First, just to say it’s been another wonderful Christmas so far, as yet another year finally goes by. It’s now more than 13 years since I returned to QVC, plus the first six years after launch in 1994. Have enjoyed every moment. Hope you have too. This week I met up for my annual ‘Brad […]
One more week to go, funnies, and keeping warm
It’s nearly here! And the weeks are whizzing by as usual. I think it just gets worse as you get older, don’t you? Like: it’s October with loads of time and then suddenly you wake up the next morning and it’s the middle of December! How did those weeks fly by so fast? I’ve still […]
Kids Xmas Fun, Bugsy, and Sneaky peeks!
Busy busy busy! Not long now and the pace is hotting up in the social calendar, in the countdown to Crimbo! Did loads this week, including a very enjoyable theatre trip, remembering one of my favourite childhood films. Well okay, I was 14. The 1976 film ‘Bugsy Malone’ by Alan Parker, is one of my […]
A day up London with mum and sis and Theatre! Plus sneaky peeks of the next week on QVC.
What a smashing time we had this week with one of our annual trips up London together. We’ve been doing this for many years and it’s been nice to reinstate the tradition after a couple of years gap – for obvious reasons. First stop was a bit of shopping in Harrods, and a lovely lunch […]
Guess where we are with this quality wallpaper! Nostalgic 1999 QVC clip. And sneaky peeks for the week ahead on QVC
So I was down in Devon all week, running a big ‘just write’ writing retreat (go to retreatsforyou.co.uk to find out more about what I get up to at my guesthouse down in Devon), and I found time to see some friends. I ended up visiting a coffee shop called Toast, and believe it or […]
Meet up at Dotty’s Teahouse Carshalton and testing times at the Nuffield
Plus the usual sneaky peeks of the week ahead on QVC, of course! But first, on Sunday it was time for the medical detection dogs fundraiser / belated 60th birthday treat for me. We had an afternoon tea event, and we raised about £300 via a visit to Dotty’s Teahouse in Carshalton, one of my […]
Countdown is on! Geller and Elemis. And funny blooper!
Well, time for the first of my Christmas trees of the week! In the countdown to Christmas from now on I’ll try to find one every single week and we can see which one is the best at the end! This week I went to the spa in West Croft in Carshalton for my regular […]
Look who’s back for a flying visit! & Hotel Chocolat comp – if you’re quick!
I was delighted to go and get Izzy and Lara from Heathrow Airport this week. They were back for a flying visit for the weekend from Sweden where they now live. We had a lovely meal at Bill’s in Reigate (they were determined to go to Wagamama‘s but it had a technical problem and was […]
NanNan time with Blake; Mockingbird & Gatineau comp!
Gosh what a week this has been. I know I say that a lot! One of the first things I did this week was to go to the hospital checkup with my lovely mum, and the scan put her mind at rest, all is good with her organs following her recent blood clot diagnosis. She […]
Look what happened when I visited Dartmoor this week! And QVC sneaky peeks…
My daughter loves this photo so I thought I would send it to you this week! QVC make-up Junkie Becky (also my niece) did this fabulous updo with the Dyson air wrap for a show last Friday, very grown-up! Then I did my shifts and on Monday it was off to Devon for another lovely […]
