All beautiful but no bloody way she did that all by herself with one or two toddlers snapping at her ankles.

It was a dreadful pile of shite and it was on for a whole hour every day, ridiculous.

totally agree, i normally love kirsty too, but really, id love her to come to our pigsty tiny council house and try to create that scene.

the local drugdealers would congregate outside our front door so they could do their business by festive candle-light!"

Hahahaaaaaa! Loving some comments on here.

Lol! I've just figured out that Lissie meant doing their drug dealing business, I thought she mean their dirty business. I'm sure which is worse though Confused

Yanbu at all, load of self indulgent twaddle. Property market must be v slow!

Xmas Grin the funny thing is that I made a wreath this year. bought a plain one from tesco for £1 and ds and i decorated it with old decorations. looks a lot prettier than a bunch of waitrose herbs that will be sticks by boxing day!

Plumm · 22/12/2010 12:19

DD and I made the chocolate & ice cream snowballs - they were lovely!

Was highly amused by the typical family home though.

Garrington Home Finders or summat - have a Google.

I buy my wreath from the local mental health charity for 7 or 8 pounds. Its much nicer than Kirsty's 30 quid jobbie.

adrenalinejunkie · 22/12/2010 12:57

Kirstie is beyond smug , I used to like her in the property shows but then I watched that stupid programme where she made all the things for her third absolutely huge house and had lessons off loads of professionals and to buy the materials alone would cost a small
fortune much
more than my store bought matalan cushions I think she actually
lives on another planet .

wewishyouamerrylissiemas · 22/12/2010 17:31

and another thing.

jirstie makes her own wallpaper. she goes to all the trouble and expense of making something that is widely available to a much better standard in B&Q, yet she says its too much hassle to make her own christmas pudding and mince pies.

Ive out kirstied kirsty!

swanandduck · 22/12/2010 17:35

I think Kirstie has been done to death at this stage. I watched a couple of minutes of the programme (I think they were cutting down their own Christmas tree in the forest, or cutting brussel sprouts into santa shapes to hang on the tree or something) and switched off.

expatinscotland · 22/12/2010 17:36

I just watch it for pure entertainment.

panettoinydog · 22/12/2010 17:36

well, something strange has happened to me. I used to loathe kirstie programmes but this year I have quite enjoyed them.

Maybe I'm old now. Or I have become wet. Or soft in the grey cells.

I did choke when she said she'd show us how to make a wreath for £25 instead of having to spend £100 on one. £100! On a wreath! As if people do that.

SlightlySparkly · 22/12/2010 17:38

Make. Your. Own. Felt.

Fuck. Off.

KellyBronze · 22/12/2010 18:02

On one level I tried to give it a chance with the this is pure aspirational fantasy and treat is as entertainment but just could not suspend my disbelief.

I hate the pair of them. They dissed my home town of Middlesbrough in spectacular fashion. I challenge anyone to go to any town and not find some awful parts. They totally concentrated on all the negatives.
They really are a pompous pair of twats..

MrsGuyOfChristmasBorn · 22/12/2010 18:11

Never seen the prog, but love that word 'twattery' which I am now adopting for myriad situations Xmas Grin

WhatsWrongWithYou · 22/12/2010 18:12

I didn't watch it - although I would have appreciated another laugh as big as the one I had at her last 'home-made' programme; spending half an hour 'learning' to do a craft then sweeping out to leave the common artisan to finish it: 'I can't wait until my quilt/chair/merkin is finished,' squeaks Kirstie.

I think she's intending to do a Nigella; presenting herself as posh tottie then sitting back while the book, TV and advertising contracts roll in.

celticlassie · 22/12/2010 18:15

It's awful - I loved them on the 'Location' programmes. Now I can't bear to watch them.

thatsnotmymonkey · 22/12/2010 18:21

Yes, Kirsty Allplop the home style guru. I do not think so.
