    Well! Film crew have just left...I was so nervous but they were all lovely so made me feel a lot better about the whole thing! I apologised for the odd bouquet of aromas that whacked them when they got in! Nice that the place is semi tidy even if it is falling to pieces and in dire need of kitchen cabinets, carpet and a good lick of paint etc! Will try my hardest to keep it that way now! Can't believe I didn't even have any slap on! I don't tend to wear any make up as never have the time but I always used to say if I was on tele I would make the effort! Oh well! I am off to film in London on Tuesday and I think it will be aired on Wednesday, but will need to double check. I don't know how people are gonna view the whole situation...I haven't told may people but word has spread like wildfire! Most people say 'well done' and 'at least you are trying to sort it out now before it gets too bad' etc but then someone said 'what you doing that for...are you not embarrassed...you think you have it bad but nearly everyone is in debt' and that just stuck in my mind :( funny how the bad stuff sticks more than the good! But anyway...I am pleased that I have done it and am looking forward to meeting Martin and Lorraine...gonna be very strange! Only famous people I have ever spoken to was Frank Bruno and the Chucklebrothers (before I was told to go away by security!)!!! :rotfl:
    Anyway, gonna chill this weekend and not worry about anything money related till Tuesday when I chat to Martin and Lorraine. Lets hope I come across ok! :o

    I will be at work...probably for the best! Dunno if I will be able to watch it there...I know that one of the departments at work has a TV so might be able to view it but will have to get to work on time!!! That will be a first!!!
