So I’m feeling pretty down at the moment. Tuned into the shopping channel this morning, and saw something I really love, sleep spray. I didn’t say anything , and changed channel.
Didn’t think anymore about it. Dh disappeared upstairs to get dressed came down and told me he ordered it for my upcoming birthday ! So unlike him, he’s never ordered anything before, i’m so surprised it brought a tear to my eye.
Also my lovely Dil sent a text last night to say she’s taking me out for lunch for my birthday ! bless her. Nice to share some good news for a change.

That’s lovely Katy, must admit I’m a sucker for the shopping channels too, hope you have a great birthday

Have a lovely birthday.

I would like a spray to keep me awake!!

I have a few different sleep sprays and roller type dispensers. They work very well for me so worth a try. I love lavender and have several bushes in the garden. Some contain chamomile which is another scent that’s been used down the ages.

Katyj me too, I never understand what theses deletions mean and why some people see them.

Thank you for the explanation of QVC, as I don’t like shopping, except when necessary, I’m safe!

Hope you have a very Happy Birthday.

Aww Thank you for the birthday wishes. Yes I’m wondering what could have been said about a sleep spray makes the Mind boggle ? Kwest that made me laugh bless him, his heart was in the right place that’s all that matters.
I also love the l’ Occitane products they once had them in a hotel we were staying in. Plus the neom diffuser is lovely both dils have them,
I’m saving up for one they are quite pricey. Don’t watch QVC everyday or I’d be bankrupt !

Missiseff Wed 05-May-21 14:08:06

Highly recommend NEOM products, if that's allowed shock Beautiful scents

What a lovely man. In recent years my husband has 'got the hang' of ordering from Amazon and often buys books for me that he thinks I might like. One funny thing, for my birthday , I had taken up ballet for over 50s before the lockdown, he sent away for a selection of legwarmers for me. On my birthday I opened a package with long over the knee socks with huge feet in them and tight around the tops. He was mortified especially as he had more coming in the post. We had a good laugh about it. He could wear them for gardening I suppose.

QVC are great for bargains on brands like Occitaine (which do a sleep spray!). It is quite relaxing and has a lovely lavender smell but expensive.

EmilyHarburn Wed 05-May-21 11:02:27

QVC is a shopping channel - www.qvcuk.com/

I suggest you use it with care. They demonstrate things to buy on TV. Lots of the stuff is bought as the demonstration occurs, this makes things exciting, and kind of makes you also want to buy. The result is that though you may get some nice things you may also buy a whole lot of stuff you don't need or want. so be careful.

They do have real shops for the returned goods and friends who use this channel enjoy an an outing to the nearest one when its allowed.

So nice to see 'lovely' and 'Dil' in one sentence as, so often on this site, there is a lot of DiL bashing. How nice of your family - I won't say lucky you as you sound such a nice person that you deserve some spoiling. Enjoy your birthday.

Jaxjacky Wed 05-May-21 10:54:37

I don’t even know what QVC is!

polnan Wed 05-May-21 10:44:56

lol, all those deleted messages, I want to know what could possibly be said in a bad way about a sleep spray!

me? I would like someone to give me the link so I can consider buying some,, please?

icanhandthemback Wed 05-May-21 10:37:21

How lovely of your husband and how lovely to have a post praising your husband. ❤️

Katyj Tue 04-May-21 16:52:28

Oh dragonfly that’s lovely too. It is the small things that make a big difference. Hope you feel better soon flowers
The sleep spray does help me sleep, I don’t use it every night, only if i feel stressed and have a lot on my mind. At the moment mum isn’t very well so lots to worry about.

crazyH Tue 04-May-21 16:46:35

Namsnanny....it didn’t help me, but then everyone is different. It may help you

dragonfly46 Tue 04-May-21 16:45:00

Back to the OP - that is lovely Katy I hope it cheered you up. My OH makes me laugh. Since I have been ill when I am cooking or doing anything he comes out and asks if he can help. We have been married 54 years and has never done it before - it is kind of sweet though.

Katyj Tue 04-May-21 16:40:42

Oh no what have I missed ?

FannyCornforth Tue 04-May-21 13:27:54

annodomini two and a half hours those posts have been up

annodomini Tue 04-May-21 12:02:53

HQ must be receiving multiple reports and it's about time they did something about them.

Namsnanny Tue 04-May-21 11:40:26

Here we go again, this is getting boring .

Before this thread is shut down can anyone tell me if this spray actually helps fall asleep?
