    I cried and cried through this.

    What I love most is the hope it gives. I remember how low you were at the beginning Mike and look how things have turned out. It just goes to show there are good and kind people in the world. :A:T

    That's worth remembering.

    Fab programme, fab house! What a joy to see such a nightmare transformed by the good efforts of so many people.

    So pleased for you and your lovely sons Mike. Now the prog's finished I need to go find a hankie or three!

    All the best for a healthy and happy 2011,

    Thanks, Groatie. You too.

    Dunno about you ladies and gentlemen - but that was the absolute tip top of the charts for my Christmas viewing...... even with DS1 running about supplying me with tissues.

    Thanks Elaine.

    (And just to avoid misunderstanding, my lum does not reek since I got that new cream.)

    Absolutely gorgeous!!! Outstanding!

    Mike i cried from start to finish (i cry too much dont i lol!) I am so proud to have followed you from the very start and am so proud of everyone on here who have helped you albeit over the pc. To those who managed to help you in real life - well done and thank you for taking time to show Mike what true friends/people are.
    My parents called as it finished to say how much you deserve that and how wonderful your home is.

    Your parents are indeed wise. Now mop those eyes...
