Celebrations and snow days

I hope all’s well…

We’ve had another eventful week at home what with the heavy snow (for lowland Surrey 🙂 ) at the weekend and my wife Tracey’s BIG Birthday. We did our best to make it a special day, decorating the house with bunting and my daughter Ali and I made up strings of photos we’d printed off that highlighted her life in pictures. I think it turned out to be one of her favourite things of the day as it was a real emotional trip down memory lane for her and a source of amusement for Ali and Jack, particularly looking at some of the fashions and haircuts over the years!

We had ordered some fancy food from online too and a very talented friend of Ali and Jack’s created this spectacular birthday cake – chocolate sponge with salted caramel and homemade macarons!! I’m pleased to say she had a wonderful day.

The recent snow brought much light relief for many, particularly the nation’s children, and although I know of course there can be serious problems related to heavy snow, fortunately for most it’s an opportunity to re-appraise how beautiful life can be when seen through snow dusted lenses! I took the image at the top of this post whilst out on a walk, simple but beautiful. Ali however took a quick trip to Narnia with Toby and Ellie, as you can see in this video!

I hope you enjoyed the snow safely too.

Back at The Q it was business as usual with plenty of tempting offers and we’ve got an interesting Today’s Special Value (TSV) coming up on Friday (5th). They may not look that interesting to be honest but these It Works Water Activated Cleaning Blocks are really useful for a huge number of cleaning jobs around your home. We have a 40-piece variety pack on offer and the larger blocks can easily be cut down if needs be.

They are activated by simply wetting them in tap water, giving them a gentle squeeze to remove excess water and away you go – obviously it depends on what you’re cleaning, but they can often be re-soaked to remove dirt etc. and used again. Of course, they do eventually break down, which is why we have such a generous sized pack for you. We’ve used them for years and always make sure we keep a supply of them. They can be used on all types of dirt, grease and scuffs but be careful not to use them on some high gloss finishes such as a metallic car, as they would “dull” the finish. Our guest Russell Bristow, who I have had the pleasure of working with at The Q on and off for around 23 years, will be demonstrating our TSV from his home… I expect to see it spotless Russ. 😉

Watch out for our three interest-free instalments SHOP3Z voucher code, for use on selected items during our “Customer Favourites Event” between the 3rd and 4th of Feb, which can be used via the latest version of the QVC app or online at qvcuk.com!

Until next time… stay frost free and squeaky clean!
