I'd like to take a agang of preschool children to her place and leave her there locked up for a month. Lets see the state of Anthea and Snooty Towers then

I watch the first half in a sort of trance of fascinated disgust - like squeezing a really horrible spot - revolting but mesmerising. Then I get bored and drift away.

She's a peculiar-looking creature, though, isn't she? It's something to do with her chin, and the mannequin hair.

I wanted to sit and sneer and scoff for an hour, but found myself wanting boxes

I couldn't maintain her lifestyle, not in a million years, even with no kids. My sphincter would give out on the first day.

You're making me want to watch this all of you

Caligula · 26/02/2006 12:48

Watch it, watch it - then we can set up a 12 step support group

  1. I admit I'm powerless over my compulsion to fantasise about tidying up my house whenever Anthea comes on
fairydust · 26/02/2006 12:51

fairydust · 26/02/2006 12:52

  1. We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves, Anthea, could restore us to sanity".

Cod - if you really want to watch, it's repeated tonight on BBC3, 7-8pm

puff · 26/02/2006 13:45

I think I may be halfway there .

She has a wrapping paper/gift tag/sellotape organiser ......................so do I!!!!!!!

Arrrggghhhh!!!!

I am now measuring the height and depth of the cupboards in my utility room, so I can buy appropriate storage boxes.

puff · 26/02/2006 13:51

and I'm buying another plastic bin so I can separate my white and colour washing.

Just need to lose another 6 stone, get hair extensions, dye them honey blond, blue contact lenses, raise voice an octave, have boob reduction and the transformation will be complete

Greensleeves · 26/02/2006 13:52

Anthea's "honey blonde" hair flickouts...^^

No

I bought the wrapping paper organiser in this shop that was selling off loads of Great Little Trading Co stock at silly prices. It was a fiver - (was £30 in the catalogue) - it's brill!

I have latent busybody uberorganised tendencies and Anthea has reignited them (they have been dormant since I left teaching)

oooer - d'ya hate me now ?

I've got the same one, Puff. Noticed that Anthea had the one from Lakeland, which IMHO is not a patch on the GLTC one.

lol

Did anyone notice the ornaments in her untility room?

She has A & G in big steel letters sat on a shelf....shall I get some?

hehe

JackieNo · 26/02/2006 14:19

Yes - I noticed the A&G - why would you put those in the utility room, though?

snafu · 26/02/2006 14:19

Puff, you forgot about the frontal lobotomy. Then the transformation will be complete.

Greensleeves · 26/02/2006 14:21

I'd rather have a bottle a' front o' me than a frontal lobotomy

Where is the husband, anyway? Is he in one of those vacuum packs under the bed?
