Extreme judging of others (2008-06-04)

I bought this as a joke to my wifewe watched the first serie last nightand wow its that woman who use to do the lottery numberswho lives like she won it 3 times over with a house you would buyif you won yourself ok 1st she's a spotless person kind of house you take your shoes and socks off before you enter she wants the average middle/upper class person to be just like her regardless thats the program for yougot two stars as some of the tips are goodI wont watch no more she is way to smug for my liking

In the eye of the whirlwind (2007-09-10)

Anthea Turner is repeatedly described as a 'whirlwind' as she storms the nation's dirty, cluttered homes armed with baskets, labels and a feather duster. I watched this pen and paper in hand and noted lots of useful tips, not all of which are in the accompanying book. If you have to do something, such as the washing-up or towel folding, it's just as easy to do it the right way as the wrong way and Anthea will show you how. Her energy is infectious and has motivated me to get on with my own homemaking projects. On a different note, I was impressed with how Anthea manages to do housework without chipping her elaborate manicure and also how many clothes she has - she never wears the same coat twice. Only not five stars because I felt it could have been more instructive if it was in the format of (for example) a traditional cookery programme rather than the tired old reality tv format of 'let's watch as someone's life is transformed.'

fantastic motivator (2007-08-10)

I have bought this dvd allong with Antheas book and for the average "messy" person there are a lot of hints and tips e.g. creating a memory box meaning only keeping things that really mean everything to you not keeping every birthday card you used to get(like me!!).the dvd's are a good visual motivator because you can see bits of other peoples houses and realsie thats exactly what you need to do in yours.I'm halfway through decluttering my house and considering I thought I didn't have much clutter it's quite hard work but I can see the benefits already.my cleaning takes a lot less time in the rooms decluttered and I have time for more important things. A lot of Anthea's tips I find very useful like sort your post out as soon as it arrives if possible because it will clutter up the house.The DVD's are full of tips like this if you are of average "messyness" then the DVD's are geat go the whole hog and buy the book as well!!

Excellent - fun and informative..... (2007-07-29)

I live abroad and kept hearing reference to this series so I thought I would treat myself... Half way through the first DVD I pressed pause and started cleaning and organising. I would definitely recommend to anyone as, even for the houseproud housewife, there is lots to learn. The only negative thing I could say is that I can't believe she has any free time if she cleans her house all on her own !!! It's massive....
