I was glad LLB was not allowed ANYWHERE near Mike's house. What do you think Mike? Think Julia got it right with yours?
Yes that's what I thought too!
B
(But if you loved LLB's work that is fine)
No, no, no :eek: I didn't mean to suggest that LLB was better than Julia and the team in any way.
I quite liked the rooms he did for THIS family and I understand that they had to bring in some additional help as there was such a lot to do. Not sure that LLB is the correct person to bring in AT ALL as he didn't seem to fit well. Is that because it is him or because anyone coming in to such a well established team who obviously get on so well would struggle.
But letting LLB loose in the Dolls House???? No way Jose! :rotfl::j Proud Member of Mike's Mob :j0 -

Remember those jokes about gold skips and tartan paint? May not have been quite so funny if LLB had been involved :eek:A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effortMortgage Balance = £0

It might have been a test for future programmes, but it didn't seem as though he really looked comfortable despite the joshing. It's not his sort of programme. I would have liked what he did if I was a 15-year-old girl (which I'm not, at least on this web site). Julia did a clever job at mine and I wouldn't change a thing. Well I did put a red clock up in the kitchen and a red pedal bin, but that's hardly undoing anything!

I'm fine, thanks. The house is still beautiful, and surprisingly tidy! Everything has settled down and having me boyzies here seems natural. Quite a year! Still being recognised around town, and everyone has been really nice about the whole thing.
