Wow. Just wow. It looks like a merkin.

If she made a set out of fleece, one patterned with wolves howling at the moon, one with galloping horses and one with leaping dolphins, I'd wear them. All at the same time.

I can't believe IW is still flogging this carp that was out of fashion in the 1990s. I suppose you have to admire Moira C for her energy and enthusiasm, but everything about her screams 1985 - the hair, the makeup, the idea that anyone wears 'blouses' like that any more. As for the twisty...

I'll take the PolloPancho but will probably leave the FannyPancho behind - I don't want to scare the Yanks too much.

No, and I made him stop the demo when he started trying to show me how to do that, saying, sternly "Do you seriously think I'd walk around Romford with it all knotted up like that, young man, and expect to leave with my life?" The Itsacrap is really just the same kind of thing, I suppose...

... I bought a Pollopancho today. In my defence, I'm spending Christmas on a farm in Ohio and then having a few days in New York. I remember when I was there last winter I thought my face was going to freeze off.

I have two pairs, and they're really comfortable, although not very stylish. I've not noticed any difference in toning, but I walk at least two miles a day in them. A neighbour who badly damaged a knee ligament recently bought a pair and said they have made an enormous difference to her knee...

Anyone thinking about buying that 30-second smile toothbrush should read the reviews here. Some of them relate to the shipping policies of the company in the USA, which don't apply here, but there are a lot of reviews about how well (or badly) this gadget performs.

It's on IW right now, with Loen and Paul, selling for £119.99 but on Flexipay. I'm not tempted though.

Wow, these look fabulous. I'm a huge fan of emerald-cut rings and the trilogy Shaun just demonstrated is gorgeous!

I bought a similar thing online (possibly from Thane Direct?) at least ten years ago, called the Thunderstick Pro. I know it's the same sort of thing as the Bamix because I've seen the Bamix at the Ideal Home Show and the Thunderstick has exactly the same interchangeable heads/blades. Mine was...

Momma likes her Bogof bag, because her Tena Ladies and Anusol are so easily accessible in that see-through clip-on pocket.

You lot have no sense of style.

As I sit here I realise that I have no right to criticise Moira C's inventions. You see, today I bought a SnuggleWrap - you know, one of those blankets-with-sleeves things. It was only £3.99, it's as ugly as sin but my God is it warm! I've turned the heating right down. This is probably the...

I was hoping to see red Itsacraps, a red jacket and a white Scar Face draped like a beard for that Instant Santa look that's so on-trend right now.
