10 minutes, quick get the wine.

who?

anthea I presume???????

NOW

.

grossed out by those bedbug statistics. I've NEVER hoovered my bed and am moritifed by what's lurking on my mattress.

My duvet covers wouldn't fit in my pillow cases though, I'm sure.

is she still on? i don't wanna have to go downstairs if its over.

hey, if you've got bedbugs, you'll know it by the little red bites they give you within 20 mins of you hitting your bed. scaremongering.

Does anyone know the stately home/hotel with the fab staircase? Which one is it?

Hah, those girls didn't know the meaning of squalor, amateurs! Anthea should have seen our flat in Cricklewood when I was a student, we had mice living in the oven - for a year. The binbags used to move across the floor and the kitchen worktops had footprints as we used to climb out the window to sit on the roof. Great days...
Missed the beginning, why were they in a stately home at the end?

More likely to be fleas anyway.

Just for the presentation of the tiara and the sceptre of responsibility (feather duster)

Repeated at 2.55 am nah better not, 7pm on sunday will do.

Just watched it. I must have lead a sheltered life as a student - I never came across a house that was that bad (even houses full of boys) - where did all the clutter come from - we just never had that much stuff!? I would love to know who owned the 1st house that they featured, beneath the dirt it was really nice - where was the dodgy wall paper, and patched up kitchen lino? Either rent in Bristol is very cheap or those girls were heavily subsidised. I actually got quite annoyed with them.

It's a downward spiral getting to that state. Just takes one person who've never had to up after themselves and a combination of resentment, resignation and jealousy. You go on strike because you don't want to clean up their mess, you get jealous because why are they allowed to be so bloomin' careless, you give up fighting and eventually you reach the same state of blindness to filth that they live in.
Plus clutter at that age is all about self-expression and exploring your creativity.

I think I would have been less cross with them if they had actually been living in what I would call a student house, rather than a house that somebody had decorated quite nicely. I think was watching the programme as a landlord.

does anyone know if you can get hold of a copy of antheas folder??? i reeeeeaaaaaaalllllly want one

Wow, i'd love Anthea' folder as well.

I don't think there's even a book out to buy.

Maybe one will be out in time for christmas!!!!!!

Surely the BBC will cash in on it soon?????
