Yes folks I\u2019m talking about our recent sprinkling of the white stuff… clearly I\u2019m referring to last Sunday\u2019s snow scene!!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m still a bit of a kid at heart and I remember how I would be beside myself with excitement as a child when I would wake up to the beautiful, crisp, snowy wonderland scenes. Well not last Sunday… I was at QVC doing the morning Gardening Show with the fabulous Michael Perry and all was dull and grey to begin with (the weather that is, not Michael Perry!!). By the time I got home, check out what my back garden looked like! And there was much more to come!!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s quite difficult getting in and out of the village where I live so after a 10mph journey of edging my way back the final mile or two, I was not about to venture out again. Well, only later on to watch the kids have an absolute ball. I found it amazing but not unusual that children of all ages (and many an adult too incidentally) were having the time of their life. Not a phone, screen or beeping gaming sound for miles, just hours of fun for everyone – snowballs, sledging and some very interesting looking snowmen too!!<\/p>\n

I remember my own three boys when they were younger, can\u2019t remember how many changes of clothing they\u2019d end up getting through. There never seemed to be enough radiators in the house! In fact, I can remember only a couple of years ago the same scenario… except this time it was with their wives\/girlfriends. \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n

I just love it!! Personally I think this time it was made even more special given everything that\u2019s been happening of late. So a bit more of the “white stuff” please, not too much and for too long, just another weekend sprinkling to put a smile on everyone’s face \u26c4\ufe0f\u26c4\ufe0f\u26c4\ufe0f…including mine. \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n

Well this weekend I can think of a few reasons that we\u2019ll all have a smile on our faces and into next week too!! To start with, Friday\u2019s Mr Max<\/strong> Today’s Special Value (TSV) is an absolute must. A great pair of flattering slimline everyday leggings at a fab price.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Wear them immediately with a chunky knit on top but equally they\u2019ll look great with an oversized shirt or top going forward into spring. And let\u2019s face it\u2026 it\u2019s great to have those basics as we usually have more tops than bottoms in our wardrobes. We\u2019ve got a host of colours to choose from so who knows, you may want to go for a couple of pairs at these great prices.<\/p>\n

Drum roll please for Saturday. I\u2019m off but I will be tuning in for this amazing offer from the Laura Gellar<\/strong> range… an utterly brilliant Artisan All-Stars Four-Piece Collection TSV<\/a> on pre-sell already.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

If the Mr Max trousers are a great wardrobe basic, then this little kit is your absolute go to for your make-up basics. In fact if you\u2019ve never tried the range (or want to introduce someone else to it) then look no further. The queen of foundations and a QVC award winner for several years… it\u2019s the Balance-n-Brighten Foundation complete with brush. You then have the stunning French Vanilla and Pink Buttercream Highlighter, which is so flattering on all skin tones and then to complete the look, the most moisturising, sumptuous marbled lipstick. I know for a fact that many of you will be bulk buying.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t normally work on Tuesdays but I\u2019m glad I\u2019m going to be in next week as we have fab little jacket from the Joules<\/strong> range.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

I\u2019ve opted for the navy (might even wear it with my Mr Max trousers!!). Many of us love the range for tops and jeans but I do love their jackets too. Can\u2019t remember if I told you that one of my Christmas presents was a beautiful Joules jacket. It was from my brother who I look after. How it goes is that I buy the present (with his money), then one of the kids wraps it and gives it to him to then give to me. He then looks all chuffed as I do my BAFTA winning performance at how surprised I am and how perfect the gift etc. etc. It\u2019s truly amazing… been doing it for years. I\u2019ve had everything from Emu slippers, Centigrade coats and the year before last I believe was the Shay & Blue TSV (talking of which, watch this space\u2026 exciting news on the horizon with this, my absolute favourite fragrance brand!!). All good stuff, so lots to look forward to over the next few days folks.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned, stay warm and stay safe too!!<\/p>\n

Lots of love,<\/p>\n

Anne xx<\/p>\n
