Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, just switched on to it

I thought she was supposed to be No 1 property expert/guru of Great Britain, she now seems to being doing a !!!! poor adult version of blue peter.

I cannot help think that her little rich Daddy pulled a few strings at the masons lodge in order to get his spoilt brat of a daughter on TV.

    Apparently she, and those two from Homes Under the Hammer, managed to ramp house prices to unsustainable levels leading to a market crash which spread to the USA and may now lead to the break-up of the Euro.

    Maybe she's only allowed to present handicraft programmes now for the future safety of the world economy.

    Thought this might be an interesting thread about crafts, but no - just the usual MSE rants from the envious have-nots with a chip on their shoulders.;)
    Love the animals: God has given them the rudiments of thought and joy untroubled. Do not trouble their joy, don't harrass them, don't deprive them of their happiness.

    I must admit, I thought she was classed as 'professional property person', but now she makes handicrafts it rather shows she just does whatever she can....

    It's not what you know, it's who you know. That's the way it is.

    I like how it was meant to be about being thrifty and imaginative, yet you still had to pay £40 for things that appeared homemade! I'm sure most of the people I know would rather have the money than the hand made felted waistcoat from a charity shop which actually cost £50!

    The woman is a complete marvel - we've had her skip diving in her frock & rustly petticoat & high heels, blocking the road with her 4 X 4 as she gets some poor peasant to howk some antique out of the rubble strewn midden & strap it to her roof rack. She's learnt skills that take folks a life time & swept the board for prizes with jams & junkets. (I hear the WRI have hired a hit man.)

    She's done up a *wreck* on TV we've paid for it - the viewer.
    She's like Marie Antoinnette.

    Worse is to come. Don't forget not to watch A SuperScrimpers Christmas, which will tell you how to cook Christmas lunch for £50 (on which some families feed themselves for a week).
    "It will take, five, 10, 15 years to get back to where we need to be. But it's no longer the individual banks that are in the wrong, it's the banking industry as a whole." - Steven Cooper, head of personal and business banking at Barclays, talking to Martin Lewis
