Hello and thank you for reading my first blog of 2021 and I do hope you are keeping safe and well. Just like last year’s more difficult moments, this year I hope myself and the QVC family can bring some escapism and comfort as we navigate the new few months.<\/p>\n

May I start by wishing you a happy and healthy new year. How did you celebrate Christmas and the end of 2020? My Christmas, like many, was very different than planned: I was due to visit my family in Bristol but due to the last minute change in rules I spent Christmas in London with my partner (who had also had plans changed) and we had a wonderful, quiet, relaxed Christmas.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

In the photos you can see some of the more alcohol presents I received including Hotel Chocolat<\/a> liqueurs (from my neighbour) and 6 o\u2019clock gin (from my mum). We also met my friend Emma and her dog Vera for a Christmas afternoon walk, which was wonderful as here in London it was a beautiful day.<\/p>\n

New Year’s Eve was very similar, a quiet night in, (too many) cocktails and dancing round the living room until the small hours. On New Year\u2019s Day we went for a good long cycle around the park.<\/p>\n

So, I am now back at QVC and have a really exciting first week back. This Thursday 7th at 9pm I am launching the first big kitchen Today’s Special Value of 2021 – the Ninja<\/a> Multi-Oven (the product number is 812035). As I haven\u2019t been at work, I haven\u2019t had a chance to use it, but I know Katy Pullinger has had great results using it.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

In essence, it’s a brilliant worktop mini oven that bakes, roasts, crisps, air-fries, dehydrates (very en vogue) and can even warm your food and plates! Join myself and wonderful Gail Samways for the launch at 9pm.<\/p>\n

Also, in that same hour I will be hosting the final airing of the Judith Williams<\/a> Today’s Special Value, a wonderful New Year collection of her much loved Life Long Beauty range (the product number is 242113).<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Finally, have you heard about something new for 2021 – The Great QVC Giveaway<\/a>? It’s a really simple way of winning some great prizes AND being in with a chance of winning the BIG prize of \u00a310,000 at the end of January.<\/p>\n

All you need to do to qualify is place and order with QVC and the more times you shop the more chances you get to spin the prize wheel – hurrah!! All the details and how to play are right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So, that’s it for me for the moment but do keep an eye out for a series of health and wellbeing blogs I will posting this year, too. I’ll be sharing my thoughts on how to stay mentally and physically well, which I hope will be of interest to you.<\/p>\n

Much love and big hugs.<\/p>\n
