    Think you've got problems? Gotta try and explain to an increasingly deaf mother why everyone calls me Lisa. This isn't going to end well.

    Well, you will need to think laterally Mike. Do her eyes still work ok? If so, put that nice dress on, that will explain everything ;).

    Oohhhh, looking forward to Thurs :). Crikey, from those clips it looks like they BUILT a house, never mind renovated :rotfl:
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    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.

    He said he'll try but he can't make any promises. :)

    I can always put a temporary sticky post at the top of the diary board if not? Another way to remind/tell people who don't read this thread about the programme?

    Or maybe just do that anyway regardless?

  • june.elizabeth...welcome back hun and well done you for not bashing OH with crutches. Being such a good wife makes it very difficult for the bad ones (like me!) to pretend we're not bad at all...please tell me you at least took care of almost every whim through gritted teeth and mutterings to yourself that he was a pain in the !!!! :rotfl:


    Absolutely through gritted teeth and selective hearing at all times. He thinks I have been a really good wife and I am expecting a great reward just trying to think what I will autosuggest.

    Happy times to everyone 2011 will be a good year.

    yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift thats why its called the present ;)

    I'd say you're looking at anything from a new kitchen to a cruise, to a Toyota Yaris. That sort of ballpark anyway.
