I believe Grouse was referring to the days when children were sent up chimneys to clean them as they were small enough to do the job.

Most people accept that women through their biology need more heat. I've been chronically anaemic since my teens and needed an iron infusion earlier this year. The only time I've needed to take layers off and not needed the heat on was the brief time before I went on HRT. By the time I got the...

I find Jilly watchable. She's not overbearing or aggressively pushing sales. She's guilty of over-using phrases as they all are. She does it in a 'nicer' way, though. Flinty on the other hand is very pushy. The way she looks at the camera while telling viewers they 'need' an item or 'get it...

Watchable presenters, too.

I put seed out for the birds. The finches are notorious seed-flingers! The dunnocks are like little hoovers under the feeders, though. A relief as I don't want rats here. Our neighbours are a bit dirty. They put dog and cat food outside the back door and just leave it there. They top it up...

Hence the canaries kept in coal mines. However, I came across several very interesting consultants during my time in the NHS. One lung specialist I worked with hated people keeping birds indoors due to psittacosis transmission. I lived in a coal mining area at the time. The specialist would...

I have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and am allergic to a LOT of chemicals. Several well-meaning friends have told me about Yuka but I can't trust it as it builds information from users not trusted sources. My skin reacts if I smell things like candles, air fresheners and cleaning products. It...

Thanks, Tori, Andy and Strato. I went off and read the reviews before you replied, Strato, and quickly went off the idea. Any ideas what I can use? I can't use solar as it's a shaded all day. I use crutches so fibbling around with those while trying to use my phone for light is a bit of a...

I gave CH a try with the very first set they had and haven't looked back. I was having awful night sweats and unable to sleep without turning every 45 minutes due to pain. My lovely supima cotton sheets were rucking up under me and were so wet, heavy and cold I couldn't get to sleep if I got up...

No! Get a cheap one from Amazon (under £8). Mine takes three of those teeny batteries stacked on top of each other. I've had mine for almost a decade, used it a few times a week and replaced the batteries once. It's not glamorous or gimmicky but it works and was cheap. You'd probably only end...

Yoohoo, Strato! The Bell & Howell set of 5 lights, item 728984. Any good? I don't need floodlight strength, just enough light for me to open a gate latch after dark. Thanks.

Oh well.

AY is the wrong age to lose a lot of weight a the elasticity has gone from her skin. Orange turnip, err, Trump is repulsive enough. Can you imagine him pasty white?! Famous charismatic men throughout history have mostly turned out to be power-hungry wrong 'uns. Turnip is out for himself but...

Don't bother. I have typical menopausal thinning. My nephew bought one for his thinning hair then gave it to my sister after he had a hair transplant. My sister used it for months with no improvement so passed it on to me. I persevered for a year with absolutely no difference. Save your...

I don't really care how they sound as long as they're a good and thorough presenter who doesn't come out with stupid comments, talk about their families or other irrelevant-to-the-item crap or talk over BAs. I would also like all the presenters to wear QVC clothes. Am I looking for unicorns?

I like the cream and use it daily as it's so easy to use. Nice texture, neutral fragrance, doesn't pill on me. It does make a bit of a difference to the way the skin looks and feels. I've never tried the serum so this TSV will only go in my basket if the serum is almost a freebie.

I noticed on the presentation that when the model (Debra Anne?) put her foot on the insole it was overhanging a little. For a company priding itself on foot health it's not a good look. Surely instead of the standard foot shape (not foot shaped at all really but designers obviously feel we...

Does anyone have a drawstring makeup bag? Originally made by the Flat lay/Lay Flat company but I have seen a Tili version as well as countless knock-offs on Amazon. They're rather good as you can undo the drawstring and lay the whole thing flat on a top or bed. The drawstring forms a little...

I deleted all my old email addresses after moving to Gmail back when they were invite only. I have a few addresses and use the forwarding function to a 'spare' address for important stuff. I use the haveibeenpwned site monthly to check if any have fallen foul of scammers then change anything...

Can you ask for a refund?
