My fave (?) Toni is obviously keen on the TV, she was in something called Sweaty Betty t'other day. Not sure it if pre-dated the mansion tho, I didn't get to watch it.

We have met up to watch a preview of the programme, then a few of us met up for press releases. It would be awsome to stay intouch....... it is hard tho. Think most of us are doing well since the show, we stay intouch via the internet!! Thanks for all the nice comments since the show, defo makes up for the crap we got before it went out!! lol

Hi girls would like to know out of all of you who started off in the programme do you keep in contact now and do you ever meet up since the filming finished. ( I know its probably difficult with commitments and travel ) Has life changed much for any of you since you did the programme would be great if you all got something out of doing it. Good luck!!!!!

Just finished catching up on iplayer,I'll really miss watching it!

Was shocked to see that Sivita's(sp?)husband probably shouldn't have been sent away to start with,hope it works out this time.

Toni's changed her mind completely regarding men!

I hope it works out for all of you,it's definitely made me more determined to sort my life out!

so sad this programme is over , really enjoyed it and only missed a few programmes.
I thought exactly the same as humphrey - why did the single dads kids not have seat belts on?

and Toni aargh - what a snob !! I cannot believe she was such a snobby, patronising cow - so what if she apologised, she still said it and meant it.
I've been on loads of 5 star holidays - big wow ! - but would have loved a holiday like that with everyone sat on their terraces at night chilling, instead of stuck in a hotel room! She needs to sort her hair out and stop wearing those baggy jumpers if she wants a man. Sorry to be personal but she was so rude !
Robyn came across really badly on the whole programme i thought, lazy and selfish.
but the rest of you were great . Pramface are you still going for the communal living ? Don't you think you'll end up arguing with everyone ?
Shelley - hope you had a fab holiday - are you still with your new man?
Two things i really need to know, what make was natasha's sling? and where was that gorgeous cake tea pot from?

I've been watching this and have absolutely loved it!

I have so much admiration for everyone who took part. I'm not a single mam and I find it hard looking after ds (6 months) all day. Its good to know that dh is coming home each night to help or else I might go mad! I honestly don't know how you do it, but i suppose you just have to get on with it don't you?

Just wanted to say that I think all of your kids are so lucky to have such strong women as mams. And anyone who knocks single mams want their arses kicking

I have been watching this (haven't caught up with the last couple though)

I thought the holiday Idea was great as although I am not a single Mum & have taken the kids away on my own and it was pretty boring!

I could understand some of the Mums needing their own space and felt shocked that others didn't!

I thought Toni's views of the holiday were pretty bad as I think she is lucky to have 5* hotel holidays - my dh & I work both full time and won't be having a holiday this year as we need to save all our time off for covering school holidays as much as possible.

so sad it's all over, cried all last nigth after watching that remembering how much i miss everyone and miss that house, We were all single parents in the house, ie lived alone, did all the parenting etc... but i think a couple of us were dating people, i can speak for myself, i was on/ off dating a guy, who had nowt to do with jack, but the day before i went in the house he wanted to finish me cos he didn't like the idea of what i was doing, i tried to reslove this with him, but ended up breaking up!!?? (not very supportive) Think a couple of the other mums were in similar situations??!! But nowt serious??!!

Hi to all that took part in this i just wanted to say i thoroughly enjoyed it.I would love to have taken part.Shelley u were my fave but i didnt dislike any of the mums well aybe somehad their moments but now its almost at an end you can see why some of the mums acted the way they did in certain situations.Gosh ieven changed my view on Toni after tonights episode.This programme has made me think about my own life with my two sons i learnt a lot from watching i would even go as far as to say it has given me the confidence i needed to start a childcare course i have wanted to do for ages.So thank you,thank you,thank you to Selley,Tasha and all the other mums.xxx

i couldn't believe it when terasina's ex was like i think you should be with charlie all the time. you shouldn't want to leave him. that's rich coming from a dad who barely sees his own son.

i couldn't really see what terasina and marigold were trying to achieve by making them all become vegetarians for 4 days. it seemed to me like they were just doing cos they had the power of being the leader and knew it would annoy people. i thought the leaders were supposed to bring in ideas that help you cope as a single parents when you go home (but i could be wrong about that) - toni and shelley did the rotas for chores, tasha - you tried to make people feel better about themselves - i can see how those things would help parents but i cannot see at all how being a vegetarian is going to help them.

toni was out of order. she was really patronising when she called terasina a 19 year old child. i actually think terasina is quite mature and thought she was much older than 19. i assumed robyn was the youngest and i thought she was about 16.

i think sabita should have been a bit more discreet about hating the food cos that's just going encourage the kids to say they don't like it even if they don't really mind it.

i read somewhere that sabita wasn't the only mum who had a partner and that 4 other mums did too. who else did?

surely if they were going to plan a trip abroad they would check everyone had passports though?? just common sense!!

I wasn't our choice to go abroad, it was all organised for us in advance by the production company, they didn't fortell tasha'a and robyn's situation......

btw i also thought they should have gone away in this country so as not to leave the other 2 mums out who couldn't go.

i didn't agree with what toni said about if you live in clutter you can't sleep well. people who have to be clean and tidy might not sleep well but people who don't mind living in a lived in house will sleep fine!! i disagree that kids will grow up miserable if they live in mess. i think kids will grow up more miserable if they aren't allowed to have fun and play cos they will make a mess.

i thought terasinas ex was really immature especially when he was talking to you shelley. he wanted a baby in first place and why shouldnt he be made to feel bad?
not really to do with the mums but did anyone see those girls in mini skirts on the ice rink. wtf!!
brett's from near me might have to go looking for him lol. how uncomfortable did he look with the pole dancing!!
i thought that scotty was a bit sleazy at the speed dating. i reckon he told every girl they were the first one he spotted.
marigolds bro was hot though
shelley you remind me of tanya on eastenders btw.

why is it called young mums mansion when some of them are in their 30s? surely it should have been called single mums mansion.

I usually find Toni funny but last night's episode with her looking down her nose at the holiday put me off a fair bit,although I suppose,she did loosen up a bit during the holiday and did apologise to the others for her behaviour.I think I'm probably being too kind!!

She could have been more sensitive and stopped boasting about her blooming 5-star holidays-not everyone can afford them!

The dad and his kids seemed to have fitted in very quickly!The son's lovely and yet again I've been blubbing-watching him talk to his dad about his worries started me off again.They have a really good relationship,being able to talk to each other openly like that.

I must admit i thought is was cruel to leave two MUm's behind a weekend at centre patcs in this country for everyone would surely have been a holiday as well. I did think the Mum's left behind could have tidied up though. Surely that was just done to wind the others up
