Morning Makeover

Have you seen '60 Minute Makeover' on glorious daytime TV? Whilst someone is out of their home a relative lets in a crew of carpenters, decorators etc and in 60 minutes the house is transformed. Today we had the 'morning makeover'. We have been house-sitting for Jane's parents who have just returned from their 8 week holiday in NZ, and we are leaving within 24 hours before they notice anything wrong!
Our blog may be a bit quiet for a couple of weeks whilst we visit J, but we will try and post some info and pics as we travel. P
PS see Harry Hill's clip about the programme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc-0cA5tefo
