    So, I go away for a few weeks and received a PM today to find out that DIY SOS are going to fix the house. That is bl00dy fantastic! :T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T

    So when's the party??:j

    WELL, I'VE BLOODY WELL PEE'D MYSELF NOW!!!

    Mike - Congratulations!!! That's actually amazing!!! I knew they'd accept - it's telly gold - but June?? 2010?? That's incredible! Makes me actually glad I pay my TV license!! After it's shown on telly, I'll go back to moaning about paying it every month...but until then...YEE-EFFING-HA!!! Haha!!!
    Isn't it going to be so weird not breathing in dust, and not being cold?? More-so for when the boys visit. They've got asthma, right? I didn't just make that up?
    Also - I don't think my wee Honda would make it to Littlehampton (8 hours 22 minutes by car, and walking...well, type in to google maps "Glasgow" to "Littlehampton", select "walking" and see the LOL's for yourself!! 3 days, taking a ferry to Belgium, then one back to the UK, then one to France, and back to the UK?? I don't think so!!).

    I would totally be up for being interview. I was made to be on TV. I was going to apply for Adrian Chiles' job on The One Show now he's gone, but after re-watching the YouTube video a few pages back - seeing that Zainab from Easties face on pause put me off going on it...my face always looks like that in photos...I'll try radio instead!!

    Southernbelle - you absolute star once again!!!
    For all those who don't know - I've not been around for a bit...too busy, not well, work, work, work! haha...and this angel kept me up to date via e-mail - giving up her free time to keep me up to date so I wasn't missing out!
    I just heard that one winner won 80-odd million quid on the Lottery last night...SB - I hope it was you!! You deserve it!
    So does Mike, but you only get a home makeover, or 80 million...not both!! haha!!!

    Hey to everyone else I've not mentioned either - Miggy/Niccatw (Tablet?? Yes please)/Surby/Happy but to name a few.

    Hows your weekend going???
    Hope it's as quiet as mine...I am so relaxed today, I'm practically sleep-typing!! ;)
    No expert, No money, No problem!! :j

    While you're towelling yourself down, Bob... yes, it's utterly brilliant news.

    No, I can't imagine ever being warm or dust-free again! It was Sam's asthma that worried me. Being able to have him here and not be worried about that is fab.

    Interviewees needed -if you could drop me a message as per earlier popst, I'll forward them all to the producer for decision. Put a phone number on if possible.

    Yep, SB's a star.

    So, should anyone be daft enough to volunteer to be interviewed for the TV programme what sort of things would we want said about MSE and this thread in particular.......

    - How Mike seemed to have been in the depths of despair when he first posted and how the support online each day pulled him through and made him prepared to fight for a better future

    - Southernbelle has to have a special mention as she did a sterling job in rallying the troupe's for the email onslaught

    other suggestions?

    Cheapest "no frills airline" Glasgow - Southampton £101... not that I've been investigating ;). Your Honda's probably got more chance than my Fiesta Spierso :D. Too scared to check train prices, they are bound to be ridiculous!

    Mike, assuming producers will ask Martin for a comment? If not, maybe we need to get in touch with him again to let him know comments specific to MSE are wanted. I doubt he'd have a problem with it, but I guess it's just common courtesy :).

    Will reply to PMs as soon as I've had 12 hours sleep ;). Night all.

    If thats too much then £42 return to London Stansted then a 2.5 hour road trip in my little car, and voila... we are there!!
