    The only programme that ever did a proper job was that DIY SOS. The rest were bodge artists of the lowest order.

    Yes I would let them in my house

    AND remember that one that Carol Vorderman did?

    That one did a good job too.

    Wouldn't let any of the other bodget'n'blunders TV in my home:eek: :eek: :eek:

    Thing is GDB....You, more than anyone, know that there is no such thing as a free lunch....or a freebie makeover without a bit of humiliation from the presenter......it's part of the show.;)

    Oh don't get me wrong. I'm up for a spot of humiliation if they'll do my house up for me for nothing. But I'm not going to pay to be humiliated - I'll leave that to Mosley.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. The one where you showed us Dithering Dad is a complete liar. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE Forum Team

    I suppose if you are like me and totally devoid of design talent (the only thing I can design is a mess, as my family will testify) you might like a few of their ideas, which you can then "do" with a proper finish once they've gone away.....so at least, free interior design advice!

    you need to be selective. i saw an episode of that one were the scouse bird off brookside comes round with 50 reprobates and spends half an hour doing your house up.

    they spruced up the bathroom by painting the tiles a different colour. nice.
