I've just watched the show too, and was totally in awe of the goodness of the MSE folk yet again. I remember them helping me about 3 years ago and their support was second to none, so I can appreciate how you must feel having help from your 'online' friends.
Your house looks fantastic Mike! I really hope that life goes well for you and the boys from now on - here's to a fab 2011!!Christians Against Poverty - www.capuk.org0 -
Well done Mike & your mob what a fantastic house!!!
& what amazing boys, you must be so proud of them.
It's just amazing to see how people can pull together & has definitely restored my faith in human nature!

I must thank SouthernBelle who sent me a PM about tonight's DIY SOS. I did manage to watch it and thought of Mike and his boys and of MSE. This is the first time in months that I have been on the forum (too much time working on my business and not giving thought to anyone or anything else so apologies for that). Can I confess that I was a tad tearful and I am so pleased that everything turned out well.
Mike - your little house is amazing. :j
Just wanted to wish you, your boys and the MSE Mob a Very Happy New Year xx0 -

Have to say though, that when the camera got me stuffing my face with cake I nearly died! Looked very fat and very very scruffy
Proud of who, and what, I am. :female::male::cool:0
