    I just wanted to say i had read some of your diary, and watched the programme last night. No one could fail to be moved by the whole experience.


    All the best to you and your boys, and i wish you a happy and peaceful new year.

    Have just watched a recording of the programme. Fantastic ! There was an unbelivable amount of work done with a wonderful result. Well done everyone.

    I'd love to know how Mike and the boys are now, has he updated anywhere? Or can he ? I hope life is finally being kind to you Mike

    Love and hugs

    Mike and the boys will be back on to say hello when they make it back down to earth ;).

    Been off the forums for a bit for various reasons, but did get to see the show (quite surprised I ended up with a speaking part though).

    Had a spare hour to kill so I've converted & uploaded it for those that want to download it.
    It is a 460MB download, so those afflicted with an ISP that doesn't know the true meaning of the word "unlimited" may want to think twice before downloading.

    You can get it >HERE<

    PS
    To the well wishers (you know who you are)....many thanks.

    Good to see you posting KillerWatt :T

    Not sure why your were surprised to get a speaking part, you did a mighty amount of work! On my second run through I was laughing at you, Billy and the drill - somehow missed that first time through. I know it was very hard work and long days but it was fun too wasn't it!?!

    Wishing you health and happiness for 2011

    Watched the pogramme last night with OH - who didn't know any of the back story and normally loathes DIY SOS! Even he was appalled (by what the builder had done), touched (by what the Mob and the Littlehampton community did) and impressed (by the end result) in equal measure. Great job, team.

    Hoping that 2011 is a good year for you all, not least for Mike and the boys.
  • Evening all!! So, I've eventually got round to watching it!! Sorry couldn't join in last night, but just caught up on all the chat before posting!!

    Mike/Jack/Sam - the house is actually awesome!! I'm well jealous! I remember looking at the pictures you posted a long time ago thinking how bad it was and how we were all sharing your experience, trying to help you along, but all the time not really being able to do the one thing that would make the biggest change - getting the house fixed! Now look!! I'm just amazed what the support of people like you/us can do, (some more-so than others - I'm looking at SB in particular).

    I'm not the most emotional at the best of times, but I had a wee lump in my throat at parts, and maybe a wee tear (don't tell anyone) - I can't even begin to imagine what it must have been like for you!

    How's things going now? Life/health getting better??

    You guys are all amazing!

    All the best for 2011!! Happy New Year!!!

    Roberto.
