it has invaded my tv because i am too lazy to reach the remote and switch over

Who in their right mind wastes their money on this utter shite?

I can actuall visualise the sort of person. It is not a flattering image.

Sorry to blow the thread here but I am a big fan of Kipling bags. Used one as a changing bag when kids were small and never looked back.

Have about 10 of them but not in garish colours, mostly black and grey and have just bought a dark lilac one for summer at the duty free. Have a Kipling suitcase too in bright green so it never gets lost! I only wear cross body bags as I have funny shoulders and can't hold a shoulder bag on them.

Would never pay QVC prices as they are about double what they usually are. Also the designs are end of range. Was tempted to buy a Radley bag but you can't get the same amount in them.

Can't get QVC where I am now so can't see the monkey.

Ahem. Talking of dogs - I bought a furminator (dog comb/brush thingummy) and it is fab.

Is also very good at removing the crap dead grass/bits of fluff from the velcro on the kids shoes.

And that completes my fascinating QVC facts for this evening.

slalomsuki · 22/04/2011 13:01

My paternal nan will quite often ring at 9pm and ask me what the bloke on qvc just said? I've told her several times that I don't watch it, my poor grandad is allowed a 1 hour slot at midday for his programmes she even watches teleshopping in bed [bushock]

slalomsuki · 22/04/2011 13:28

Panic over, I can get the monkey from ebay by next Friday on a buy it now.

brighthair · 22/04/2011 13:31

QVC is my guilty secret. I like watching the beauty stuff, but I only watch before I go to bed. Then I turn it off when I start thinking "ooooh that looks good......." "right, it's time for bed"

practicallyimperfect · 22/04/2011 14:16

My MIL. Everything comes from there or gems.tv. Then we get given it. You should see some of the beauties.

My favourite is a tiffany-style lamp in the shape of a cat. Like this one but without the dragonfly

this gal is a HOOT on friday fashion on Ideal world I use the term 'fashion' VERY loosely

She has a way of saying 'The Triple XL comes in a 58 inch Busssssst' that makes me cackle every time

58inch bust!!!

I have two kipling bags and love them. The one I'm currently using ticks every box for what I want in a handbag.

and tbh, I'd be pissed right off with myself for wasting a tenner on three bottles of wine.

So each to their own, hey?

LynetteScavo · 22/04/2011 17:17

I fancy some diamonique. Blush

tyzer2001 · 22/04/2011 17:45

And, thanks to this thread, I've just bought another bag.

nodders I ahve the MAlly Eye lift, it doesnt actually lift anything but I do like it, it creates the illusion anyhoo

nulliusxinxverbax · 22/04/2011 20:04

Im quite lucky in that ive had a facial done by keeley, who does elemis on qvc. She lovely, but honestly you should see some of the stalkers she gets. The way they go on youd think they were meeting Madonna or something. its like it for all of them on there I think, people watch qvc and end up thinking they know the people on there and chat to them like mates.....its really v strange Hmm
