Boff's on telly on Monday!

[BoffinMum]

In case you want to see da Boff in da flesh, thereby ensuring I am in fact not a hairy trucker, I am on Channel 4 'Superscrimpers' at 8.30pm on Monday 4th March. I filmed eight housekeeping and cookery tips for them last month, and I gather at least one will appear in the programme tomorrow. I am the Scrimper in the pink frock called Sandra.

Occasionally I wear a frilly pinny for some tips, but let it be known this was under duress and in RL I am no nearer being a Stepford Wife than Jo Brand is.

Also I wanted to tell everyone who missed it last time and posted their distress, that my Austerity Housekeeping eBook is free on Amazon from about lunchtime tomorrow for 24 hours, if you want to download it. It can be read on any PC, laptop, Kindle, iPhone or iPad, so you don't need a special gadget.

Austerity Housekeeping

If you do download it, it would be lovely if you could post a review!

New projects include a parenting eBook, nice 'n' cheap like the housekeeping one, and possibly some more Channel 4 filming later in the month, on spring cleaning this time. I've got an author page on Amazon now, and I will try to start putting all this stuff in there, to keep everyone up to date.

Very cool news! I took a quick peek in the 'look inside' button, and I am looking forward to reading it. I am a frugaler, and love looking for tips and ideas.

[HairyHandedTrucker]

nothing wrong with being a hairy trucker

[MrsTwgtwf]

Fantastic, Boff, you are really making waves. This is to remind me to record it tomorrow. (Was going to add that I love the blog, but that just sounds too craven ) V tempted by the ebook offer, though.

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

Your frock is called Sandra?

Very interesting, but we'd likr to know your name.

Well, I would. Spreadshit calling, etc.

[AdoraBell]

D'ya think it'll be on that you tube thingy? I can't access lots of things from my location, but YouTube usually works

[Seabright]

Just downloaded your book!

[QuickLookBusy]

Brilliant!! Will tune in.

Maybe we needs MN TV so we can share all our wonderful bunfights ideas and advice!

[Acinonyx]

That's great, Boff - will take a look

[Trills]

Did you manage to slip in any MN codewords?

[MapofTassie]

I've just downloaded it - will read it and review.

[SoftKittyWarmKitty]

Ooh, I've already got that on series link . I love Supercrimpers. I downloaded your book last time it was free, so it'll be good to put a face to the name.

Did you mention bargains for buying naice ham or how to get shit off a pouffe on a budget?

[FashionFail]

[Bramshott]

Hi Boff - can you edit the Amazon blurb? There's a comma in place of a dot in your blog address which means you can't just cut and paste it...

Very impressive!

[Wewereherefirst]

Oooh will steal the remote from DH and tune in! I will read your book and leave a review

Are you wearing mumsnet scarf?

[HelenMumsnet]

Morning. We're going to move this thread to Bloggers now, as that's where it really belongs.

And for you, BoffinMum! How brilliant!

KateMumsnet (who runs the Mumsnet Bloggers Network) is just mailing you. I suspect she wants you to file a new blogpost so she can plaster you all over our Bloggers front page...

[GoingGoingGoth]

Hi Boff just downloaded your book thanks - will definately read & review.

[Tee2072]

Thanks for the book and good luck!

[Badvoc]

Ohhhhhh!
Well tune in!
Loved the book boff, and reviewed it x

[BoffinMum]

It is apparently one of the more boring tips in tonight's episode, namely the one where I cleaned the director's boots for him. He was a little mortified when I pointed out they were the most disgusting in the room so the best ones to use for the tip. I even deoderised them for him off screen.

BTW Vairy interesting factoid - the director used to mow Martha Stewart's lawn when he was a teenager!!

Better tips come in later episodes, I believe, including one where one of the miniboffs appears and scoffs porridge I have pimped, plus the infamous lentil and bacon soup moment where the film crew were practically salivating over all the equipment until they were allowed to descend on it and polish it off completely (sadly off screen again!)

1. Adora - I don't know, it might be on 4OD in a few weeks time. Look for Series 4.
   
2. There is a MN coded phrase in the book (of COURSE). 50 points to Gryffyndore for any MNetter who spots it.
   
3. Bargains for naice ham would be to ask the butchers for the trimmings when they have finished slicing a big one up. Shit off a pouffe, well you need some 1001 if it's light coloured, or some shampoo if it's dark coloured, and an old toothbrush. Don't scrub too hard and don't use too much of the cleaning product. And wear pants next time
   
4. Bramshott, Ta, I had not noticed that.
   
5. HelenMN - Ta, probably a better place for the thread, thanks.
   
6. Chaos - I have a version of that name in RL but I have to keep my housekeeping persona a bit separate from my university lecturer persona. The university press office think this whole thing is hilarious, by the way.

[Trills]

I just saw the boot-cleaning :)

[nannynick]

Nice to be abe to put a face to your name Boff.

[Bluelightsandsirens]

I was recording this any way so nice suprise as I have already downloaded and reviewd your book

[SoftKittyWarmKitty]

You were very good! What is ths bacon and lentil soup that you speak of? It sounds loverly.

[BoffinMum]

[BoffinMum]

Glad you enjoyed it
