    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!!

  • 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!

    Oh & huge thanks to SouthernBelle for reminding me to watch tonight xx

  • So who was I watching then? Be lovely to put names to faces, and when did Mike 'come out' as a man? I'm re reading but only up to page 8 and he's still Lisa there!!!

    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 xx

    My my my my, that was fan-flipping-tastic! What a great way to end the year for mike and the boys :D

    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 :o
