Having said that, I am pretty organised now, with just a few little stocking fillers left to buy. It\u2019s obviously going to be a very different Christmas this year, but I did manage to meet up with a friend for a socially distanced Christmas lunch last week. Being in Tier 2, we had to meet outside so we sat outside a cafe in Covent Garden in our big coats and tried not to shiver too much! It was freezing and so we didn\u2019t last as long as we would have liked but it was lovely just to be able to see each other, enjoy the beautiful decorations around us and exchange gifts.<\/p>\n<p>And speaking of exchanging gifts, have you seen the \u201cSecret Santa\u201d video on the homepage of the QVC website yet? It features me, Craig, Miceal and Chloe and it\u2019s a mini drama about doing a Secret Santa 2020 style, via a Zoom call!<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"embedly-card\" data-card-controls=\"1\" data-card-align=\"left\" data-card-theme=\"light\">\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/wWLifXYXuHw\">It&#8217;s Secret Santa &#8211; 2020 style!<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>Join QVC Presenters Jackie Kabler, Miceal Murphy, Chloe Everton and Craig Rowe as they exchange Secret Santa gifts the new way!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/cdn.embedly.com\/widgets\/platform.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll let you into a little secret &#8211; although it looks like we were all chatting together and having fun, we actually had to film our parts in this separately. In fact, we all filmed on different days, in different parts of the QVC building, and then it was very cleverly edited together. We were all amazed at how well it worked when we saw it, even with our slightly (very!) dubious acting skills! We are all good friends though which helped a lot and so we think it would have looked very similar if we HAD been able to film it together! It\u2019s just a bit of fun to reflect these strange times; it\u2019s amazing how we as a society seem to have adapted to this \u201cnew normal\u201d, although I think most of us at this point would welcome the \u201cold normal\u201d back with open arms. Fingers crossed for 2021, eh?<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-102059\" src=\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Shark-Duo-Clean-Corded-Stick-Vacuum.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"930\" height=\"728\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Shark-Duo-Clean-Corded-Stick-Vacuum.jpg 930w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Shark-Duo-Clean-Corded-Stick-Vacuum-300x235.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stories.qvcuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Shark-Duo-Clean-Corded-Stick-Vacuum-768x601.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px\" \/>\n<p>Before I go just a quick mention of a big offer from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qvcuk.com\/shark\/home-&amp;-kitchen\/_\/N-1z141l5Zlfnu\/c.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shark<\/a> coming up on Sunday 20th. It\u2019s the Duo Clean Corded Stick Vacuum which is just amazing at removing dirt from both hard floors and carpets &#8211; friends who have pets say its invaluable when it comes to pet hair, and it\u2019s fantastic for those with allergies too. It\u2019s also got the rather wonderfully named \u201cFlexology\u201d, a flexible wand which bends so you can clean easily under low furniture like beds and coffee tables, plus the famous Anti Hair Wrap technology to stop hair tangling up in the brush roll. And it converts easily to a handheld too, so it\u2019s easy to do stairs and upholstery. I\u2019m always so impressed when I see Shark vacuums being demonstrated on air, so if you need a new vacuum cleaner for the New Year, don\u2019t miss this offer at the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Take care, stay warm.<\/p>\n<p>Love Jackie x<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, It\u2019s Christmas NEXT WEEK&#8230; how did that happen?
