Q has discovered the answer to shedding weight!

[loveallthingsitalian]

Have you noticed everything which is in the higher price band they equate to "a daily coffee", a "Saturday takeaway"

Well on the YK hour most things were £150 but since you need to layer, a wearable top is around £250 but it is only the price of a daily takeaway coffee (according to IT & Chuntley )so in actual fact if you do without coffee it has cost you nothing.

I don't know how much a takeaway coffee is but assume about £3 which means you do without for about 80 working days, during which time YK has has about 10 shows so you will never buy coffee again.

Of course the fancy donut/muffin comes into play - more tops to buy. Then the pizza (Dales favourite) buys Lord knows what.

Before you know it you are living on bread and water, have lost 3 stone and have paid all the postage there and back for all the Q stuff you were daft enough to think you wanted!

I'm in!

A medium latte from Costa here in London is £3.55 I think. I stopped buying them because they got too expensive. I'm selling my Audi A1 to get a Porsche Boxster. I bought a cafetiere and the ground Costa beans - which incidentally are on special offer in Sainsbury's at the moment. £2.50 for the refill pack, down from £3.50.

It's like when she says the first easy pay is £31 "whoa! that's a pound a day" well unless they're going to send it out for free and you literally just pay "one pound" per day, then that comment is as ridiculous as her clothes. Also, why call the tops "crinkle" why not just call it for what it is.........."CREASED!"

Oh I'm the opposite I sold my boxster for an A1, my boxster was just that little too small for me. :mysmilie_1: I hope you love it when you get it!

Gosh! We could have swapped! The Boxster is a 2006 model and has only done 33,000 miles. I'm buying it from a woman who used it to drive to and from her tennis club but sadly suffers from ME so has had to give it up. I like the Boxster. It's like my other car - a Daihatsu Copen - just better. Can't afford those expensive lattes anymore though. Am having to make do with a cafetiere.

Mine was a 2002, I am not a fan of those fancy coffees anyways, I generally find them too strong. I understand what Q mean to a certain extent though, I don't spend £££ every day on fancy coffees or packets of cigarettes so it does allow me to indulge in a few extra little luxuries. Maybe I should start drinking those coffees as I'm running out of room for all my handbags :mysmilie_17:

Gah, spend your money however you want to as long as you're not living beyond your means, you only live once, who is Chuntley to tell me not to buy a coffee each morning? (I don't, but it's the principle). I'd rather be high on caffeine than wearing a Yong Kim monstrosity.

I totally concur...

The last few months have been hellish for our family - so live and enjoy, whether it's fast cars, designer bags, exotic trips, fancy coffee, or just chilling out with your loved ones in the pub...

Yes, I think you're right. It seems QVC would do almost anything to bolster their sales, though. Mind you when you think about it those coffees do add up. We have a staff area which includes several restaurants on the 14th floor of my workplace. There is also a branch of Costa coffee there - so I can get them subsidised for £1.10, but even that is expensive really. I don't mind making a few cutbacks to get the Boxster. I like using the cafetiere and everyone else likes it because I can make coffee for them too.

Totally agree!!! I need a trip somewhere exotic, instead I booked Cuba for a friends wedding in May, am really anxious about going there, i hear its really old fashioned and am worried my son will hate every second he's there

Sorry to hear that, PrussianRed. Hope things are a bit better now?
