AIBU to think that Kirstie Allsop has completely lost the plot!

Watching "Fill your house for free" and can't help wondering, not only, who has the time but who really wants a washing machine drum coffee table?

I actually like the washing drum coffee table! But I've got no taste.

Poor Gemma!

Eating dinner at the coffee table, and spilling his drink.......

I have had to put it on now. Cheers mumsnet.

Already annoyed at the way she says hard graft. Phlurgh!

What piprabbit says!

I don't want anything lurking in my neighbour's shed.

Listen up Kirstie, if you have to buy extra stuff to convert an item or employ professionals to make it then IT ISN'T FREE

Plus the episode I saw a couple of weeks ago she recommended driving around (with free petrol one assumes ) and looking for skips. And they seemed to freecycle over a massive area collecting tat stuff. Surely all that petrol, and man hours driving around mean you may as well Argos it?

They've had to scour the UK for everything!

Pretty sure it's illegal to take things from a skip!

£700? Fuck off!

£416 excluding labor isn't free in my world!

Should it be labour?

"Pretty sure it's illegal to take things from a skip!"

I think it's okay if you ask. As Kirsty reminds everyone to do every five seconds.

Skips around here are usually filled with rubble and the occasional plastic patio set that someone set on fire.

I have never seen anything remotely interesting in a skip.

Ok fair enough, learn somehow new everyday!

I'm off to go skip rummaging! not

It might be slightly more believable for her to turn herself into some frugality-credit-crunch interior designer if she herself wasn't loaded and the daughter of a Baron...

... nah, it would still be shite.

I'm going to varnish one of my shites and turn it into a bedside table.

is this going to be on plus 1?
Gutted I missed it!
She made a door out of an old radiator one week, or sommat

Kendodds if you had her contacts you could turn that into a 3 part mini series!

Don't even get me started on the HUGE grammatical error in the title of the show! It makes my teeth itch....

I couldn't watch the one where she carved up some perfectly good coffee tables and stuck them to a wall as a bookcase.

I have a feeling that her viewers are going to be desecrating lovely furniture to turn it into something that they think is cutting edge, but is actually horrible tat.

I do love jelly but this is just an odd programme. My OH now wants me to spend my day trying to acquire him free wood.
