I certainly agree with that comment! The people last night were, if
anything, even worse than the irritiating couple of lesbehavinyous
last week. Last night's pair didn't just not listen, their ignorance
cost them a ruddy fortune. And we never did learn what the final price
achieved was. The lady was kind of okay, but the bloke with his
insistence on trying to do everything single-handed was a PITA. I'll
bet the builders had a field day with snide comments behind his back.
What a plonker!

The end of the programme suggested that they probably werent going to be
able to sell, and probably haven't. Not sure when the programme was
filmed though?

From almost day 1, they were told that it would be worth around
£430,000, and they repeatedly insisted that they had researched the
area, and was definitely worth £450,000+. Like most people on the
programme, they completely ignored any expert advice offered.

She doesn't look quite so 'fragrant' as she once did, but pregnancy is
a very tiresome thing, I am led to believe. My mum never stopped
telling me how big I was. What is getting more irritating about this
programme is the amount of time spent dwelling on who is right and who
is wrong. I counted off 22 minutes into the programme, and they were
*still* arguing about that fireplace! I would much rather see more of
the actual work done and how it is done. Also, the cavalier way the
prices of things are just increased in such a careless way, like the
kitchen suddenly costing a fortune, or the electrics and heating
rocketing from £1,000 to £9,000 - none of these increases is ever
explained in any depth, in any of the episodes. Why was it necessary
to spend such a lot on the kitchen, for example? I am absolutely
convinced that you could achieve just as welcoming an overall 'look'
much more cheaply, without resorting to MFI. Maybe the real money is
in the books that accompany series like this and the programmes are
just one long advertising slot.

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

It is sometimes, I guess that they have to edit a lot of stuff to fit
into an hour, and also make each program different enough from the
rest.

Indeed, which is point SB often makes - but as ever the 'developers' get
too hung up on their personal likes, not practicalities and profit. Why
on earth decorate the second bedroom as a twee nursery?

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.

She claimed in a programme a while ago that (although she doesn't do it
now) she has in the past done most of the practical work necessary,
including plastering & wiring. That alone makes her attractive in my view.

Perhaps the director got her to stuff a pillow up there to maintain her
appearance. Alternatively, she's on her second pregnancy of the programme. I
don't know what the time period was.

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

Nope - there was a point in the program when Beeny had obvisouly dropped but

Perhaps the baby wasn't done yet, so they popped it back in for
another five minutes.

Don't forget she's a property developer. The pregnancy was initially
scheduled to be 9 months but with slipping timelines it became 10, then 11,
then 12......
