    Well, I am in Germany so couldnt watch the show (hoping it is on Iplayer when I get home) I have been thinking about Mike and his mob all day. Just came on to see how it went. Sounds to me like Kleenex will have done a good business.
    Mike, hope that you are not too overwhelmed. Well done everybody for the posts and I feel like I should be crying but I will wait for that next week. One way or another I will get to see the show I have been waiting for.

    Very proud to have the ability to share internet time with such wonderful people who can support others rather than just passing judgement. Thank you.

  • I didn't cry, honestly I didn't :'(

    It was lovely. Wonderful to see you so happy Mike!

    (And the house looked beautiful too xx)

    Sorry if this has been asked (but the previous threads are manhoosive!) but was there any progress with the old builder? Did Mike get any of his money back?

    And more importantly has he been named and shamed several times over the years so that no one else ever hires him?

    Firstly, my thanks to Nicola (niccatw) for letting me appear on her show...


    Hey, that all turned out rather well, didn't it? I enjoyed it, anyway!

    Have read all posts so far and we're feeling very happy, very grateful, and very lucky.

    Will come back when the phone stops ringing...!
