I`ve just received some earrings I bought in the sale from this website below. They`re lovely and there are 30 pages of sale items to browse. Everything from gold, silver, diamond, precious or semi precious stone items and all categories from earrings to bangles and so on. Worth a browse and...

Scrolling through my facebook page the other day I saw an advert for "salt and pepper" diamond engagement rings. Out of curiosity I clicked on the jewellers facebook page and she was showing a few of her latest rings. They looked horrible. Dull looking diamonds with lots of black dots in them...

My oldest brother and his wife were married almost 50 years, yes 50 years and as they both approached 70 his wife decided she wanted them to go their separate ways. He was 19 and she was 20 when they married and he was still a student so it was his wife who worked full time as a nurse whilst he...

When I was a child if we ever had an upset tummy my Mum would give us Indian Brandy or Indian Brandee as it was sometimes known. It came in medicine bottles and she`d mix a dose of it with warm water and a bit of sugar and feed it us off a spoon. I liked the taste of it but it appears to be...

I once read somewhere that Coca Cola (not the diet version or zero ) unchilled, no ice and left a few minutes until the fizz dies down, was the best thing to drink if you had a dodgy tummy.

A number of years ago before I met him Mr V was out with his brother in law. As they left the bowling club they were stopped by a couple of men standing by a van in the carpark. One of the men asked them would they be interested in buying a cheap TV which was part of some bankrupt stock they`d...

Happy New Year to everybody. Unlike our last dog our young lab is terrified of fireworks so I ended up sitting up until after 1am with her. Our last dog also a lab never batted an eyelid but the one we have now certainly doesn`t live up to her gundog breed. She`s a big softy in all respects. The...

It reminds me of my oldest brother who as much as I love him to bits, he could teach Scrooge a thing or two. He`s nearly 80 but even in his younger days and when he was still married to his ex wife, he was as frugal as they come, so was she. They moved around a lot with his job and each house...

Yes she was.

A couple of years ago my DIL bought me an Oodie as part of my Christmas present. I thought it the ugliest piece of clothing ever. It turned out to be a godsend and I wear it over my pj`s or when I`m pottering around the house but I go no further than the dustbins in it. This year I`ve been given...

Crikey I remember Old Mother Riley black and white films and her daughter Kitty. How Old Mother used to throw her hands in the air and flounce her apron at the same time. There used to be an elderly lady who lived near us when I was a child and she was the spitting image of OMR even though the...

Seasons greeting to all. Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, may your tummy be well fed, your house be warm, if you`re alone may you not feel lonely and here`s to another year of Shopping Telly Forum.

I worked part of every Christmas Day for 13 years, either an early or a late shift depending on the rota. My brother worked many Christmas Days on duty as a fire officer, my oldest son spent many Christmas Days in war zones as a soldier, my middle son works many Christmas Days as a Police...

Sorry to hear of your loss Catz. My Mum passed away 3 weeks before Christmas over 30 years ago now. I still miss her. The year she died and just after her funeral my dad found everybody`s Christmas presents in the bottom of her wardrobe and he asked me to wrap them. I cried as I wrapped every...

Call me Grinch or Scrooge but I think the whole ritual of buying teachers presents is another thing which should be stopped or scaled back. Many families are struggling to pay their bills and provide for their children but they feel obliged to buy teacher gifts, mainly because they don`t want...

My guests get just a Christmas cracker and are asked to wear the hat at my table so we all look daft together. Table gifts yet another silly money making idea to hit the UK along with Christmas Eve boxes which parents are expected to fill with stuff to keep the kids occupied on Christmas Eve...

My Mum wore cotton floral wrap over aprons with big pockets at the front. I must admit I have a couple of patterned chef style aprons but that`s because I`m a messy cook. I tend to be a bit heavy handed when I`m mixing , chopping or beating stuff and have a habit of decorating the kitchen...

Cyber Jammies do some lovely dressing gowns. Not cheap though. They do all styles and fabrics. https://cyberjammies.com/collections/floral-dressing-gowns-for-women

I really like the Aldi rose facial oil but haven`t seen it on sale for a while. Hopefully soon because I`m on my last bottle.

I`ve had donkey milk soap which smelled lovely but I haven`t used any other donkey milk items. I bet Ebay is as good a place to look for it. Mr V likes a particular Turkish soap which I usually buy in Turkey but we haven`t been there for a few years so I now buy it off Ebay for him. Try browsing...
