Well the way our weather has been recently the weather that we get in July will probably be akin to the weather we get in December, albeit a degree or two cooler!

So once again it starts... QVC launching Christmas in July as usual with a rubbish TSV. I wouldn't mind if they did the extended return on anything you buy in the Christmas shows (25th of every month then full on from October) but it only kicks in in October... so why bother?

I know I've made the point that for QVC, like all retailers, Christmas is the cornerstone of their financial success and well-being... but it is ridiculous.

Another load of tat.

Another load of tat.

I agree. In fact I`d be struggling to find anything I`d buy from Q as a Christmas present, especially for my grand daughters. If you take away all the beauty stuff they sell, then there`s little else left, just lots of vacuum cleaners, overpriced glass jewellery, clothing brands most people have never heard of or cheap looking tacky but overpriced, house or garden stuff. I bet the charity shops are inundated with unwanted QVC tat come the New Year.

You mean you've never been tempted with one of the many incarnations of this bad boy Vi? http://www.qvcuk.com/Flash-Pad-Air-....704717.html?cm_sp=VIEWPOSITION-_-11-_-704717

The thing is, people buy in the Boxing Day sales to put away for the next Christmas but they don't call it "Christmas In Boxing Day" people also buy all the way through the year spreading the cost but don't call it "Christmas Through The Year" it's just QVC that comes up with that ridiculous title of "Christmas In July" to get people to part with their money, and yes I agree from what I've seen in the past it's just tat, not any old tat though, expensive tat.

Nope never lol

Remember when Mr Christmas used to do all those traditional style musical boxes and the Thomas Pacconi glass tree ornaments. Oh and don't forget all the quirky things Dexter Moscow used to bring as well. Now it just seems all tacky carp, or maybe it was always tacky but presented in a different way.

Don't knock the cooler weather. At present I am battling with 36 degrees. It is a case of going from sun umbrella to sun umbrella which is frustrating as I love to do a lot of walking on holiday.

Not that I'm trying to make you jealous or anything. Just too hot for me.

Christmas in July - another reason not to watch QVC.

I wonder if they will manage to squeeze in a NoNo for the older children.

I read this as those towel things you use to wrap up your hair only these ones light up! Should have either gone to Specsavers or Dragons Den or Q's buying department.

£33 is a lot of money for the cars

I bought an identical one for my son about 3 years ago off of ebay for around £8 with free postage. It still works although he is too old now to play with it.
