    Excellent. :)

    I've tagged copies of the last few posts on to the old/original thread, and bumped it with the programme details. ;)

    I may also have inadvertently pm'ed a certain MSE stalwart to query the possibility of making more widely known across DFW for any-one who lost us along the way...

    But now I really need to do some course work. :( If any of you are bored and at a bit of a loose end, do you fancy conjuring up a case study for me?

    Go on, you know you want to! :p

    Commissioning services to meet the needs of people who have learning disabilities and challenging behaviour.

    You know, just the usual... ;)

    It's my own fault for leaving all to the very last minute. I've never figured out how not to do that! :o

    Looking forward to seeing you all "in the flesh" (so to speak) on the 30th. (I didn't post much but followed Lisa/Mike's thread from day 1 so will be interesting to see whether I can put usernames to faces.)

    I wonder if Martin would put something about the prog in his weekly E-mail. I assume MSE will get a mention so it wouldn't seem out of place.

    Hallo greyfox. I had the pleasure of being part of Mike's Mob in Littlehampton :cool: After the reveal and Mike came out of his house he was confronted with 7 of us all in Mike's Mob T Shirts. The DIY SOS team made him guess who was who. If that didnt land on the cutting room floor you will see us all in the flesh while Mike guessed who was who.

    We have some fantastic photos which are on hold until the reveal. It was memorable and I hope the program captures the atmosphere of the build. :cool: Janet
