    I felt so sorry for Cheryl's children. By keeping them off school and not home schooling them, they are messing up the rest of their lives. The children were clearly bored. Why isn't the education department or someone checking that they are getting the education that the parents are supposed to be giving them?

    It was good to see them get to college and see the girl act like a teenage girl, especially when she got all giggly because a boy called her! I was glad the other wife took the initiative and got them off to college and hope they end up with the qualifications they need to get a career.
    Here I go again on my own....
  • Guys and Gals, you are all crackers! I have just laughed my way through 14 pages of forum and I never even saw the programme! since moving house I have got a little bit better but it is still messy. However, in our old flat (1 bedroom and HEAPS of stuff) everything was madness at all times, and I still invited my mates round. They always gave me stick but hey. One day, my phone rang and it was the research team from "How clean is your house?", my friend had rung them to say I should be taking part in their show! Believe me I was so angry. She had told them that my Guineapig was pooing everywhere and I wasn't removing it. Well, how was I to know the Guineapig had eaten a hole in the armchair and used the inside bottom as a toilet????? (How my friend found out I dread to think.)
    Anyway, I clean only when I have to. I'd rather garden, cook, and bake- and claim that "I've been doing housework all day"!

    I'm incredulous here...I don't know whether to stay laid on the floor laughing or get up and be indignant for you.

    If it were me, I'd be torn between thinking 'no flaming way' and 'oh yay, my house is getting cleaned'. :rotfl:
