    Ahem, yes I saw that as well. I'm pretty sure I've seen Ilonas pants somewhere before.... on another tv program a few years ago.
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    Great idea though, (and presumably VAT free if they're kid's clothes?), luckily Ilona has a nice trim figure, I fear the only pants available that would fit my size16/18 posterior would be airtex Y-fronts!

    OK, I can't hide any more. I am 8 stone so I can get away with the boys pants. Don't think I was using expensive juice in the dilute thing. It was pomegranate juice which was out of date (Jan 2011) bought for 50p from a local cash & carry. I wasn't allowed to say it was out of date, which is silly really because that makes my drinks so much cheaper.

    There should be more of me coming up, they filmed lots more, so keep watching. The programme I was on over two years ago was Hunt for Britains Tightes Person, you can still see it on 4oD. Euen who was on last night with his candles, was also on that.

    Well, it was great to see 'one of our own' on there! I felt like a proud mother :D

  • Ilona, I was wondering when they were going to bring you out! You are full of helpful tips (I read your blog all the time).

    I do have a gripe with the makers though. Considering it's also a C4 programme, still available on 4oD, and only a short programme, I wish they had watched the Britain's tightest person programme to ensure that they didn't repeat Ilona and Ieun's tip that has already been shown the the said programme.... especially since they are full of other helpful tips.

  • Ilona, I don't want to pee on your picnic, but I have two sons, who obviously wear boys' underwear - and it wears out far quicker than mine! The cotton wears thin, the elastic frays and stretches .... I'm glad it works for you, but I'll stick to my lovely matching (bought in the sale) undies.

    I did think the tablemat thing was a bit pointless - I sew, I have a machine, I make curtains, I have offcuts of curtain fabric, therefore I am already wise to all the stuff I can make with the offcuts. If you don't sew or make curtains, you'd have to buy all that stuff ...
    Enjoying the power and freedom of letting things go.
