Would someone like to tell me what "Anthea Turner's Perfect Housewife" is????

Message withdrawn

congratualtions!!

you could drop in casually.......

ooohhh i want my home to be perfect because i lovemygirls

you could always drop in some lines about how its spooky and mad!

"YeahBut, Anthea, I love my XYZ"...

I double, triple dare you to get the word fanjo on national tv!!!!!!!

Yorkie - this sounds like such fun! I think!! Don't let her near your craft bits (she'd blow a gasket if she could see mine - she won't). Enjoy the hotel and I like Yeahbut's suggestion - go on get fanjo on TV.

And make sure you have a rubber duck placed prominently by the bath

And make it a Bling Rubber Duck

oooh brill! I'll be watching!
And can you ask her why her book isn't comming out til March? Yet it is on Amazon... and I'm sad because I WANT IT NOW!!!

you could always tell her she is a dizzy bint

OHHHH!!! If I ask REALLY nicely, could you get me some of that FAB soap from the hotel! Smells gorgeous and lasts FOREVER. Just used my last bit. I loved it! The food is good too!

We should swap notes after you do your weekend with Anthea! It was, how should I put it...an eyeopener!

Good luck, hon!!!!

I'll look after your stash for you. No, really, it's no trouble at all, just box it up and send it down.

"I find that tidying up does tend to DragOn after a while..."

ooo Yorkie....fame....!!

and don't forget to say "I just want to WHIZZZ round my house & tidy it up"

Sorry, what exactly are we celebrating here? The fact that YorkiesGirl's house is a complete tip or she is a slob when it comes to cleaning the house?

Oh OK. I have only watched the Anthea programme once - I couldn't stomach the patronising premise of the programme - so I am maybe confusing it with How Clean Is Your House? So your house is clean but your want storage tips, is that it?

YorkieGirl

Considering that the house cleaning/stroke tidying was Nigels job, you have done very well, I have it on very good authority that you do not need a tetanus to enter your house.

Enjoy your time with Anthea, hope she gives you loads of storage ideas.

And enjoy it as an experience, Lord knows it will be happier than some of your recent ones.

yorkiegirl Hide your stash that everyones talking about.

Stick it at a neighbours or in the boot of your car.

One bloke thought he was safe by putting things in his loft, but one of the kids let it slip!!!!

She was up there like a shot!!!!

You could always move the ladder while she's up there and leave her for a while!!!!

She might tidy it for you!!

Another piece of advice is to very carefully put away any of Nigels thing that you've kept, and under no circumstances let her near them.

What you treasure, she may want you to bin!!!

I remember watching another programme similar, and a lady on there had lost her baby.

She had kept everything that the baby ever wore or was given and they made her get rid of loads of it.

Told her she was hanging onto the past.

Some things just aren't meant for tv presenters eyes!!!!!!

Hope you have a brill time.

You can give us all tips on how to stay tidy.

And we want regular pics of the house, to make sure you've kept at it!!!!!!!!
