I just saw this - I didn't realise it was there 'cause for some reason it appeared under some of her older ones. At least the cocktails were a decent strength (apart from the alcohol free one of course) and I guess worth getting if you don't possess a cocktail shaker and any suitable glassware, but discounting the alcohol free one (worth less than £2 imo) and the can of Emoji (3.50?) the rest of the drinks work out over £5 each. Though I wouldn't mind trying them I'd rather seek out a more cost effective option and choose my own flavours. I'm guessing it's not about the cost it's about the convenience, but why pay extra money to get a plastic cocktail shaker with advertising on the front? It's the sort of promotional thing these companies give away for nothing - eg buy 4 get a free shaker. I'm not knocking it just because Hyacinth bought it, tbh it's a refreshing change to see her receiving something that she'll get some joy out of and that she can share with her old man. I'm sure he'd rather get "knocked out" by a drinking a couple of these than from the scent of a Neom candle burning all night on a ledge above the bed!!!
Oh yes, she said they'd make a nice little stocking filler - she must have bloody big stockings! I wouldn't fancy hanging that from one of those "dodgy hangers" she's just bought, she'd bring the whole bloody wall down!!! Sift n' gift love, sift n' gift!!!
She has an Eastern European accent and I think she said a "funny thing" with the toes. I had a look at the reviews but they only said that the toes weren't right. HOWEVER, what you said and the fact they're a highly shiny reflective boot reminded me of a joke I heard once. A guy used to wear his wellies out clubbing. He asked the girl he was slow dancing with "Are you wearing any knickers?" "No" she replied, "Thank God for that" he said - I thought I'd got a crack in me wellies!"
Oh dear, I think you might be right. Now everyone is going to think I’ve an obsession with fannies or at least the word. I mean, you can see why with the content on Qurio and this forum, but now I’m seeing/hearing it when it isn’t there!
Marks and Spencer do some nice pre-mixed cocktails, I think they're £2.40 each but you can buy a box of four for £9. The mojito is lovely, I add plenty of ice and a slice of lime. They have 2 measures of rum and are 250ml. One of these is my Saturday evening treat
Didn't bother in the end because when I saw the tins they were absolutely tiny despite holding more than the QVC ones, not only that I found out because they're classed as spirit we don't get staff discount, we only get it on beer, cider or wine, so I decided I didn't really want to spend £12 on four tiny little drinks. Makes the QVC ones seem really poor vfm. I think I'll just stock on basic spirits in the run up to Xmas and make my own cocktails. I've got a shaker and a recipe book - much more fun and much more cost effective!
for good old Hyacinth on reaching her 300th review and beyond. She has so much stuff that I don't think she actually knows what she's got, she's just shelled out over £50 on a couple of xmas throws (almost identical to the Cozee home ones she bought last year) and a couple of cushions. She said she's gonna cover the sofa with the plain green one and snuggle up under the festive one when she's watching the Christmas movies - talk about being sold a cliche - Don't forget the hot chocolate and marshmallows will you love? Or the flask of mulled wine in readiness for the carol singers. I've heard she's got some games lined up for the grandkids - "Hunt the thimble" (good luck with that one kids) ok no, "hunt the table" I spy with my little eye something beginning with FW, Postman's knock, pass the parcel, and no party is ever complete without a board game and this year it's "Go for broke"! Don't think those kiddies stand much of a chance, but it's the taking part that counts!
I wondered what the "I spy something beginning with FW" was. And then I rememberedAs we head into the final weeks momentum is gathering. Humping dog lady has gone into hideous polyester overdrive, Erika's promising to bung up some reviews up before it's too late but the overall vibe is the

They said they are closing it to provide us “with an even better experience in the QVC app in the future” so don’t despair, although Q’s idea of “an even better experience” provides quite a broad scope.
