I like MB but I'm still waiting delivery of L'Occitane tsv !

TKMaxx always have well discounted Osprey- even Ideal World used to have great offers on this brand. I'm over paying silly money for bags now. I've still got Lulu Guinness bags from years ago and I don't go anywhere now to use them !

I've been buying gifts too so it doesn't hit hard in December - when the car insurance, car service and gas bills are due. I've also been spending more with cash too, and found it really helps.

I bought a couple of the long fleece coats with zips and hood (Denim &Co or Centigrade ?) that was the tsv 2 or 3 years ago. I initially bought the red, lost weight so it was too big. They were then reduced so I bought the navy blue , then I bought the black to keep in the wardrobe for...

Advent calendars for adults are the biggest marketing scam in recent years.

I admit I've never been "challenged" as to my childless state or called selfish. Yes it was 'normal' for my generation to have children in the early 20s, but I seriously wasn't fussed, having helped Mum bring up two younger brothers, so I'd had my fill of dirty nappies, shoulder burping and...

Bit like shoes only worn from car to bar. Or dresses only good for standing in. Some clothes are useless for what they are designed for.

I see preloved Evie is on the tele again - promoting The Diamond Box (2nd hand watches etc). Her tentacles are spreading wider. This family owned company is run by the third generation - so is Evie part of it ? Doing a company check it's a couple of Indians (unless it's a different company)

The worse look ever is seeing a bride in a gorgeous gown but all you focus on are the arm tattoos on display. You just can't "unsee" them.

What IS perimenapause? These "new" words leave me floundering. But me and my mates never made a "thing" of it. We might have sat wafting ourselves but we just carried on. Now it's huge business - Davina McCall must be coining it after she discovered it. When my mum was pregnant and many...

Yet another "scandi" marketed range hits the screen. Well, its remarkably like all the other "ranges" on qvc, same style prints and woolies by Kaffe. Scandi is now beloved by marketing gurus, the very word conjuring up simple sophisticated styles with clean lines. Sadly on shopping...

Different world. My mum put me to ballet at 4 years old in the baby class, and when my ankles had strengthened, to tap at 6. The teacher would put shows on at the local theatre and Mum always made sure I had an afternoon nap beforehand. I loved it, the sequin tutus the make up that mum let...

So was Gilly a dancer. QVC the home of retired hoofers - it should register as a charity like Redwings lol !

And THAT sums up today's parents. (Yes I'm generalising - but I see that type every day taking the kids to school)

No children. No regrets.

I normally buy the gents collection for each of my 2 bros for Xmas, but it's top expensive this year.

Precisely Batti, how long DOES it take to wash dry and style these long fake styles. Just watching Lizzie Cundy (I know) spout her nonsense on GBN and thinking she must spend most of her day at the hairdressers or in front of the mirror at home to achieve her "look". Yep, wait til she...

"Dated" ? Very diplomatic.

Well it's very much the fad now, with female newsreaders, presenters and reality wannabees all sporting the same look.

He was very good at the ad lib and quick retort and in his early days of the tv London Palladium and quiz shows there was no-one to touch him,, but he did think he was on a par with the tap dancers in America like Sammy Davis Jnr - but sadly he wasn't.
