Tomorrow, I shall be sending a packet of treats to the guide dog whose owner thinks I'm 'hot'...

Feeling a bit vulnerable after exposing my problems, health and financial record, plus details of my sons, and interior shots of my house to nine million people! People staring into the kitchen through the window is rather unnerving even if you're immaculately dressed and adopting a pose, as I do usually (he lied).

Not so great when you're sitting in your dressing gown eating toast.

I did wonder about that. It must be overwhelming - do you feel like running off and going on holiday?

But I guess it'll die down soon.

No guarantees you won't still get people staring at you in your dressing gown but that will be because of your afore-mentioned hot-ness!

I know what you mean. You have nothing to worry about, I thought you came across really well and the house looked great.

Not quite so much fun then.

Maybe pull the blinds until you are ready to meet your public? :cool: Or eat in the Orangery?

I'm sure it will die down soon. Personally I just want to slap them and say where were you when he needed help, betcha just walked right on past then saying what a state the house was in :eek:

I do think the programme spent more time concentrating on the state Paul Bridle of Horsham had left you in and made it sound as though that had led to the other issues - and there really is no shame in that! None of us would have been able to live in the conditions you did for as long as you did without having some serious problems.

And if Jack and Sam are getting similar attention I hope it is either from the opposite sex realising what wonderful lads they are or someone wanting to buy them a beer and pat them on the back for being amazing in the way that they have helped to pull you through

You're definitely on my Christmas card list.

I actually feel I must be here while there's so much interest. Also still replying to e-mails. And I don't want to come back and find someone's nicked me Betamax VCR. Or the roof...

That's encouraging... so this feeling goes after a while?

I can't wait!

I get the impression that they are all girls, but their existing male friends are fairly impressed!

well for what it's worth I think you came across as someone who had ten ton of crap dumped on him, more than most people would be able to cope with and still managed to keep going. Who was strong enough to never give up hope and ask for help at his lowest point but even braver to accept that help when it came forward. And as someone who has 2 very lovely sons who are a credit to him.

Oh and in my 17yr old daughters words "oooh who are they???" (me) why? "just wondering" (big grin) = she thought they are both good looking lads lol
