So, has anyone succumbed???? I have to say I think it looks absolutely hideous - cheap and uncomfortable, and certainly not for anyone bigger than a size 12. Sorry, Joan, I'm thinking you should maybe stick to what you're good at - being very very funny. Cheers, CountessK.

Poor Joseph Esposito is the loveliest man (despite appearances), but I wish someone would give him a cough sweet, his cough is driving me nuts. I do hope he feels better soon, he's obviously struggling. Poor love.

I like Pipa's new do! An apricot pixie cut is much cuter than that awful two-tone barnet she did have. I wish I was adventurous with my hair, but I think it's been in the same style since about nineteen-oatcake. Cheers, CountessK.

Every time they show the Michael Ball trailer, I feel the need to bleach my eyeballs. He is ultra creepy, whether or not he can sing. Sorry, had to get that off my chest.

Following on from the Groundhog Day thread, I'm just wondering which TSVs we've been buying? The only TSV I've bought this year was the spacesaver bags a couple of weeks ago, because we're moving house. I don't think there's been anything else tempting enough to overcome the P&P issue...

Who buys bras off the telly? I wonder as well if QVC are missing a trick by not stocking bras in larger cup sizes - surely a large proportion of QVC viewers are much bigger than a DD cup, given that many of them are in a more mature age bracket? I admit that I'm one of those unfortunates who...

I took to my bed this afternoon with 'morning sickness' and decided to put Rocks on for visuals. I was quite taken aback at the monstrosity of a ring they had on: 74ct of Petroke Kunzite - yes, in a ring! It looked like a paperweight on Jerilee's hand, so it did. It made me think: who are...

Gorgeous jewels, tasty bloke. I'm not sure do I want to look at him or his products more (although he could definitely do with a haircut). So do I take my daughter to boring old playgroup or stay in and have a drool? Lucky Claire. :D CountessK. x

Her music isn't my kind of thing but my goodness she can sing! Her voice is nice enough without all the over-the-top production, but I bet this CD will go like hotcakes. (This hour's a bit of an easy gig for Anne Dawson, eh?)

I'm just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? I was trying to get the last out of a bottle of L'Occitaine body lotion at the weekend, and as I squeezed the bottle my thumbs went right through it and it completely shattered, with little fragments of the bottle all over the floor. As...

I am horrified and worried to find that i am actually very tempted by the Carole Hochman TSV. My dressing gown was a wedding present - it's our 6th anniversary this week - and it's getting very very tatty. But surely a woman of my age (ie mid-ish 30s :giggle:) should never be tempted by a bit...

Did anyone watch Derek last night? I had him on in the background for visuals, but from what I could hear, he didn't think anyone was watching. He was acting very very strangely, perhaps he's overdoing the cold meds? I don't think I'd be very happy if I was in charge of Derek and whoever his...

Can someone explain to me what a window is and how you can tell if your gem has one if you don't have any real technical gem knowledge? I'd never heard of windowing until i started coming to this forum. Reason I ask is because i bought a AAA tanzanite solitaire, and when it arrived there was...

I've never bought from R&C, but I do like to tune in on Freeview in the afternoons every now and then. What I don't understand is why they use such miniscule diamond accents, even on the biggest designs. I'm always seeing 2, 3, 4, 8, even 15+ carats accented with less than a tenth of a carat of...

OK, OK, I don't love JF but I don't mind her at all, she's definitely not the worst presenter on QVC (in my humble AY-hating opinion!). She gets so many negative comments here, I just wonder if there is anyone else here (or on the planet) who doesn't hate JF?

I just received my first ever purchase from TJC - a silver/platinum plated amethyst line bracelet. It is absolutely incredible and I'm chuffed to bits with it. It only cost £40, but you'd never think so, it's very weighty and the 22 amethysts are gorgeous. I'm worried now that I've opened the...

Who was the old guy presenting last night? He could have been James Russell's dad, all the same mannerisms. But this guy kept breaking into song, he had a decent enough voice, but I can't help but think that Simon Cowell won't be knocking on his door any time soon!

I saw Simon Biagi on the Kitchen show tonight, I just had the telly on for visuals, and I had to stop what I was doing to take a closer look. The man looked like death warmed up. I mean, he's obviously a very slender guy with incredible bone structure, but tonight he looked like a cadaver, he...

I just got a £20 black & white diamond silver ring today, and it's brilliant! OK, so it's obviously not the biggest or the sparkliest ring in the world but the design is funky, and I can still say I got a DIAMOND RING FOR £20! That's less than a Domino's pizza! As an occasional low-budget...

You know the advert where they show the 'behind the scenes at GemsTV' footage, and it pauses now and then to say "Enthusiasm" or "Knowledge" or whatever? Well, it has this really cool guitar kind of music to it, and I'm wondering if anyone has a clue where it's from, or was it created just for...
