  • I have had both this book and also her new Christmas book from the library,and enjoyed reading both of them but didn't really learn anything from them. More what I would call 'flick through' books.

    I've got the Anthea Turner one, the Kim and Aggie one, and quite a few besides, but the one I would recommend is Home Comforts which is here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Home-Comforts-Science-Keeping-House/dp/0304356247/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1227374909&sr=8-2

    When I search for that book I get the URL below

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Home-Comforts-Science-Keeping-House/dp/0304356247

    Slightly different to your URL. If the ref=sr_1_2 in your link your referral ID? And do you get money if anyone buys it through your link?
  • I learned how to fold towels from Anthea's programme, unfortunately I still don't ever get the hoover or duster out. But I have lovely towels....

    Thats funny I fold everything now like towels, teatowels, pillow slips and flat sheets like she did on the show. I have tried the folding t shirt trick but cant get that right.

    I've got all three ('How To Be The Perfect Housewife'; 'Entertain In Style'; and the latest 'The Perfect Christmas').

    :o

    I collect housekeeping books, what can I say?

    The best housekeeping book on the market is Cheryl Mendelson's Home Comfort, which I prefer over the Anthea books.

    However, the Anthea Turner: Perfect Housewife DVDs are great motivational pieces that keep you moving while cleaning....

    Okay, I have them as well. :o

    This is my first post - so please be kind!:hello:

    Kind regards.
    :hello:

    Ha! Yes I do that too - oh, I'm a disciple, practically...

    Now where is that hoover, I'm sure I left it somewhere around.

    No not at all! I must have a cookie or something I didn't know about. :mad: I'll change my link to the 'clean' one. Sorry about that.

    In any case, whoever's it is won't earn from amazon market place, I don't think.

  • Thanks for the advice everyone. I think I may take a look at it in the library first. I already have the Kim and Aggie books but I like Anthea's approach better I think, from the TV show anyway.
    I'm so sorry if you were enjoying this thread and mine is the last post!!

    I seem to have a nasty habit of killing threads!
    :p
  • As this has fallen from the front page of Old Style, I'll add it to the existing Perfect Housewife thread, where the book has some more discussion :D
