THANK YOU MUMSNET

NoelHeadbands · 11/09/2013 21:49

My husband also says thank you. Because I will shut up about it now

Just caught up with this. I love the pool / gym basement.

Not my cup of tea, I'd feel claustrophobic and want more outside but I do admire their ability to balance his drive against the neighbours needs. Ats off to them.

I sort of liked the house in the end but that amount of money would seriously freak me out. I wouldn't have it or be able to borrow it in the first place but if I could I wouldn't sleep anymore.
The changing hair style and facial hair was interesting.

I'd happily live in a car showroom if I had an ensuite and utility room.

These two seem reasonably sensible (well sensible for this show).

RedPencils · 18/09/2013 21:34

What's the tiny door thing for?

WetAugust · 18/09/2013 21:39

Gawd -it's turning into absolute bollox.

Just got to the usual bit where they have to borrow £55K from mummy and daddy

RedPencils · 18/09/2013 21:45

Why do they always start without having all the money?

JustMary · 18/09/2013 21:45

I think the little door is for in between the children's rooms.

WetAugust · 18/09/2013 21:47

Why do they always start without having all the money?

Because they are risk-takers. They always are. No one would start on these massive bespoke projects without being a risk-taker.

The non-risk takers buy something off Rightmove and change the kitchen!

Wish they'd shut up about the bloody mother ship thing

We've run out of money, whinge, whinge, but as luck would have it, found the money for a rather splendid pool.
