Just watched the old stylers on Telly

I loved the show and everyone came over really well - especially Martin of course! Wish it had been an hour long though cos I was just getting into it and it ended I also used to cut the feet off babygrows years ago, and while the programme was on I was knitting grandson some woolie boots to hide where I have chopped his botttoms off Lets hope there are more of these shows asap.

Hi Soappie thank for your thanks, just to change the subject is that your little doggie in your pic, if so he/she is very like our little old lady lucy who is loosly a sussex type spaniel although had terrier parents

Hi Nanna, yes, that's my dog - known on here as Beffy Boo - she's a pedigree English springer spaniel and is just adorable (but I'm biased!) she was 9 at the end of June but she's still kept her puppy looks (I'm thinking of renaming her Dorian Gray and telling everyone that it's the picture in the attic that's getting older!)

And I think the washing of the hair in the water butt ain't such a bad idea - in many parts of this country, rain water is softer and less chemically treated than tap water!

it was a good introductory programme, but i second the idea that it was too short. well done everyone! bravo Martin!

Just back from Tesco and nearly hit a fox on the way, but I don't have a fox recipe either :rotfl::rotfl:

Is not having a fox recipe the reason you didn't hit the fox?

I have an image of you driving along and thinking "There's a fox, I don't have a recipe for that" then swerving

I have 3 older sisters. Back in the 70's when we were teenagers they washed their hair in rain water and swore it made their hair softer.

sorry to be a bore and that, but does Martin pronounce "consumer" as con-shhoooo-mer ?

well done everyone involved in the programme....haven't looked forward to watching telly like i did tonight in a long time!!!
I do have to lend my weight to the idea that it was abit 'jumpy' from tip to tip-i do get the idea of cramming the info in but i think its such a gem of an idea...and a timely one at that....that it could well make a great series giving each family abit more time to share their ideas-thats what makes MSE so great for me,i can flick through and read all the different topics and tips that interest me and relate to my family,infact i found the OS thread by accident (well nosiness....i hadnt popped into that thread coz i thought it didnt apply to me.....WRONG!!!) and now i batch cook,sew things,make gel smellies,use a slow cooker,make bean can christmas cakes,use vinegar like its the 8th wonder of the world.....and im a 29yr old mum of 3 young girls not exactly a candidate for OS (i really didnt think it would apply to our family as no-ones ever shown me how to 'make do and mend' so im glad to eat my hat and say thank you OS'ers!!) ITS SAVED ME FORTUNES..and gives me a sense of motherly pride money couldnt buy when ive spent a day filling my freezer with homemade chicken kievs and have a double batch of twinks honobs ready for the girls comming out of school:D
Ive waffled,i know,but im passionate about getting the message out to younger families that we waste too much and shows like this can really educate in an exciting way,Martin you know what makes a good show,i hope you agree and push for a series-how about ditching ITV and getting a slot on the one show on BBC...then doing a spin off once you get everyone hooked ( rouge traders,watchdog...MSE A'n'E,lol)
well done everyone.............lets have a series :beer:

Or if you're a night owl it's on ITV in the small hours of Saturday at 02:55am..

Sorry for any confusion but I got this wrong - it's actually repeated at 2.55am on the 19th. Will edit the original post to correct it.
