Kirstie's (Location, L, L) Christmas on C4 now

[Lapsedrunner]

I've just watched the first 2 episodes. Does anyone else feel sorry for Kirstys children having to play in that room with the glass gold baubles artistically spilling out of the hearth.

I do love all those garlands though. Whenever I do the holly and ivy thing round the mirrors and pictures it looks crap about 2 days later.

Oh and sorry to disappoint you all but Kirsty isn't spending Christmas at her Devon home. Despite using this programme and the previous one as blatant advertisments the house is still avaliable to rent for a week from 20-27th Dec for a mere £3428.57.

I wonder if the hand blown baubles and other decorations are included in that price.

Her eyebrows... they never used to be like that, did they?

I need to buy some doilies

If I was payng that much for it I'd nick the bloody baubles in manner of posh hotel guest.

Who is going to be able to hear the 'fat hitting the foil' to know when they're ready when cooking sprouts in the oven?
Is not a Christmas Kitchen a little more boisterous and merry than a regular every day kitchen?
I think 'tis easier to boil....

I snorted when she said that chef was "A fan of the bean".

I am getting a bit tired of the 'I am such a little silly!' act she is putting on.

I thought she was quite nice but she is getting on my nerves now. She is acting like a demented 6 year old.

twenty quid for a pear covered in foil? Farks sake.

You could of bought your sister a decent present with that!

Glittered mince pies? o0r asda ones with icing sugar on?

i would rather have a homemade one plain on top

Ilove glitter on food.

I'd put it on everything if I could

I've always liked Kirsty on Location etc, but on this programme she comes across as a bit of a joke. Who's honestly going to eat some unwrapped homemade chocolates that fall out of a toilet roll? And who did her make-up? As the hour went by, she was looking more and more like a drag queen.

YY the make p was most bizarre.

Home-made perchance.

I would call it Kirstys "hand made designer christmas" The pears were a joke and that candle although beautiful, would cost a fortune.
I love craft and arty stuff but this was just ridiculous she is delusional.

Oh yes I agree her make up was hideous it made me LOL though!!!!!

stop being mean- i adore her!

I have been laughing a lot at this series. Homemade Christmas! If your family and friends have everything they could possibly wish for already, why not go on a jaunt and have fun making them an expensive knick-knack instead! Meanwhile, who's changing shitty arses and putting tea on while I'm gold plating some pears and casting some replica medieval pillar candles?

I have loads of crapseventies cookbooks,maybe I should pop down to Ashburton (shopping mecca that it is- PMSL) and set up a stallfor gullible Kirtsy-followers?

DS1 has just watched this on 4 catch up (yes OK we'reodd etc etc) and we both burst out laughing at 'he'ssuch a specialperson'- is he hell love, it'sthe head of a teddy bear made with fabric at £75 pm.... it's so twee it is scary!

Oh I love Kirstie but I do agree that a) the make up was terrifying and b) the homemade home series has been so very middle class twee it is embarrassing.

BTW - I decorate my kitchen....

Kirstie is such a fake. She comes from hugely wealthy family and pretends to save money on her THIRD home in Devon. Which, by the way, is free advertising for her cottage rental. What on earth possessed Channel 4 to let her get away with this nonsense? I refuse to watch anything she's in anymore.
