I think she is fab!
She is so cheery and enthusiastic and I am really tempted to buy some of the shaping undergarments. HELP.

mama I am so glad I am not alone

Isn't she great , getting her wobbly belly out like that ?

And aren't we clever multitaskers - watching the shopping channel AND mumsnetting at the same time?

she used to be on You Bet i think, she was the one who was out on location when they were jumping out of planes and so on!

blossomsmine · 25/04/2009 18:57

...didnt realise that was her on You Bet!!!

You didn't really miss anything good lol! Watters Crazy Christmas always used to be on before Christmas (obviously and it was abit like a 'club' he had a christmas card book when he sent 'regulars' cards etc., and did phone ins..... It was so cheesy it got to be compulsive viewing lol!

who is/was Watters?!

OP posts:
blossomsmine · 27/04/2009 22:21

Don't think i am spelling it properly, acually

It was called Whatters Crazy Christmas and i think the guys name was Steve Whattley....or something like that!!!

Anyway, was abit stupid really but i used to switch it on every year in the run up to Christmas and just sit there like a zombie, getting in the swing of it and even remembering the regulars names lol!

.............but the things he was trying to sell were probably a load of old rubbish

My mother is addicted to that channel and I had to suffer it with her during mat leave . Ellis gets on my tits but I like Steph who does the cards.

ooh the cards, and all that crafting stuff...Are there really otherwise intelligent women out there with the time and inclination to stick all those wee shapes onto fancy bits of card? And what the feck do they do with their creations once they have made them? Bleugh! I do love to watch it though!

OP posts:
blossomsmine · 28/04/2009 09:26

..................those goddamn craft days.......

Oh, yes, i still watch them, for a little while, but i just can't get my head round 'crafting'

A waste of good Ellis time i feel

EyeballsintheSky · 28/04/2009 11:17

My mother adores crafting. She retired just in time to be company for me during mat leave as long as I don't mind Steph and Dawn Bibby sharing the conversation. She's given little thought to her cake decorating over the past 18 months, it's all cards cards cards. I spend my non 'working' days of the week waiting in the car with DD outside Hobbycraft (can't go in, it brings me out in hives ). We now each get a beautifully handcrafted, if slightly crooked masterpiece for birthdays and Christmas. In fact, I was highly insulted to receive a Clinton's one for our anniversary. I thought I'd upset her about something

MammaTiggy · 28/04/2009 14:10

oh i agree those craft days are SO boring arent they? a wholen day of bloomin' craft and no magic knickers or anything - rubbish! (its mammapiggy btw i have changed a letter!)

MammaTiggy · 28/04/2009 14:11

ellis never seems to do the craft days does she

EyeballsintheSky · 28/04/2009 14:49

No, Ellis needs the knickers after having her twins. Did you see her wobbly stomach when she showed it off one magic knicker day? Mine is still better though

MammaTiggy · 28/04/2009 15:03

oh i know she is so brave doing that, i really admire her for it, she makes me feel better about my tummy! she does that every time they sell the magic knickers, i quite like the look of those magic knickers i must admit!

blossomsmine · 28/04/2009 22:40

.................yes, i keep meaning to get those knickers

Then again, i could buy almost ANYTHING from that channel.......apart from the crafty stuff

bigted · 28/04/2009 23:03

yes , does anyone have any of the magic underwear?

OP posts:
MammaTiggy · 29/04/2009 09:23

i have got some magic bodysuit things but not ideal world ones.

i got a waterpik though, power wash for teeth type thing that ellis always gets very excited about and its quite good
i like the look of the blanx toothpaste too but have never tried that!

you can tell i watch too much ideal world cant you!

HolyGuacamole · 29/04/2009 11:03

I tried the blanx toothpaste before and wasn't that impressed by it, not worth the money. The Colgate once per week treatment thingamy is good tho

MammaTiggy · 29/04/2009 13:02

have you seen her selling those rio acrylic french manicure nails? they always look amazing but i'm not sure if i would be able to get on with them

blossomsmine · 29/04/2009 22:18

......whats the colgate once a week thing?.........have i MISSED something on the shopping channel????
