Random musings and general banter.

I like Mermaid Gin (made on the Isle of Wight) too. I like to think I’m watching my carbon footprint as it’s made about 12 miles away

Never tried that one, and it's a bit more than 12 miles away from me, so there goes my footprint. Unless it's found in Tesco

Natalia and Yiannis done a 20 minute presentation of a Molton Brown set, only to say. Something went wrong, and we’ve had to refund.

Now if it ends up being there stock last night, was possibly gone off, the stock the other week would have as well

Saw the beginning of that. They said it was Pink Pepper but the stuff they had was a dark brown, thought it looked a bit odd. When I checked on the MB site it is clearly pink, must be old stock gone off.

So Shop TJC have published their accounts up to End March this year, so figures will include 6 months of the IW channel sales.

So sales increased £4 million from £75 million to £79 million, which is still below the £81 million they did in 2022. Although profit was slightly up on sales, the overall profit was down slightly due to less income from their shares in other parts of the group.

Of course we don't know what the breakdown per channel is and it's was only IW's first 6 months on air, but it doesn't look like IW had any major effect, not the effect i would expect considering the old IW's sales were way bigger than TJCs.
Will be this time next year to see the full effect of the IW channel.

Yet more blankets, and tales of freezing coming up. Christmas is 23 days away, so let's av' a buy of torches. Some sort of a light up gimp mask POD. They don't deserve customers.

I’ve seen people buried in better suits…

Don't forget those people who were 'vampirised' after their best before date

I bought those down pillows for £20 a few weeks back , pretty average despite the down hype. They are OK for the money thats the best I can say.

 

[Ant7t]

Ooo, you NEED those torches. They are Durious.

Not La Paloma Pedro, Di Paloma. I actually bought some of their shower gels for my sister, she said they were lovely. No doubt IW will have acquired some out of date, fire damaged stock from somewhere.

Merry Christmas says Pedro about the torches. Picture the scene Christmas morning - "Here's your present Darling, I've got you a set of torches". Bend over while I shove them where the sun doesn't shine.

And then it will shine. Such a strong light, you'll look like a lighthouse

Vampires usually get extremely edgy with a mirror and some garlic waved at them, and even worse…a cross pointed firmly in their line of sight. Simon reacts in a similar way when the Ideal World Shopping Telly Forum words are uttered in his presence. The other day by Alexis van Helsing…

Those gift sets are £16 from Amazon.

Stuff I bought other week was like that and Galesgal57 bought some as a gift

He's flogging a perfume set, urging us to buy, there's not many left. Then said a quarter of the stock is gone. So that means three quarters remains...

On Saturday in one hour he claimed heaters were going to sell out 21 times, low stock 9 times and limited stock 7 times. Yes I did count them and yes I should really get a life. I was also counting check out your basket and freezing weather ahead but gave up on them as I ran out of paper. Would that be classed as pressure selling?

No ducks were hurt in the making of these pillows!! What did they do, knit them all a suit?
