mildly damp, or just cool? The one I used just felt wringing wet, tbh I'm not keen on having damp fabric next to my skin but wet and cold (not cool) cold - get it off me now! Did I over wet it? I wrung it out to with and inch of...

How absolutely ridiculous!

That is a really good point! In my experience, you can read scores of 5 star reviews, some of which tell you no more than the blurb on the packet or have repeated what the sales person has said. There's more to be learned by reading the lower starred reviews because more often than not...

I checked out reviews on Amazon.

I think that's a wise decision and I'm so pleased they've agree to collect it. You could be right about the studio temperature giving it a helping hand, but I think with some of these demos there's often more "helping hands" than we get to see, and of course we're seeing demos done by BA's...

Stratto, just reading Sazza's post it's got to be massive 15kg to qualify for collection, and I'd imagine that the outer packaging wouldn't make up that amount and thinking about it the item I returned wasn't from QVC and I don't think I had to phone and speak to someone, I just filled in an...
