Did anyone like the contents of their mystery bags? Chloe was selling them with promises that they were all going to be good stuff, every one containing a 50ml Argan oil plus a scarf and a piece of jewellery, and she showed lots of examples of what was going to be in them, all very acceptable...

I received a package from TJC today which puzzled me as I hadn't ordered anything, opened it and inside was a pretty little silver charm of a spoon with a lobster claw fastening and a Valentine's card. Somewhat late, but I was really pleased. I wonder if every customer got one.

Here's what happened next. I was sent a new authenticity card showing the weights exactly as advertised and I accepted this, although still with a niggling feeling that the tanzanite looked smaller than I expected, but it's difficult to compare carat weights when the cuts are different , and...

Result! Got an e-mail to say the authenticity card was probably wrong and they will send a new one, then had a phone call to arrange for the ring to be collected for an assessment. I'm happy with this, it will settle any doubts.

I bought a "One to own" on tanzanite day, shown as being a ring with one carat of AAA tanzanite and 0.53 of diamonds. When it arrived. it was certainly a beautiful ring and the invoice showed the details as they had been on screen, BUT the authenticity card showed that the tanzanite was only...

I've used Protocol capsules for a long time and have been waiting for another POTD, but have a horrible feeling that it's not going to happen. I saw that they were selling collagen capsules by Elizabeth Grant, but I don't want to get these as they contain added vitamins A C and E and I already...

What's your opinion of Spectrum Noir pens? I bought them a few days ago and have used them with the recommended paper and already one, a green one DG2, has run out of ink after about 3 square inches of coverage. I also find them terribly difficult to open---O.K.,I've got arthritic hands but even...

I saw the show for Eternal Silver watches and wondered if anyone has any experience of this brand. They looked lovely, simple and classic but looks don't always mean good quality. I looked on the net but could only find one stockist, and the makers website showed prices about twice those charged...

The last lot of plants I had were dreadful. It was a POTD with fuchsias, upright and trailing begonias and million bells. It didn't arrive and after several weeks I contacted customer services---India of course---who said ring back in a week. Blow that! I e-mailed them instead and eventually a...

I tried to buy some more M.Asam Day and Night cream from IW (it's wonderful ) but got the message up to say it was no longer being sold. I was so disappointed as several friends had asked me to get some for them as well. Anyway,I e-mailed M.Asam and got a very nice reply back straightaway to say...

I love my halogen oven and use it all the time.I don't find I need a cookery book for it,just use it at the same temperatures as a normal oven.With most dishes, you can tell by looking through the glass when they are done .I find I mostly cook at the 200 setting and things seem to take about the...

I've used Eureka on the car--very good but don't do it when the sun is full on the car or it's hard to buff it up. On windows it's absolutely brilliant,gives a lovely shine and there are none of those annoying smeary bits when the sun shines on the window. I've tried it on a greasy hob and it...

Brilliant! I haven't got Sky and had to watch Create and Craft in tiny format on the computer so this will be great.

I bought the earlier version of this and it was quite slow in coming,but there was a letter of apology included and two free packets of mixed salad leaves as compensation.The potato plants are enormous by now and nearly ready for cropping---can't wait to see how much they have produced. I've...

Plants You don't have to buy from IW. They are supplied by Garden Bargains who have their own website.
