Have you ever played Qwirkle? A bit like a cross between Scrabble, dominoes and cards? We played it in Devon and it was such fun, I bought one for down here, in Surrey. So when I was finally off work, after a hectic few shifts over Christmas week, and New Year, I played with mum. […]
Fab Xmas And Review of the Year 2022
Another Big family Christmas for me this year! Spent Christmas Eve at son Brad’s when we opened all the presents, trying to spread the joy this Yuletide! They loved their Lego and Duplo! Little Kaleb made everyone laugh, when he handed some pretty boring presents, boring to a one year-old usually, jumpers and tops, and […]
The most wonderful time of the year
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 […]
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 […]
Fairy Phoebe’s fourth birthday! And Sneaky peeks for next week on QVC
They were here! What a lovely time we had. Lauren came down with her family, and Brad visited as well, so I had both my children and my four grandchildren altogether. They immediately started playing, and the girls put on the fairy wings. Even little Kaleb joined in with the fun. Then it was time […]
