  I would like to be in a episode of your programme because my mum has always gone banging on about certain rooms in the house and that they need done but we cannot afford to do it our selfs especially in 60 minutes I usually watch your programme and it would be nice some one else watching our home being turned around by you. Thankyou please may you get back to me.

  I would love to arrange a surprise for my partner in redoacorating the bathroom and our bedroom. We have lived in our property for just over five years and are trying to do up our house but our bedroom remains at the bottom of the list. It would be a wonderful surprise for my partner to present a beautiful bedroom. It might entice him to bed earlier as he always falls asleep down stairs.I think the programme is great when it sets up a surprise for someone. The designs are always wonderful. If you could send me further details I wouls be most grateful. Thank-you yours sincerely Rebecca Piper.

  I would like to know how to get a programme make over for my daughter, she is 42,married,she has FibroMyalgia, her husband is on basic wage, a daughter of 20 who has ADD and a son who is registered disabled with a knee problem, they live in a 3 bedroom Housing Association House in Worthing,West Sussex, My daughter was a carer and was just looking into going into Nursing when the disease struck, she has gone from a hard working mother to someone who sometimes can barely walk, and is in pain 95% of time, money is tight she spends all her time at home and though they have decorated it takes money and time.... and of course they do not have the expertise, her husband can take as long as 2 years to actually finish off the small details of decorating, I would be so grateful if there is anything you can do

  I love every room that John Amabile does. I used to watch him on Carol Vorderman's UTV makeover programme too. My friend and I used to watch that programme and tell each other what we would like done to our house if it could ever happen but we always argued because we both wanted John to do the house. Has John ever published any style books or would he like to start. Keep up the good work John...

  Would you please consider in helping me give my husband the treat that he really deserves? We have been married for nearly 35 years and during all that time he has been a most caring husband and father. It`s 15 year`s since our then 15 year`s old daughter suffered a severe brain injury after being knocked down in by a car. It was at least 10 year`s before she almost better. Together we spent many many hours encouraging her to do the very ordinary things like walking and talking again.During this time my husband was of course having to work.Then 3 years ago he was made redundant after working for the same company for 40 year`s. For 2 year`s he did painting and diy jobs so we were able to give our lovely daughter the wedding he thought she deserved.He also does so many things to make my life easier to bear.I suffered a back injury in1 988 and haven`t been able to work since. He does so many thing`s for me ,some which cannot be put in this open message.could you please mail me an application form and then I can tell you of even more reasons why my husband deserves the 60 minute makeover team to pay our house a visit.I know that he would be delighted to rid our bedroom of pink and rose`s, and our sitting room of pink and rose`s!both rooms have been like it for at least 10 year`s.I love my husband so much and would be so happy if you could help me show him so.

  What an annoying person Terri Dwyer is. Does she do anything except get in the way? It's a wonder one or more of the tradesmen/women hasn't told to get out of the way.

  I would like my mum to have a 60 minute makeover because she is a full time carer of my granny, her mother and looks after me and my brother aswel. she never finds time to do anything for herself or to do any home improvements.

• March 28th - 10:14pmkatemcguiness marsh hill said...

  I never really watch the 60 minute makeover but today as I was walking to my nan's all I could hear was a voice that kind of reminded me of someone but as I got to see the television i saw my reception teacher on the T.V on 60 minute makeover my friend alix lives next door to my reception teacher she was her reception. I couldent believe it when I saw it. The name of the woman doing it for her daughter in law was called Jane but we call her MRS crocket.

  I knew why she was doing it since her son paul died. At school we have a bench dedacated to Paul. This is a message to MRS Crocket saying thank you for all you have done for me a big shock just seing you on the t.v

  Would you please help me to give my husband and kids the treat they deserve. I have just qualified as a staff nurse. i have had to study full time at university as well as working full time on placements in the hospitals. My children are only now 12 and 10 and the support from them and my husband was 110% even though at times i felt very guilty because my husband also has a full time job and works very hard. They are now all so proud of me and i would like to return the thanks and support that they have given me over the last 4years to make my dream come true.

  BRill programe. keep up the good work.

• April 16th - 2:50pmchris said...

  wow - your makeovers are always fantastic. What an amazing team you have.

