You know you're a QVC addict when ...

[silversequin]

when you are on a multi-agency week long training course and the women sat next to you in the workshop whispers "did you get those rings from QVC?" You and she then get together at each coffee break and lunch to discuss bargains, disasters, favourite presenters etc. Training course now becomes totally fascinating as you have found a soul mate!

 

[Artemis]

I know my wife is addicted to Create & Craft - she talks back to the presenters, as if they can hear her :sad:

I talk to Dawn Bibby all the time along the lines of~

'oh for heaven's sake stop moaning, you stupid bint. Why are you always ill and why do we have to be told about it. J.J. muddled the cards deliberately because he's fed up of being your lackey. Are you sleeping with the owner of Kanban?'

 

[Artemis]

You put QVC on big screen at work and when the customers ask for the football to be put on, you look sad and explain that the system has malfunctioned and QVC is the only channel available......:blush::blush:

You press the red active button around 7am to check the Bargain section to see if there is a beauty selection you may have missed even though you don't NEED anything and then curse when you discover there was a bargain that you would have ordered, discover it has sold out and that you were awake at midnight the night before when it was probably in stock!
beauty junkie? me?....no :blush:

This is a great thread, and a eye opener!! And I thought I was bad!!!
All I do is to make sure that the forum and QVC web sites are the first ones I open every morning when I switch on my pc... :tongue2:

 

[worrier]

When you have qvcuk.com, set as your home page on the pc. (Mine is Shoppingtelly.com by the way).

 

[Bling It On]

Your cable box is permanently on channel 740!
You never bother to check your bank account as you know it's empty!
There's at least one (if not more) QVC item in every room of the house!

Anyway, I must go now as I might be missing something important on QVC!

 

[loveheart]

You sneak out of bed at midnight to order the TSV.
You watch all the beauty shows although you are stocked up to the hilt with every product they show.
you wait for the postman to arrive, so you can hide your parcels at the bottom of your wardrobe so no one finds out you have been ordering.
you tell your OH that the parcel that has just arrived, when he catches you out, has been on waitlist for ages.
you have more makeup than a make up artist.
I am thinking of starting another thread entitled ,' How I know I am no longer a QVC addict'.

You can't be that addicted if you are watching channel 740!!!!

You can talk knowledgebly about:

Lock and Lock
Cleanse and Polish
Yankee Candles
A variety of gem cuts
Various ranges of skin care and cosmetics that your friends are unaware exist

These were all closed books to me until QVC, now I could go on Mastermind and have mascara as my specialist subject

You'll NEVER BELIEVE how excited I was to discover a Supermarket here had started to sell Lock and Lock. I mean, we can't buy ordinary everyday things we were used to in the U.K. so it's amazing. I went quite weak at the knees - and bought loads! No P&P, either.....

Am I sad?

 

[fletchie]

I have even set my alarm clock to wake me up at midnight if there has been a TSV that I must have....

You are not alone. I used to do this in the good old Molton brown Philosophy and L'Occitane days. I used to sneak out to phone, before we had a computer and I would whisper down the phone. OH thought I was either having an affair or barking mad. It was the latter I'm afraid.

I've got cable TV (Virgin Media) NOT Sky hence my cable box being permanently on channel 740 which is the cable channel for QVC.

Oh. Ok then, you ARE an addict. I'm not sure if that should make you feel better or not......:grin:!!!!

 

[silversequin]

You have a make up collection that a posse of drag queens would die for!!

 

[rainbowdottie]

yes I'm a 740 as well!

 

[Jabbathehut]

when you subscribe to the ENTIRE SkyHD package and cant find anything else that you want to watch

 

[fletchie]

Thank god i wasn't alone, I used to use Qcut to avoid the other half hearing me and thinking i was up to no good (which i wasn't!)

Why oh why is there nothing to get excited about these days? I would love the the thrill again of sneaking out of bed and watching QVC until 2am if only there was anything worthwhile sneaking out of bed for!

I used to have an additional sky box in the bedroom and i would say to hubby i was going to bed, do the usual yawn, i'm so tired etc, but then secretly have QVC on almost silent to avoid being caught out, it really was my dirty secret!! However, my marriage has recently ended but i've still got QVC!!

It's the whispering down the phone - I did that so many times, and also ordering on Q-Cut and then phoning customer services to check that your order has gone through you are that excited/keen to get it!
