    Just curious, honest, but how do you know when the tsvs are coming up?

    Have packed up a little box of stuff and have 12 items ready to send off, just waiting for someone to kindly pm me a label and then hopefully I can post that off tomorrow.

    Does that justify my three JF items I bought earlier?


    Sounds ridiculous but I don't know how to pm you an attachment. If you pm me your email address though I could get the label to you by email.

    If you go to www.qvcuk.com and look at the TV Guide you can look at upcoming shows for 4 weeks' ahead. The shows featured at midnight each day contain the TSV.


    What's a TSV ?

    Count me in yet again, hoping for a better month that February :o

    I'm definitely in too.

    I think TSV stands for Today's Special Value

    A dangerous combination of three words for anyone on this board!

    Hoping my willpower holds - I'm on the No Cash Spends again this coming month. For those of us who are doing it, we have the Clairol Foam Party on the 19th to look forward to. I have a ceremony to attend for my maths teaching certificate on the Monday 21st so I think I will actually do it on that day.

    Another newbie reporting for duty! I read avidly during February's post and you all did very well. I have enough of everything to see me through the month but my moisturiser is at the squeezy stage (forget what you all refer to it as but I only have about a week's worth left) so will probably have to buy one but I have a BS voucher so I'm with butler_helen with the notion that it doesn't count!
