Please advise - it's all gone SO wrong

Hi Dancing Fairy. I have just booked into Arun Sands Hotel on Mike's road for £35 a night for the reveal day. Rest of the time I will drive with Butti who is staying with me. I looked at Travel Lodge too, too dear!!

We should all think of wearing name tags. It will be fun. Janet

Hi niccatw - What day are you driving down?

When I was looking at the West Sussex websight I saw that National Express coaches come into Littlehampton from Victoria Bus Station in London.

Hi Mike

I haven't logged on to here for a while, but have just received an email from DIY SOS with the fantastice news about your house!

I am absolutely over the moon for you, and cannot believe the power of this website.

Well done to everyone, and especially well done to you Mike, it's only what you deserve.

I'm not sure about 'deserving' but if someone's being featured, it might as well be my sons, who have put up with so much rubbish over the past two years.

Wow, :eek: What can I say!!
I only discovered this thread last night (from niccatw, thanks soo much!). No, I haven't read it all (yet!) Have managed to read the first 20-odd pages, then the last 20 or so. Such a sad, amazing and inspirational thread.

Congratultaions Mike on what you have managed to achieve in the past three months :T So glad you will be getting your "new" house, at long last.

I will no doubt catch up eventually of all the twists and turns in the next few days.

Just wanted to say a few words today:

This thread shows that there are loads of people in the world (or at least here on MSE!) who are wonderful, helpful and supportive. It is these people who make the world a better place, and allow others to stand up to and recover from the devastation caused by the b*****ds of this world.

Thank you MSEers, you are wonderful!!:j :T

I can only agree... there are lots of lovely people around. Most people in fact.

Awww, SB, now you're going to make me cry too .



For all of us who need them! And, let's face it, you can't beat a big bear hug!

I'm toying with the idea of just driving. I used to do the drive to Leicester every weekend and it never bothered me... I can just pretend it a wee bit further down the road...

Only thing stopping me is that I won't be able to drink any champagne at the big reveal as I need to get back up the road on the Friday.... :think: :think: :think: :rotfl:

Champagne? That's it - I'm coming too.

I've just spoken to Christine. She is lovely .

I think I might just drive... so any-one en route between Glasgow to the other end of the country, feel free to PM me! Bear in mind I've only a Fiesta though

Is there a youth hostel nearby we could take over for the duration? There's bound to be something we can work out!

Mike - how are you feeling? I'm feeling sick with nerves and excitement! I can only imagine you are feeling tenfold what I am.

I passed 'sick' days ago...!

Dear Mike

I think we are all feeling a bit queasy now the ball is rolling. Christine has asked me to come to Littlehampton for an interview next Thursday if needed. I have been glued to this machine all day, arrangements for you and for a proposed holiday in Spain in July. I have square eyes and a sore bum.

I am putting Butti up for the duration. I have more space and offered it to niccatw on her way thru - that's a long drive from Glasgow. Have you any idea how many are coming now?

Oooh! An interviewee! I wonder who else they're talking to? I won't know for months... I bet you are excited then.

Thanks for your accommodation of the masses. I bet it'll be a giggle. There's no way I can be involved in the logistics, as I'm having trouble with my own. I think I will be doing some filming next week with both or one of the boys, who have also been rung. They're here this weekend so I shall find out more. They are under threat of no more Chinese buffets if they tell me any secrets.

Should preliminary structural work be needed on the house, I am decamping asap, as I know what effect cutting concrete blocks has on the rest of the house and contents. That could start next week too.
