We had a very big QVC Christmas shopping day last week and this was a scene in the corridor afterwards (see the top picture).When I went to take a photo of it all being packed away, Alice and Chanel hid! So funny. Can you see their heads popping up behind the massive presents? Photo-bombed by two little QVC backstage pixies. \ud83d\ude42 We have such fun with our friends behind the scenes. Look out for more Christmas fayre<\/a>, there\u2019s lots still online, and there will be another big day in September before the lead up to Christmas starts as usual on QVC in early October. We don’t do things by halves! Do you start shopping early? Or do you leave it ’til the last minute? I\u2019m a bit of both.<\/p>\n

Big sister<\/strong><\/p>\n\"\"\n

My daughter Lauren posted this this week, with the caption \u201csomeone\u2019s excited to be a big sister!” Little Phoebe keeps touching her mummy\u2019s belly. She\u2019s got a long time to wait, it\u2019s not until January! It will be lovely for them. And me! And of course, this time next week, Brad and Kari hopefully will have brought their little boy into the world as my small dynasty expands! Very exciting.<\/p>\n

Dad\u2019s anniversary – family fun<\/strong><\/p>\n\"\"\n

The 15th August would\u2019ve been my dad\u2018s 82nd birthday. My siblings and I, well most of them, met up with Mum for our annual lunch. We try to do it once a year but obviously missed out last year, so it was lovely to see everybody!<\/p>\n

Funny!<\/strong><\/p>\n\"\"\n

Haven\u2019t been looking at as much news and politics stuff in August, giving myself a break. So when I saw this, I chuckled!<\/p>\n

Watch – The Courier at the cinema<\/strong><\/p>\n

Benedict Cumberbatch is a marvel. Whatever he is in, he fills the screen with watchability and intensity second to none. I went to see this after my afternoon tea this week, and it transported me back to the early 60s and the days of the Cold War, ingenuously. His characterisation is always fabulous, watch out for the footage at the end of the real salesman turned spy. Highly recommended and definitely an award contender I reckon!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m also probably going to see Free Guy with the nieces now Lara and Izzy are back from their long holiday abroad. Ziggy the dog did his pieces when he saw them, going completely cuckoo! He is so lovely.<\/p>\n

This was a funny moment, trust Ali!<\/p>\n
