    Been working in Cork all week and got home to a lovely surprise from DirtyEpic, a beautifully presented DVD of DIY SOS :T:T:T:T Thank you soooo much, there will be a little something on it's way to you soon to say thank you properly :D

    Yay for getting the car through the MOT and I need to get myself to Lidl for some of that - the water here is beyond hard, it almost comes out the tap as chalk.:(

    Can't believe the hours some of you are keeping, don't you have beds to go to? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    So I will just have to accept I am a wimp then :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    OK then, who saw this weeks DIY SOS Big Build? I am sat here red eyed and puffy faced :( Another really nice family and such a sad tale, lovely children who were so very grateful and could say more than wow. And the young girl that wrote in for them, and the school chums raising all that money (Didn't Mark scrub up well :D) - just goes to show we have some AMAZING youngsters in this county. It was a great transformation that will make a real difference.

    Loved the rooms that LLB did, just not sure that he really fitted in with the team. And of course downstairs was up to the very high standard we expect from Julia, Mark, Julian, Billy, Chris and the one whose name I always forget (Matt?). They just make the impossible possible :D

    As everyone got emotional on reveal day I thought back to how we felt in Littlehampton and it just made me even weepier.

    I :heartpuls DIY SOS :T:j:T:o:cool::D

    Ooo, off to watch on iplayer. Any excuse to stop from heading back to my room of doom full of clutter.

    I am a wimp and I don't mind admitting it. Thanks to Niccatw for the tip about the tea bags I had my first uninterrupted sleep in ages. :T

    I was glad LLB was not allowed ANYWHERE near Mike's house. What do you think Mike? Think Julia got it right with yours? :D
    Yes that's what I thought too!
