    Wow! What an end result, if only they would take on Mike and The Dolls House.

    I do hope that you are happy with your home now and can put these last 2 years behind you.

    Aaaaawwwwww! I missed most of it! Anyone know if it'll be repeated?

    Was that your house Pebby?

    Looked fab anyway at the end.

    Hope all is well with everyone. Just nipped in to say Hi really but have to go again now!

    Oh! I cheered when the plane touched down in Newcastle! How sad am I?! lol I was searching the skies as I drove home from work to see if anything was coming in or going out of Birmingham - nothing! Spooky!

    See you later maybe.

    glad things are looking up Mike. Remember when getting the producers interested its a competition- You have to win!. Think about what it is they are looking for (and give it to them in bucket loads) and make their job as easy as possible.
    see you all later 8pm Channel 5!

    Hey, well done to you and your family! It's all so familiar, but the programme makers did a good job on the story, and Larkin came out looking like a total idiot. It will stop a few people using him anyway. If he stopped 'working' there's always someone waiting to replace him, so we need to think about this stuff when we deal with anyone on these big ticket jobs. I pity the next person who tries to get any payment in advance from you!

    Your family all deserved a happy outcome and the bits of your finished house they showed looked really nice and well finished.

    Best wishes to you and well done for getting through it.

    It should be on Five On Demand after a few hours.
  • thanks to all of you for your comments and messages of support. Yes its repeated - tommorrow at 9 on fiver and then again on sunday early afternoon on 5 and later on fiver I think. And it will be on the internet at demand 5.

    The house it mostly done now- just 2 more big jobs to do but we've been living like a normal family since about November so are well practice now at putting it behind us. Sticking together has been our secret I think. Oh, and for the record....I paid him £70k and DO NOT OWE HIM ANY MONEY! (sorry for shouting!)
    Sleep tight everyone and for those of you in the same situation- dont give up hope and maintain your dignity.

    My great granma used to say, if god doesn't call going, he calls coming back! I think Joe Larkin got his call today dont you?
