    Hi Mike

    Did anyone talk to you before starting work on what colours you like and more importantly you don't like, or is it purely left to them to choose?

    I think they probably asked him... but the forum is taking over and previous posts detail the tartan wallpaer and the pinky-mauve with orange stripes paintwork, the mosaic tiles (apparently a particular favourite so we know Mike will love those), indoor sculpture and the sand-blasted skip being installed as a hot tub under the hole it accidentally made through both floors... (I can mention these as they have already come to light despite our best attempts at secrecy). Oh, and the footie mural outdoors.

    Can't wait to see the photos!

    (BTW welcome to the thread to all you new people :))

    Yeah, Can't imagine why?! Who would they do the big reveal for? Neville? :rotfl:

    My skills - such as they are - are at your disposal my lovely. :D

    You have my complete attention.

    Morning Everyone,
    Firstly Mike, thank you for re-posting the YouTube link. You know what I've found helps? Turning up the volume on your laptop. Sooo... moving swiftly on..
    I have added Nick Knowles & Julia to my Twitter & I read here that Billy has been seen at the local supermarket, honestly - what did I do before I discovered this thread? (Cash in the flippin' Attic, thats what..) Anyway, I am now concerned about Neville & his what I'm sure is a large & increasing family. Where will his space be in the big reveal? Not in the BBQ I hope?
    The other thing I was thinking Mike was that you have shown that you have a penchant for disguise.. Have you thought about maybe togging up & strolling past your property - just see how far you get? Maybe Mata Hari? Rolf Harris? Or my own personal favourite, Toulouse Lautrec? Go on, you know you want to....!!!
    Have a lovely day everybody.
    Sxxx:)

    Hmmm, plenty to think about there...!

    Rolf Harris? Why? I could do Toulouse and just wear a long coat and kneepads...

    Cash in the attic? That's, like, so ten years ago. Get hip to the beat daddyo.

    You talk the talk, but looking ahead a week when all these ladies are standing around and someone shouts "There's Neville!" it will be interesting to see if anyone's left not standing on a chair. "Tharmas! Tharmas!"

    I was asked, probably just as a courtesy, and said my ideal habitat is stone, smooth white walls, intense spots of bright primary colour and brushed steel and aluminium.

    Which it is.

    So could go any which way!

    I was off filming with my many showbiz pals today at a local primary school which was having a gardening morning with kids and parents. Took me back a few years. These events are really good fun even if you don't have celebrities helping out. Or me.

    I am now back under lock and key in [STRIKE]Siberia[/STRIKE] Horsham.

    I'm next allowed out on Wednesday filming with my sons in Southampton, then that's it.

    Apart from Friday.


    Immodium, please...
