shh don't tell anyone

[yorkrose26]

but from 12pm - 1pm 'Christmas in July' show was on!
Sorry didn't want to mention the 'C' word this early in the year, it was bad enough when it was on just on the 25th but now it seems we have to another 'bad import' (in my opinion) from the states over here! Thanks Q!

Oh yeah and bear in mind this was a new 'package' put together for today, the first item has a 'sold out' item! QVC at its very very best!

I am going to boycott all Christmas shows in July.

Hebden Bridge had their actual Christmas on 25th June this year, with presents, traditional dinner etc for 500, etc, etc, because their real Christmas was flooded out. This was on the One Show Wednesday.

Oh, Nooooo!!!I am here wondering where last year's Christmas has gone and you say this year's is just around the corner??:mysmilie_1:

 

[Akimbo]

I hope someone asks on facebook or Twitter whether the Christmas in July items can be returned up to and including the 25th Jan 2017! :mysmilie_852::mysmilie_852::mysmilie_852:

But it is worth bearing in mind if you order some of the lighting tat that's been lurking in Last Clicks since the 2012 January sales, to test it and not leave it until the second week in December to see whether or not it works! (although electrical stuff has 6 month guarantee with Q I think).

 

[shopperholic]

Fibby Flint says and I quote "with QVC anything with a plug on has a twelve month guarantee" mind you she is called Fibby for a reason. :mysmilie_17:

Someone in Q`s warehouse will be blowing the dust off last year`s packs of Christmas gift bags as we speak and in a far flung corner another person will be dragging out half crushed boxes of Christmassy ornaments, snowflake pendants and Wintery named candles. Prepare for demonstrations of an LG clutch bag being strangled in a Giftmate bag , old stock jumpers being stroked by models and us being told they will keep us warm against Winter snowstorms, presenters telling us to buy shapewear cos it will make us feel better if there`s a Christmas flood, lots of chat about cocktail parties or outfits suitable from office to Christmas parties, none of which Mrs Average even attends and the faux excitement of presenters competing with a Flash Pad and Charlie smirking because he`s the winner.
Get ready for overpriced meat which will never arrive and blood oozing demonstrations of undercooked turkey, tough looking chops and pies which look as if someone has vomited in them. I can`t wait !

Hilarious and so true!!!!

 

[Akimbo]

I wonder where all that Xmas meat that "will definitely arrive by 6pm on Xmas Eve" as CS told folk is lying rotting somewhere? Nope, cos it was never sent!

But in spite of last years epic failure there'll be a meat TSV this October, on advanced orders with "guaranteed" delivery in time for Christmas!

Caveat emptor!

 

[Vienna]

Oh and don`t forget the left over initial pendants with almost real looking imitation diamonds but only available in letters U, Z and F but that doesn`t matter because if your grand daughter is called Sophie but she`s just passed her SATS and is off to Uni in 8 years time then you can buy the U pendant and if your school crossing lady is called Betty you can buy her the Z one because in your eyes she`s not just a celeb but a Z- leb which is even more of an accolade in Q`s eyes and of course if your best mate is called Anna then you buy her the F one cos she`s your best F for friend. Sorted.
Also the odd leftover rings sizes come in handy for either skeletal fingers or hands the size of spades. You couldn`t make it up and saddest of it all , are those people chomping at the bit eagerly waiting to buy this stuff.

Yeah but that is kinda understandable given the fact that given the real Christmas last year the weather was extremely nasty!

 

[yorkrose26]

I always find it amazing how many thousands (sometimes more) goes in to the Christmas TV ad's either they have a series with some celeb (last year when PC world ran there's I had to google to find out who the 'star' was), needless to say the name has once again eluded me. Then there are one's like the John Lewis ad's that are around 5 minutes long and tell a story, but still cost a lot of money. Truly we have forgotten the true meaning!

I am going to boycott all Christmas shows in July.

I`ll boycott anything anywhere that even hints at the C word a month before the actual date!! Its my birthday and at my age I definitely don`t want reminding of it 6 months before!!

 

[ERICS MUM]

I don't have my main ('summer') holiday until Nov so I refuse to think about Christmas before then. I go to Florida and do much of my Christmas shopping there - I know, I feel embarrassed at times but what the heck, it's fun !!
