    SO SUPERB THE TRANSFORMATION.

    Cant believe that there are so many supportive people in your local community, and when helps needed suddenly it all comes together.

    Someone asked about the kitchen light fitting - TESCO sell it via there website, 208-7012 and its advertised in the book as £120

    Hope that helps some of you.

    HAPPY NEW YEAR TO MIKE AND EVERYONE

    And may karma find and repay fully the cowboy builder that originally caused the problem, as the old saying goes. What goes around comes around - maybe someone will successfully rip him off and demoralise him in the same manner (or worse!!)

    Hope you all saw in the New Year in style.... we were at a little gathering where guests were talking about DIY SOS - how weird was that especially when OH said I had been involved:o!! Here's hoping that 2011 will be kind to us all. Thanks for email SB. Billie xx

    Happy New Year to Mike, your lovely sons, the fabulous Mike's Mob and everyone else here! :j

    This story is up there with the Chilean miners for giving me such a warm fuzzy feeling inside! I love happy endings! :)

    So what's next for Mike's Mob ... will you be hiring yourself for out as professional cheerer-uppers?!
    Trying to spend less time on MSE so I can get more done ... it's not going great so far! :)
    Sorry if I don't reply to posts - I'm having MAJOR trouble keeping up these days!

    I watched it again yesterday with my 11 year old daughter and I explained to her what strangers/forum can do and it set me off blubbing again *rollseyes* LOL x

    When I thank a post in a thread I've not posted in,
    it means that I agree with that post and have nothing further to add.

    Could someone pass the cheesy sprouts please?
    I've brought crisps and a tin of Roses, any takers? No booze for me thanks but I've got a bucket of tea that will do nicely.

    Have been hunting through in case anyone remembered the Rennies... had to go and get a packet in the end... anyone? :D
