    From the dirty sheet shop! :rotfl:

    I'm so looking forward to tonight thanks SB for the pm or I might have missed it.

    I've got a glass of red I was going to put on the beef but it'll be in my glass while I watch tonight instead ;)

    Whenever anyone offers me cake, it's always at the other end of the country...

    Glad you found us, anyway.

    This is what Digiguide tells me about tonight's programme:

    The Big Build
    [FONT=&quot]Littlehampton. Nick Knowles and the team transform homes across Britain. Mike spent his life savings on home improvements so his sons could come and visit, but was left in the lurch by rogue builders who destroyed his house, leaving him depressed and desperate, reliant on internet forums for contact with the outside world. With the help of local trades, family, friends and Mike's online community, Nick Knowles and the DIY SOS team spend nine days turning Mike's wreck of a home into a house fit for the future. [/FONT] [FONT=&quot] (Stereo, Widescreen, Subtitles, 4 Star) [/FONT]


    Even though I wasn't part of the work I got so excited - especially when I saw the mention of internet forums and online friends! :j
    I think I will need a bed sheet at the ready tonight too!
    Trying to spend less time on MSE so I can get more done ... it's not going great so far! :)
    Sorry if I don't reply to posts - I'm having MAJOR trouble keeping up these days!
