I'm so pleased you're going to get the home you deserve at last. :j Can't wait to see the program when it goes out on tv. Good luck with the filming.

The council dude's here tomorrow morning to give it the once over. I'm sure everyone gets the same treatment even if the beeb's not planning to interview them...

Not!

I've worked for council's most of my working life and like you I'm quite sure they don't. I'm sure your house is on the top of the pile with a gold star attached to it along with the people who have got their MPs to intervene.

The other good thing is Mike, if they send anyone out during filming you can bet it willl be one of their most senior people so the advice will be spot on.

I will be available for most of the week. I won't be available (Boo-hoo) for the big reveal and quaffing of champagne. I will need somewhere to stay if anyone in the vicinity has a comfortable floor.

OK people... here we go.

I am delighted to tell you that I had a call from DIY SOS this afternoon, telling me that they have decided to feature me on The Big Build.

They have offered to finish the whole house, and they need to begin work and filming on June 9th. The project will take 10 days.

So first, - WOW!

Second, thank you to everyone on here for your support in all sorts of ways. Thank you also to the 100+ MSErs who clinched it by writing en masse to the programme in support of my application.

I don't really know what to say! This is the best possible outcome to my housing problem, and the effect on my boys and myself will be immeasurable.

Two of the DIY SOS team (not the bald one, surbybird, take your coat off) will be here next week to talk details and dates, and ask what I might like done decoratively. I was bowled over last week when someone gave me a small roll of carpet! I am sure my simple needs (hot tub, sauna and home cinema) will be more than met.

This is such a result for us all...

I will find out on Wednesday if they want people to be around to help the crew and be filmed and interviewed and when. This is optional! But it would be great if as many of you as possible can take part somehow and be on t'telly.


The housewarming I promised is still going to happen...

... it's just going to be about three years earlier than I thought.



Thank you all.

We would love to come and see you and your new home for the reveal, not sure what i could do to help tbh DIY is not my stronger skill lol!

Well done everyone xxx

Well done - not been here for a while, thought i'd check in and was surprised to see sooooooo many developments.

So was this done via the emails to S Knight (the details I gave you last month?) - if so - RESULT :T

never-in-doubt

Oooops, sorry to be so rude!

A huge hello :hello::hello::hello: to all the other posters that I so rudely ignored (saving/puredead/southern/etc etc) and to everyone else I didn't name!

Hope you all have a great weekend :beer:
