Christmas Gift Ideas TSV 23/07/23
I've not even seen them, and I'm underwhelmed.Luxa Set of 2 Twinkling Lamps
That sounds perfect. I look after Fsther and promise myself Christmas at Ragdsle Hall when he is no longer here. For all the reasons you mention.Last year, as there's just the two of us, Mr CC and I stuck Bry in the kennels and booked into Slaley Hall for Christmas. Not cheap but absolutely awesome, everything done for you, no cooking, entertainment laid on, meet nice people, lovely surroundings. When I added up what it cost, it actually cost less than what I usually spend on food we don't eat, presents we don't need, tat to decorate the house, drink that we stock up on and no one visits, clothes that I wont' wear etc. So I won't be buying anything from QVC or anywhere else and yes, we've re-booked for this year. For years I so wanted to be part of those fantasy Q happy families in their adverts but I saw the light.

When she said £5 each I thought that it was a great bargain until I clicked on the product to find that they are £10 each……very misleading.She keeps on saying "Only £5 each (pause) on easypay".
She SHOULD be saying "£10 each".
To be fair, they don't look like your ordinary run of the mill mince pies. I'd be happy to try one if I saw them for sale individually in a bakery/cafe. I would pay up to a fiver but that would have to include the coffee to go with it. If I was going to buy one to take home then I'd not want to spend over £2. Yes I know these are delivered to your home, but including postage, they work out at around £3.86 each which is insane!8 mince pies for £25.00 pounds plus £5.95 postage,switched on switched off pure fakery about Christmas
