I would like to recommend the Fogarty factory shop, which is based in Boston, Lincs. I was introduced to this shop 30+ years ago, by a friend who hailed from Boston, and over the years I have bought from them many times. On Friday evening I purchased online an 'all seasons' (10.0 + 3.5 togs)...

Sad to read in the news today that Mrs James' alter ego has passed. It did bring back some happy memories though, of jolly japes on this forum in times gone by!

Anyone got one of these? Opinions on effectiveness would be welcome. We have hard flooring throughout the ground floor - a mix of tiles & laminate, plus tiled floor upstairs in bathroom - and a very hairy, muddy dog, so this gadget looking very tempting indeed and the QVC price seems rather...

Was this guy!

I was out and about yesterday; made a nice change. It was also a baking hot day. I saw a lady wearing a rather nice Carole Hochman maxi nightie, as a dress. She also had a made exclusively for QVC Kipling bag, and was wearing the TSV basket weave Skechers. Never really noticed anyone in QVC...

Interesting article in the papers today about so called 'once a day' application sunscreens, including P20, Ultrasun, Boots Soltan & Piz Buin. We've discussed before that many of us don't feel they are truly 'once a day', and it seems we were right - as usual...

Sorry, this is a bit long winded, but I'm so flaming mad!! :mysmilie_10: About three weeks ago I ordered a replacement part for my oven. It's an old-ish oven, and apparently the part is now obsolete, but I found what seemed a reliable small company that had it in stock, so ordered and paid by...

I have such exciting news! After >20 years of pleading, nagging, whining, blackmail and various other subterfuge, Mr L finally cracked and agreed I can have a puppy! I went to choose him yesterday. A beautiful Blue Roan Cocker Spaniel. He won't be ready to bring home until mid June. I'm...

I've already posted this on another thread, but I think it's worth posting here too, just in case some of you don't know about this 'Fast Track' service now available from Argos.. I ordered a couple of bulky items from Argos the other day - an electric heater and a memory foam mattress topper...

On holiday at the moment, in a rather smart resort. The bathroom is generously loaded with Aesop toiletries, which are absolutely divine! (And may accidentally be coming home with me!) They are an Australian brand, headquartered in Melbourne, but I've been looking online and they have shops in...

When did a 'Court shoe' become a 'Pump'? :mysmilie_51: Pumps, to me, will always be the smelly black canvas things worn for PE. Am I just old?

I don't wear make up, unless I am going out somewhere. I don't like the feeling of a face full of slap and I saw this BB cream being talked about, and wondered if it might be a good choice for me, what do you think? I'm getting on for 60 and feeling like I ought to make a bit more effort with...

Sorry, I know this has been discussed all over the forum, but I did a search and could find any posts. I ordered something this morning, an hour later I phoned to change the size and was told my order is already in the warehouse and cannot be amended. What are my options please? I want to avoid...

I ordered some items from Amazon yesterday at 15.21 hrs. Selected free 'super saver' delivery, and they arrived at 13.25 hrs today. :clapping: QVC take note.

A while ago, someone posted a link to a website selling French soaps, which were very similar to L'Occitane's stuff, and apparently they had very good customer service too. I seem to think that the owner of the website posted on here a few times too. I could have sworn I'd bookmarked the...

Just a few examples of how QVC's Ultrasun prices compare with those at Ifsogo Do check them out before purchasing Ultrasun, they are very reliable and have fast, free delivery on everything. Ultrasun Family SPF 30 400ml QVC price £45.50 + £4.95 P&P Vs Same item, Ifsogo price £39.89 and FREE...

Does anyone have an opinion on whether these work for post menopausal thinning hair? Alpecin and Plantur 39 are the ones I've seen on offer. My hair has always been baby fine and not very abundant - it was never my crowning glory, even at it's best, but since the menopause it has gone very...

Hi all :wave: I am off to the USA on holiday next week, woohoo! I got an ipad at Xmas and am pretty impressed with the simplicity and user friendliness of Apple technology so, finding myself in the market for a new mobile phone, I am thinking of buying an unlocked iphone whilst I'm there (as...

Hi all, long time no see! Although I have reformed my former spending habits, I do look in occasionally to see what you're all up to! I'm posting here a time line of the changes to benefits, both the story so far, and what is planned for the coming months, just for your information. I hope...

I've just been putting my tree up, and need something to cover the ugly stand at the base. (This is our first time with an artificial tree). I almost bought a tree skirt set last week from QVC (item no 757670), it has good reviews, but the price was putting me off. I just had another look...
