Mmmmm,
*wishes she had QVC, or rather doesn't as the rest of her overdraft would probably disappear*
Now you know we've reached the age of the armchair consumer when you can get without even leaving your armchair

You could buy them from their website, which I'm not allowed to link to as it's advertising. 
I should point out, however, that they are quite hideously expensive cakes.

Cake! From a website! What is the world coming to? There are plenty of signs that this is the end of days, but this is a pretty strong contender. I may need a lie down after this news.

Not just from a website, but from a TV shopping channel! A whole hour of prime-time programming devoted to . And I thought you had to pay extra for those kinds of channels.

Well, I wasn't going to mention it, but they were eating the cake. Quite brazenly cutting it into slices, sniffing it, removing pieces with a small fork, putting it *in their mouths* and swallowing it. All on pre-watershed television. Rest assured I shall be writing a stiff letter of complaint.

I'm sure we could, but not right now, as I suddenly have an irresistible urge to go and eat .

I was watching it too EV! It was quite extraordinary! But at 25 quid a cake, they better have been simply scrumptious!
Perhaps we should have an h2g2 QVC watchers support group?

25 quid a cake?!?!?!
I'd join that group Abi, I really need help. *confession time*
I watch the jewellery programmes on QCV.
*hangs head in shame*
*goes for a lie-down*

I'm quite concerned that to avoid the News EV has been forced to watch QVC.

Jamie Posted Mar 22, 2003
There are other ways of avoiding the news you know.
Some of them are even legal
Personally, I was assiduously avoiding the news yesterday. And I have the hangover to prove it

"Assiduously"? How dare you use words like that in my journal?

Not sure why I'm in work today after yesterdays drinking either
