Cinnamon Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Did anyone else catch this show last night? It was on BBC3,so you may have missed it, but it was hysterical! I am not a great Anthea fan,so was fully prepared to hate every minute of it,but it was all VERY tongue in cheek, & I actually picked up a few good tips You should see my colour co-ordinated wardrobe now (Yes....I did it this afternoon ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Missed that one Sarah...wonder if they'll repeat it. I couldn't colour coordinate my wardrobe, everything is black I know what you mean about Anthea. It's awful really why she is avoided so much as I can't really say what it is about her I'm not keen on. She's always been ok on TV really. Was it all that publicity over her wedding that turned the worm (Is that the correct saying - I'm terrible at getting those back to front!)

SeramaSilly Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 She was a bit scary but really watchable! I'm going to have a go at putting the duvet cover on her way tonight - I always get in a right state with it! I think it will be a hit Sophie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I have a colour co-ordinated wardrobe! With duvet turn it inside out, put your hands inside the corners, hold the corners of the duvet through the cover and invert the duvet cover. Voila! Wardrobe and houseworking slipping as I'm really untidy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Are you related to Anthea Turner?! Sophie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 No! (Shudders). I don't really do much housework, I'm really lazy, but have the duvet sussed I am organised.....but then in hours it degenerates into mess I bet Anthea doesn't have a muddy section near the door that migrates into the kitchen when I go out to see the chickens.

Guest Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Me too - it is just logical isn't it. Seems a bit daft paying someone so much money to tell people how to do things. (Grumpy old woman sydrome?) But honeslty - do you really need to put underwear in different plastic bags - I guess if you have so much of it and it doesn't get worn for months then 'yes' but them surely you have too much? (Has that been on the programme yet? I read all about it in great detail a couple of weeks ago, and it just made me cringe. - definitely grumpy old woman syndrome. Life is too short to do a lot of the things she suggests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Didn't actually watch program Underwear/plastic bags seems like waste of time though. Mine live in a huge heap in the drawer. Did find watching how clean is your house inspired me to do housework Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 The lady who lives over the back from me has got an absolutely immaculate house and the brass door furniture on her front door you can see your face in! I wish I could be a bit more like that (well a lot more like that ) but I draw the line at putting bleach in the washing up water! She says she can't bear the smell of food and even when plates are washed she can smell it hence the bleach! She is a lovely lady though and knows it's a bit loopy! But then again on another poultry website I read you can put bleach in the chickens water! Sophie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Eughh! Sure it's not healthy, you need a balance of bacteria. There's a theory that allergies started by people being too clean for their own good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 umm My clothes are in blocks of colour white shirts and tops, blue, green, red, etc. Mind you I am ensuring that Paul, me, the woggles and the chooks keep fit by ensuring there are enough germs and dirt in the house to build up our immunity Anyone seen the advert for ambipur(?) toilet block that has essence of fruit vinegar in it. Wouldnt it be cheaper and better for the enviornment just to use vinegar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 We were discussing children and handwashing at school the other day, and one mum carries a bottle of hand sterilizer with her and thinks that all the school kids should be sprayed at each break time to cut down on colds etc. :rol She really didn't appreciate that being too clean can be detrimental too Karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Anthea Turner When I worked in my last job was around the time she was on EVERYTHING and I had a real downer on her as she was so false. I used to go to college one afternoon a week and my dear colleagues decided to do me an Anthea Turner s"Ooops, word censored!"book They even had the pictures that we had taken on a work trip to Alton Towers and one to Chessington and superimposed her picture onto them as a joke It was very funny they had spend weeks on it cutting pictures out of the paper and getting stuff from her website and I have to confess I still have the s"Ooops, word censored!"book now Still don't like her though and thank goodness for 'council telly' no BBC3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffie Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Not keen on her but worryingly I have been told we have ...similarities , Not in character I hasten to add. I think she is false and had to laugh at her 'classy' cocktail sausages last night . All that said it was funny, she has ideas above her station me thinks and is a control freak, it made me look sooo laid back BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 S"Ooops, word censored!" book is quite funny. We once made someone a goodbye card out of some of the leaflets we used to send out for Telewest. Anthea Turner did seem to be some sort of freak. It is nice if you have the money to spend so much on bedding/towels and champagne refridgerators. It depends on who you invite round to your parties.....my friends are the paper plate sausages sort of people. You don't want to look superior to your friends either. I did think she was harsh on the woman who lost. I'm sure saying that she was "number 2" was a euphemism. She blatently didn't like her or her opinions and she was doomed to lose. I wish I had a house like the other woman though.... I think if Anthea is so obsessed in folding towels like that she should do something about her roots. They need dyeing.....!
