Yes! I wanted to look at this for my mum’s birthday but she, like me, loathes anything rose-scented and finds vanilla makes her nauseous (also like me!) A ‘plain’ Shea one or citrus or lavender would be better so sadly it’s a no for me..!

I got the email for these and was tempted but when I went to look at them in detail, they’re quite a different design to the ‘standard’ Lock n Locks in terms of the ‘locking mechanism’. Decided not to risk it. I must say, though, that I love the darkly coloured ones for food because they never...

When I got the email for this TSV, I must admit I actually thought “I like it!” I think the print is pretty and like the style etc but when I clicked the link and saw the price and how skimpy it looked, I was shocked! Monsoon is expensive these days and would only usually buy in the sale but I...

I’ve watched The Apprentice more or less since the beginning, but I find I’m getting fed up with it these days. It’s often funny and entertaining - usually laughing at the contestants and the task outcomes! - but so many now seem to on the programme to get their 15 minutes of fame Don’t think...

No idea if Ruth wears a wig I’m afraid, don’t think I’ve ever watched one of her shows and no desire to. But maybe her hair has thinned with age? Sure some on here used to call her “helmet hair”?! Or is that someone else! As for Michelle Dewberry, do you mean the former Apprentice winner...

Wow you must get through a lot of yoghurt! Def a cheaper way to buy it, but it’s still £336 pounds a year on yog which I couldn’t justify. But glad it works for you. I used to have a Easyio machine etc and some of them were quite nice but I found them really unhealthy - LOT of sugar in most...

My mum had to have both of her eyes done a couple of years ago. She’s got an autoimmune disease which made it more complicated and recovery worse but she’s now able to just wear cheapo “readers” as her only glasses and driving much easier 😌 She did say it was a bit scary and unpleasant -...

No don’t think they were for sale ON QVC. I read it that they were commissioned by/made for QVC… But after the jubilee and their display etc they were obviously sold off privately and the chap who is now selling them, somehow bought and collected them from the studio?! Can you imagine the P&P...

Here you go… There are 12 series of it, so you should be able to find your local town or one near it? It’s not my favourite comedy show on radio 4 but it’s usually well written and delivered! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/b00rtbk8?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile

Think you mean Mark Steel? He does “Mark Steel’s in Town” on radio 4… I think I heard he’s under going treatment for throat cancer atm poor chap…

Not sure how this popped up - think it appeared in the ‘new posts’ section but didn’t realise it’s from last year. Enjoyed reading about your stand up experience. I used to be very up to date on stand up comedy but not in recent years. Knew the name Simon Munnery but never seen him on...

I haven’t listened to the specific episode you posted but will give it a listen. The BBC episode (first one) was being repeated this week so I heard that and I liked it. His character is a bit in your face but it was pretty true to life.

Who’s MP? Do you mean MA (Maisie Adams)? I’ve only ever seen her on panel shows and she’s been quite funny on those but sounds as if maybe her stand up isn’t amazing! Why can’t you watch Rosie Jones?

Have you ever tried Turtle Mats? The last image of these - the one with birds - even looks just like one of their designs.

Can’t sleep (can’t anyway but next door neighbours just brought home their new-born baby too who is screaming away!), so decided to read the links too! Bizarre?! It sounds as if they were commissioned by QVC in 2012 to launch their gardening season. Not a regular viewer - and usually only...

I happened to be up and able to tune into QVC tonight. Saw ten mins of Cozee Home but poor Deborah couldn’t get a full sentence out without Jill Franks butting in and talking over her, with her irrelevant waffle and half-thoughts and hilarious anecdotes.. She made a “joke” about her husband...

Yes I recently saw the L’Oreal advert and was shocked to see Kelly Hoppen on it - but even more disappointed by Jo Wiley stooping to do such an advert!

Well that’s not French toast LOL! 😉 And definitely don’t try to recreate it in a toaster - especially a pricey Dualit one! - you’ll end up causing a fire with butter on the element! It may work to butter both sides before toasting in an air-fryer if you have one, or else in a regular oven...

Looked on BBC Good Food website, which I find is pretty reliable for most recipes, especially if you take into account the reader comments too! They have “recipes” for eggy bread and even fried bread plus videos. But the one for French toast is extremely indulgent! (Eggs, cream, sugar and...

The primary difference between French toast and Eggy bread is that FT is sweet and EB is savoury! In the former, one usually adds cinnamon, vanilla or nutmeg. Also often some sugar is added - icing sugar works well. It does usually still include egg - I’ve had it made for me with a little bit...
