I see there is a new cleaning show starting on (monday night I think)...has anyone seen the trailer advertising it? I cant remember the name now...cleaning something....aagghh this menopause ..me memory

Not heard about that chaddy, what sides it on? PLease let it be a terrestrial channel.........rushing out to get next weeks TV magazine

Can't find anything in next week's RT after a quick look - is it local to your part of the world I wonder, Chaddy? Do wish K & A would return.

I saw a new cleaning programme advertised the other day, think it`s on cable/sky, was it called cleanaholics or something lie that?

here`s a link i`ve just foound to another thread on this site about it

Confused now, is it on Discovery then? Can't get that channel

Me neither! Personally I find the five terrestrial channels quite enough to cope with.

FB, Jens, this is an old thread about our Anthea.....roll on the next series

Snow*White

I think cleaningacholics is the right name and it is on sky one i think Mon about 6-7ish...still looking at tv guide

Oh well, no good to me then....... Chaddy, you'll have to give us an account of it every week

Ooh, don't think I've seen that K & A show, come on C4, repeat them, we're all getting withdrawal symptoms!
Can't wait for your reports on the new show chaddy

Anyone see an article in today's Daily Mail about a woman who gets up at 5.30 every morning and spends almost the entire day cleaning her 3-bedroom house from top to bottom?! Even her son has to have in shoes cleaned before he's allowed in after school! Apparently she's appearing in Cleanaholics on 28 April.

Wanted to edit above but have been told I don't have permission! I'd like to know why, I've always been able to before.

Just wanted to add that it's being shown on the Discovery Home and Health channel so I shan't be able to watch it.

I've noticed that posts can be edited, but only for about a period of 20 seconds or so after you have posted! Then it says you don't have permission.
I know it used to allow editing for a longer period after posting...a few minutes I think!

Wish they'd give us a bit extra time to edit posts..........

The new programme sounds good, can't imagine getting up at 5.30am to clean up......... Wonder if she has that OCD (is that what it's called? )

That's what they reckon. There are three more in today's Mail. I'm all in favour of a clean house and everything neat and tidy, but there are limits!

I saw a programme recently where a woman felt that she had to clean almost the whole of her house from top to bottom every single day. She had some sort of treatment for her obsession, and I think she was then a lot better, but not completely cured.

It must be awful for them, and it can't be healthy either, too few germs are as bad as too many, don't we need some in order to fight off diseases , allergies etc?

Yes, I'm sure I've heard that children growing up in a home with a little bit of dust and a few germs are likely to be a lot healthier than those growing up in an absolutely spotless house, especially in respect of allergies.

No time to edit again , but I also meant to say that included a home with pets as well.

According to today's Mail dusty homes can prevent asthma in children. So it seems it doesn't pay to have homes that are too sterile.

Yes that's what I've heard about childhood asthma Jenny. We were worried that my son may develop asthma as Mr.J has it, but he's nearly 25 now and hasn't suffered from it. We have always had cats until a couple of years ago, although Mr.J is actually allergic to cats...but he seemed to become immune and desensitised to them in the end as they were always around since we got married!

I also meant to say that his asthma has improved a lot over the years to the extent that he hardly suffers from it now.
I do wish we could edit posts on here!

My cousin had asthma & eczema as a baby but seems to have more or less grown out of them now.
