I'm surprised no-one has mentioned the dad from the Newbury family. Is it just me or was he a really really nice guy who would make a great hubbie and not bad on the eye either!

I actually felt sorry for the Bristol woman - she seemed scared and was lashing out I felt. Maybe counselling would help her leave her childhood issues behind

Fimbo · 08/02/2006 12:16

OMG-Those poor girls!! The way Lorraine spoke they didn't have any friends either and why would you live in a caravan to let your children have the house? My dh is quiet and not the most sociable of people but Jeff made him look like a female Cod.

bristol mum flet marginalised and that ehr kids wer ebeing overtaken by the toher parents. Her dh overcame his vertigo to ride an elephant, all except him went rafting (fear of water), they visited a Thai school where kids danced for present of a box of biscuits which Bristol mum had moral qualms about (and I'd agree with her tbh), she felt the time spent travelling was a waste of holiday time. Her girls loved it and plan to go abroad again but she'll stick to home ! Surprisingly no huge blow up at the end for once !

anyone??

zippitippitoes · 07/02/2006 22:10

I thought this was strangelyn one of the more productive programmes (I also did a sort of really at the bruise on chest)

I would have been shell shocked at staying in someones own house

meggmoo · 07/02/2006 22:07

missed the second part. Can someone give me a summary - was expecting the Bristol mum to lose it but for her dh and girls to love it
????

insecure woman but it did have a positive outcome despite the editorial slant. Felt for her being taken so far out of her comfort zone and she did cope pretty well considering.

Blandmum · 07/02/2006 22:02

how many adults do you think have never slept anywhere than home?
we always went away for hols, and we were not well off, always in the uk, but we did get away

Blandmum · 07/02/2006 21:32
