We’ve approved a further two shopping sites to The Catalogue Site this month and we are certain that you’ll approve.

Just like shopping in ‘the real world’, after a few hours of tireless bargain hunting, it’s nice to have a bite to eat and a little bit of ‘you’ time.
This month, because the weather is so poor, we’re suggesting a wonderful comforting snack.

Welsh Rarebit
(Serves 2 - comfortably)

Ingredients:

25g/1oz butter
25g/1oz flour
150m / 5fl oz milk
175g /6 oz cheddar cheese, grated
1 tsp English mustard
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper
2 egg yolks
4 slices of toast

Method:
1. Mix the butter and flour over a medium heat into a roux, and leave to cool.
2. Bring the milk to the boil, then whisk it into the roux. Bring to the boil once again, whisking to ensure that it does not burn and also that the sauce is free of lumps.
3. Add the cheese, beat in and remove from the heat.
4. When thick, add the English mustard and Worcestershire sauce to the cheese sauce. Season well with salt and pepper and beat in the egg yolks.
5. Spoon on to the slices of toast and grill until bubbling. Serve with extra Worcestershire sauce splashed on top.

Enjoy.

Until next time, happy shopping.

Take a Break
Just like shopping in ‘the real world’, after a few hours of tireless bargain hunting, it’s nice to have a bite to eat and a little bit of ‘you’ time. This month we’re suggesting a decadent dessert.

Very quick ‘Eton Mess’
(Serves 1 - very comfortably)

Ingredients:
6 to 8 fresh strawberries - with their hats off.
1 or 2 meringues (ready made… don’t call me a cheat!)
4 oz of fresh cream
1 small drizzle of honey (optional)
1 oz of chopped nuts (optional)

Method:
Break up the meringues into small pieces and place into a dessert bowl.
Chop the strawberries in half and arrange neatly on top of the broken meringues.
Pour the fresh cream all over and finish off with a drizzle of honey and chopped nuts (optional)

Enjoy.

We told you it was quick!

As you’re being smart and shopping from the comfort of your armchair, why don’t you really spoil yourself and have a small glass of chardonnay to wash down your dessert. (but you never heard us say that)

Until next time, happy shopping.

Newsletter No.1 May 2008

Monthly Newsletters No Comments

Newsletter No.1 May 2008

Welcome to the debut issue of The Catalogue Site Monthly Newsletter.
First things first, to all of you who have shopped with us over the last twelve months, a big thank you.

We hope you’re happy with your purchases and were able to take advantage of the many discounts and special offers our site puts at your fingertips. Once again, thank you.
For those of you yet to shop with us, here’s the lowdown on precisely what The Catalogue Site is, and what it can do for you.

Essentially, we are the online equivalent of a shopping centre, with over 50 top stores all under one virtual roof. Think of the advantages of a ‘real world’ shopping centre in terms of leg work, and The Catalogue Site gives you precisely the same convenience online. No trawling through site after site. Plus, you can be confident that we don’t invite just anybody under our
roof.

All our stores are vetted and scrutinised to ensure they meet our high expectations in terms of customer experience and great offers.

Trinny and Susannah
Shop with Great Universal, Additions Direct, Marshall Ward and Littlewoods Direct, and you’ll receive free style advice from the nation’s favourite fashion gurus

In their bid to ensure that every man and woman in the country dresses well, Trinny and Susannah have come up with some new bodyshape descriptions. “Over and over again we have heard women asking advice on multiple issues. Finally the penny dropped, we realised that the traditional definitions of pear, apple, hourglass and triangle were too limiting. So we embarked on an intensive study period.
We broke down, pulled apart, inspected, dissected, segregated, and redefined the thousands of female bodies we have come across. Our research revealed the twelve definitive female shapes.”
So now we have ‘the cello’, ‘the skittle’ and ‘the brick’, amongst others.
The online stores of Great Universal, Additions Direct, Marshall Ward and Littlewoods Direct all include a ‘Body Shape Calculator’, so you can identify the kind of body you have and then, with the expert help of Trinny and Susannah, you can dress to flatter your figure and bring your finest features to the fore. You can even find out which celebrity you most physically resemble (from the neck down, anyway).
Angelina Jolie, falls into ‘The Lollipop’ category - big bust, slight waist, slim hips, long legs.
Catherine Zeta-Jones, conforms to ‘The Goblet’ body shape - broad shoulders, big bust, no waist, narrow hips, long legs. Nicole Kidman ticks the box for
‘The Column’ - shoulder width same as hip width, slight waist and longer legs.
Whatever your body shape - even if you fall into one of the less flattering categories (and Trinny and Susannah or nothing if not brutally honest about these thing) - the nation’s favourite fashion gurus can match you up with an outfit that will complement your figure perfectly.

Great Deals and Savings!
Here are just a few of the many fantastic offers that can be effortlessly navigated to from The Catalogue Site.
A couple of clicks and you’re saving money!

Marks & Spencer have got some great offers on wine at the moment. A case of 6 Kaituna Hills Rosé 2006 has been reduced from £43.16 to £27.68. That’s about £4.62 for a bottle. This wine is a fresh and vibrantly fruity rosé made from Pinot Noir grapes. It’s aromatic, with juicy, ripe notes of cherry, strawberry and raspberry and a mouth-watering off-dry finish.
