Thanks, it wasn't as bad as we expected it would be. It's unusual seeing it all put together - we hadn't seen it before tonight either. Note - we are not sharemilkers, and DF has a replacement tooth now... Still kind of cringeworthy though!! |

Yes, the new rules are still in practice, and we'll be debt free (except student loans) by Christmas, which is a huge relief. The Holden is still around though, and hasn't been sold... 
Thanks, I really wasn't sure how it would be presented!! |

We watched it, you and your DF looked great, it's hard being on TV aye, as you don't know how it is going to come out like. Have you put the holden on Trade Me? All the best  ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

All through the show, I kept saying 'she's familiar from somewhere...'... now it makes sense! That was a great episode - you guys were awesome on it! I really like that show, eh. OK so tell us... does Brendon really speak like that all the time, or is it mostly for the cameras?! And how'd the meal thing work out? ('cause I liked the idea). ------------- Andie |

Brendon is sooooo not like that off camera - he's a hard case, and soooooo funny. Really good at forgetting his lines as well. We want the bloopers reel, it would keep us entertained for hours!!!
The meal thing - well, we didn't quite manage to stick to that, although we definitely aren't spending $125 a week on lunch and takeaways anymore  Maybe $20 a fortnight instead. We just cook up something quick after work - mince, steak, schnitzel - or chuck a stew or something on in the slow cooker in the morning.

| Lisha - it's even more terrifying when you film for 6 days total, and you have NOOOOOOO idea which bits they're going to choose for the actual 20 minutes that will be on TV. They took out a few of the good bits. |

Thanks Lisha, I watched you! You didn't seem nervous at all, and you looked great!
I totally agree Kate, we had 3.5 days filming for about 10 mins worth, and have no idea what is going to be included, its quite fun while they're filming but scary not having any say in the final results. I'm sure Ella will love watching herself, even if DH and I are cringing behind the couch ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

How many goes did it take, for you and DF to hit the targets?

| Ahhh, the targets. First they were supposed to be hit with a paint gun....but the pellets kept going straight through them. Then we tried rocks....but couldn't find enough. Finally, they were knocked down with....ta da! Feijoas!! Ummm, they all went down on the first try, it's just whether they were happy with the shot was another story. At one stage the camera man decided he wanted to shoot from flat on his back (unintentionally while running backwards up the hill) which was pretty funny at the time. |
