What's wrong with resorting to MFI?
Where do you want me to start? (How about the emergency exit?) Come on, let's hear it. Compared with other suppliers of cheaper kitchens, I find them superior. We're not comparing with John Lewis here. B&Q = has stock, but limited range, especially of hardwoods Ikea = weird modern designs, has half the stock, other is always next week, but isn't Wickes = see B&Q MFI = Very extensive range. Choice of prebuilt or flatpack. Large range of modern and traditional designs, including hardwoods Christian. |

SB at end - not pregnant, just fat.
The finances of these developments are opaque - the other week SB asked the developers (I think it was the two baggage handlers) how much the development had cost and they said they din't know and SB said "It cost £65,000" - how did she know ? I conclude the orders for all the stuff are placed by the programme producers who keep a running tab and negotiate assorted freebies and discounts from suppliers along the way. Just like in "£1M Property Experiment" it turned out most of the stuff had been given free. How come no-one who has been on that show has posted inside information on it here ? - I bet they all read it. |

Tonight's Property Ladder: A) Beginning of program - 1. Beeny pregnant 2. House clearly not started 3. House owner lady not pregnant B) Middle of program - 1. Beeny more pregnant than in A 2. House half demolished 3. House owner lady tells us she's pregnant C) End of program - 1. Beeny *still* pregnant 2. House completed 3. House owner lady has given birth and is holding baby Now I'm no biologist, but WTF is going on here?? Beeny was pregnant twice in quick succession? R |

It's yet more evidence that all the people on TV are actually aliens, controlling us with their evil mind-rays-of-subjugation. |
