    HI EVERYONE!!!!!

    Just been on facebook and saw that Mike's Mob was on TV via Martin's profile so only managed to catch the last 10 mins. Brought a tear to my eye!

    SORRY it's been so long since i came online but i have been inundated with a deadline for University and it has been really stressful. :A

    Will post another time but please don't think i have forgotten you kind folk. Hope you all had a good christmas. I am spending New Year in the North Sea with alcohol- free beer with the Tigers/ Bears!!

    Happy New Year/ Hogmanay to all of you Mobsters!!

    LOVE TO ALL XXXXX :beer:
    :mad: Hindsight is a wonderful thing...
    :j One of Mike's Mob! yea!!!

    Mike, I "met" you on another site but we haven't spoken for a while. Just watched the programme. So glad it all turned out so wonderfully!

    Bye for now and take care, Tracy

    Having now seen the amount of work involved, I can completely understand how overwhelming and soul destroying it must have been, trying to face that alone. I'm so glad things have had a happy ending, life can only get better from here on in for Mike and his boys.

    Well done to Mike's Mob, you should all be very proud of yourselves, you're clearly very good people.

    Mike what a beautiful, beautiful home. I hope you and your boys are truly happy there for many years to come.

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    What an amazing hour.

    It was an honour and a privilege to be a part of it. Thank you to the BBC, the DIY SOS Team, all the local trades people but most of all the Mike's Mob Team for letting me be a part of it.

    The programme finished and I am still sitting here with leaking eyes...can't believe I have become so emotional over it all.

    Everyone should be so proud of their involvement in this.

    I sat there thinking "I can't let the wife see me welling up!!"

    House is beautiful Mike! You've got my kitchen sink......for god's sake never pour paint stripper or bleach on it.....not that I've done that on mine. Oh no...not me.

    I really, really love that wine glass light.

    Stunning. Well done to you and a big well done to Mike's Mob!
