A few weeks back I posted that as the family like yogurt, I was going to try the kit with 7 packs of yogurt. Well, I've had no luck. It takes nearly 24 hours for it to set and then it's only what I can describe as stringy. I've had four attempts now and have been totally meticulous (practically...

Thanks everyone for all your replies. I left the Greek yogurt in longer, overnight in fact and just looked at it and it's set. I will use the whisk method to even out any lumps before 'cooking', I hadn't thought of that, but from what you say it must be very effective. Warm place, yes, I did...

Can someone please put me out of my misery - I decded to buy an Easiyo kit from QVC because I like to make my own yogurt and thought their method looked quick and easy plus you could do varying flavours. However, I've never had such a failure with yogurt. The first one (the standard Natural...

On the QGossip, Gardening bit of the website, QVC do state lilies are poisonous to cats. However, do cats have a natural aversion to them? I've had lilies beside my front door for a couple of years and never seen a cat anywhere near them. They are scented lilies, so perhaps the smell puts them...

I took the plunge yesterday and bought. There's only 3 of us, but what sold it to me was the fact you can freeze it for an icecream type dessert and they do do an ice-cream version. We are only a family of 3, and dh and dd love yogurt. I've made homemade yogurt from scratch quite a lot recently...

I've got a rotary cutter and guillotine combined - bought it a couple of years ago from Aldi for £14.99. It's not flashy (navy and grey) but it does have the thing to hold the paper down. It doesn't have fancy blades. I don't think the TSV was a bad price, it was very nicely put together, but...

I can see why QVC would have this policy - but I don't see how on some things you can avoid high returns. For instance clothes and shoes, you may have a few returns just to get the fit, and then add in that the TV colour is not quite what you get and that can add to the returns list. Then there...

Just to say, the hangers arrived and they are good - they seem a bit sturdier than the grip-to-me type. The order was complete and undamaged. So I'm pleased - I was dreading ringing CS.

My current steam mop has given up the ghost, and I think they've probably improved since I bought it. So can anyone recommend the power steam mop which IW are pushing at the mo? It's the one with the triangular head, which I quite like for going into corners. Also like the idea of the carpet...

Many thanks everyone. I have a few of this type of hanger dollydimple and decided to go mad and buy a load for the three of us, because I really like the ones I have. Mia, if this is typical IW, why don't they just say so? My delivery date of 1st Jan was daft, I wasn't even too worried when...

Many thanks from me too. I only want to know if my goods are going to arrive sometime soon - if they say another fortnight, I don't mind - it's just my delivery date is still saying 1st Jan.

I'm pretty much in the same position as Calico. My delivery date online is 1st Jan, but then it says awaiting stock (delivery date has not been updated) and it's nearly mid-Jan and still nothing. Trouble is I hate calling IW - I've always felt like I'm saying "could you tell me when I can expect...

Believe it or not this was not an impulse buy on 26th December - I had been looking out for a good deal on these for a while. So I placed the order and today I've just looked on the account which said the estimated delivery date was New Year's Day. This was patent rubbish, but it's 7th today...

Thanks Snoopy. Now I have to phone QVC and whine for a free return for a faulty product. I hate the returns routine. Does the return show up on your account nowadays?

Do NOT buy the Panasonic combined HDD/DVD Recorder/VHS which was a TSV about 2 years ago if QVC should still have some in stock or you see it elsewhere. The instruction book is very, very hard to follow (so be suspicious of any Panasonic HDD/DVD recorder). DH is an electronics engineer and so...
