    Nothing new there then. What was that Xmas cake thing all about? If you haven't had time to make one, go out and buy one with icing already on. I think I could have worked that out myself actually Kirstie.:rolleyes: But there's a further twist. Then decorate the bought iced cake yourself with lots of dots and call it "Homemade".:rotfl::rotfl: Kirstie darling .... wouldn't you save a few pennies by buying one completely decorated and also save yourself a lot of time & effort.

    Who in their right money-saving mind would go and buy a glass bauble for their tree costing £20? How the other half live hey?
  • Also had to laugh at the home-made Christmas cards - "if you haven't got a press....."!!!! And the repeats within the programme!! - how many times did we see the glass-blowing before she actually did it? A half-hour programme (at most!) strung out to an hour! And then she didn't show us how to make the swag!
  • It was advertised as festive decorating ideas that won't cost the earth :eek: I could never afford to buy a glass bauble that cost £20.

    I did enjoy watching the programme though and will tune in for the other two.

    these programmes are never made for the people who watch them! I shall have to tweet George Clarke from the home show and get him to do a programme for real people!

    I love watching these programmes but could never afford most of the stuff.
    I loved the baubles but even before I was skint I wouldn't pay 20 quid for them especially not with 2 kids, 2 cats and a dog in the house :eek:

    I'm sure alot of people would love Kirstie's house, I would but I don't see "the look" working in the middle of the ex council estate I live in :rolleyes: :rotfl:
