    Oops I forgot. :o Will do it later. Need to feed DS and DD now.

    I really, really wanted to mention it earlier... but I didn't want to appear as an over-enthusiastic "always gets in first" type and dominate the Thursday/Sparkly Spirit Time moments.

    "Hand over the keys of your house to two amateurs who've never decorated anything except their own house before" disaster-fest

    1] She wants "sju sjush" (?sp) and Va-va-voom.... so I've no idea what that means. Harefield.


    2] Portsmouth. They bought parents' house and it's still pretty much how it was. Her dad is still attached to it - and doesn't know why they want to change anything. Her parents had built it themselves and she feels bad saying she hates it.

    OMG, Canadian loon.... Kirsty McKenzie

    OMG when I saw her flouncing down the road in her tutu and bright clothes I nearly p*ssed myself laughing!

    OH will have to watch it on Watch Again as he's just left for a gig in town where his friend's new band are playing for first time. It will give him a good laugh I think, which he needs.

    Ha ha ... first bedroom's ghastly. Bathroom's .. "different", not my thing, but at least has some hint it had a plan. Bedroom's just an explosion in an interior design magazine warehouse!

    LOL... house owners HATE the bedroom :)
    Said designer should be "locked in a cupboard" ... "overload" ... "way too much".

    WHY do people let themselves in for this sort of thing. Is it just some kind of "want my 5 min of fame even if I have to let somebody trash my house to get it" mentality? I don't get it.
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)

    Oh dear ... her dad built that, they turned up and it was in a skip - and the design is hideous, the presenter hated it, the home owners hated it...... and she cried... looked like she was about to throw up with horror.