  I am writing to ask if you would consider doing my mum's home. She has been caring for her husband who has over the last two years had both knees totally replaced. Before he had his operation he always made time to do DIY jobs for me and helped all his friends with jobs around their houses. Since his first operation he has not been able to do any DIY jobs for himself or others which is a shame as his own home is in need of a total makeover. My mum never asks for anything but says how she would like her living room and bathroom to be redone. Both being OAP's I can't see this being done. Is there any chance that you would consider them. many thanks

• April 16th - 6:01pmSue Glass said...

  Please could you let me have the contact for the Time Square Wallpaper Poster used in the recent program,for a teenagers bedroom.Its just what we need for our sons studio.

• April 22nd - 3:45pmlisa roberts said...

  i like the program, but what i have yet to see is a makeover in little flat or a terrace house, or council estate. is it only a certain criteria? if so, then it is totally unfair,as all the houses i have seen have been lovely large houses. how about giving someone a makeover who really could do with it.

• April 23rd - 7:53amcatherine green said...

  i would love my mum to have a 60minute make over.she as worked hard all her life done everythink for me and my sister and now she no longer can do her house and it is in great need .she watches your programe all the time and gets really upset saying how she would be totally over welled if it happened to her.you really do do a outstanding job so well done to everyone .

• April 23rd - 12:04amgreta barwe said...

  Hello, I am asking if you could consider doing our house. My husband works very hard and he works away from home and he only comes home over the weekend. Every time he is home, he is ever so tired and thats when i go to work so i leave him with our son as work part time when he home. With this set up he has got no time to do any DIY. Our house is crying for help. I would like to thank him for being such a good husband since i was out of work for nearly 3years and he never complained. I would appreciate it if you could help me. Thank you.

• April 24th - 2:54pmLouisa Layton said...

  Hello my name is Louisa and I live with my adorable partner Paul in Brighton. Although adorable he nags me continually and also gets very stressed due to the fact we run a small business from home as well as both working full time. There are always boxes of stock lying around just due to a lack of space and storage. My poor Paul is so hard working often leaving for work at around 7.30am then returning at 18.30 and then working on our home business til 1am most days and all weekend. As you can see from this there is lack of time to do any DIY, even if we did have all the time in the world, my poor love cannot hang a picture. He would be so thrilled to be suprised like this. Loving your work and your surprises.

  Look forward to hearing from you

  Louisa

  my mother is 77 in July. Simply she is the best mother and grandmother there is. My dad died when she was 45 and she has taken care of me and my sister single handed. She has worked all her life and I would like to give her something she will always remember and I can't think of anything better than a makeover. She lives in a small one bedroom flat in Hatfield, Hertfordshire.

• April 24th - 9:37pmRuth Ackroyd said...

  Hi, after 21 years of marriage my friend's husband left her out of the blue (this was shortly after telling her how much he loved her) so you can imagine how devasted and numb she felt. To top it all off he had put the house on the business and left her destitute. She found a new love but has not got the finances to do the house. If this would be at all possible it would be a dream come true. I would so much like for this to happen to her as I believe that miracles still happen, please, please I would much appreciate consideration and it would let her beautiful children believe too, Beth 15 and Ian 17. Many, many thanks.

  My friend is a lovely person and wants nothing for herself.

  Thank you

  Hi I am sat watching your programe 60 minute makeover whilst recovering from a major back operation, and must say it is truely amazing how your achieve the amazing results in just 60 minutes. I would love to nominate my boyfriends house to be made over as he has looked after me thoughout my illness, we have only been together for 17 months and in that time I have been in hospital several times and everytime he has travelled to see me, looked after my children and never complained even though he is very busy at work. I suffer from Fribromyalgia and have moved in with him along with my 2 children, he has two children which stay with us every other weekend and one night per week, having had back surgery I can not offer much help around the house and he has not time to even have his own time. I would be so grateful if you could change his life by doing this makeover that he truely deserves. My children have also been through a traumatic divorce and we ended up in rented accommotion for 4 years prior to moving in with jonny my partner, without jonny my children would not have the little extras that most children take for granted and that is because jonny as taken them on as his own kids. The kids and I would love to say a big thankyou to jonny to say how much we love him and show him that we appreciate him so much. I hope that my letter reaches you and would love for you to surprise him with this wonderfull surprise as he deserves so much. Many thanks, susie
