I love her. I do, I think I've got a girl crush.

I know she's smug (I have to contend with DH's sneering the whole way through), I know she's overly dramatic and I know it's a bit suss that she's won a few of the contests she's entered even though she's a total novice and there are people a whole lot better than her...

But I love her. Everyone has to be quiet whilst a watch it.

Secretly love her and her shows too

Even though she is one of those terribly posh people who pretend to middle class and the slightly smug thing, I secretly do love a bit of Kirsty.

I pretend to DH that I watch it with disdain but I am loving it. Blush

Oh my God - the relief when you realise you are not tragic and sad alone! I want to wear wrap dresses, talk in a posh voice and do cross stitch whilst loving myself because I have a Kitchen Aids Artisan Mixer and a Land Rover. Kirsty is fab ... I think I need to wee :)

GwennieF · 09/11/2011 20:12

I'm not alone!!! Hurrah!

itspeanutbutterjellytime · 09/11/2011 20:13

I hate her, but love her programme! I want to make nearly everything she has made so far!

Mandy2003 · 09/11/2011 20:15

I can't allow myself to love her or her programme because I am terminally cackhanded Sad

itspeanutbutterjellytime · 09/11/2011 20:16

mandy so am I, but if you make sometime, your family has to love and praise it for evermore. That's the law.

I am jealous of Kirsty and want to go to county shows, craft, make jam, bake, arrange flowers, be a member of the women's institute, be married to a farmer / vet, open my garden to the public for charity and do my shopping in the village store.
I want to be Sarah Beany too.

I love her, and she gives me hope now that i am living in the countryside.
I know it's all pastiche, but i love her enthusiasm.

I also covet her cherry red landrover and think i may even try the floral dress and welly combo!!

smartyparts · 09/11/2011 20:23

It's a strange peep through a portal into a world where people make shite. And take it very seriously.

I can't bear Kirsty, but I suspect I'm in the minority.

Anniepops · 09/11/2011 20:26

Mandy2003 - that hasn't stopped Kirsty! :)

monkeypuzzeltree · 09/11/2011 20:35

Am also enjoying the series, is giving me lots of ideas for christmas presents that I want to start crafts I won't have the time to do!

It is also Kirsty that alerted me to the fact that I was pregnant, I knew there was something amiss when I cried when she won the cake competition, I was a little bit Hmm !!!

I have missed the whole thing now due to wailing baby who think its not bed time yet argh!! Need to wait for it on c4+1 now. Assuming wailing child stops soon. Sad

itspeanutbutterjellytime · 09/11/2011 20:54

Oh poor you skandi but if it hadn't have been you it'd have been me!

I was just thinking about starting a thread entitled 'What the fuck is this Kirsty's cheap tat thing all about?'

It's a flower arrangement. Get over it.

GwennieF · 09/11/2011 20:55

LOL MonkeyPT - congratulations!

skandi1 · 09/11/2011 20:57

Cother. Tis not about the flower arranging but a Kirsty cult thing.

itspeanutbutterjellytime · 09/11/2011 20:57

But I like it CMF

I do secretly love her. We saw her at the New Forest show, looks like it is showing next week.
