I've not heard of this lady before, but she is an East Dulwich incomer (Lounged)

Fantastic actress - love her in Gavin and Stacey

[PeckhamRose]

In my humble opinion this sort of activity is why people's kids can't afford to buy into the areas they grew up in.

She writes in answer to the question, "What is your financial priority?" "Paying off our mortgages and making sure that we have a roof over our heads." How many heads does she have? She says she thinks inheritance tax is "absolutely disgusting". Well I think owning more homes than you can live in is, too.

Having said that, she's a great actress and I LOVE Gavin and Stacey!

Swansea girl - my home town. The Times seems to like her

She's in this article too:

Obviously just appointed a new PR manager who's keen to impress.

In keeping with the recent 'moving out of east dulwich' thread, another fine example of the current trend of newspaper 'articles' wherein the interviewee is required to surrender pointless personal information ("my husband and I have joint bank accounts. Every month, he takes a chunk from the current account and places it into our savings") in return for a bit of free publicity.

[HonaloochieB]

Christ, what a good actress, apparently funny on screen but doesn't exactly lard her interviews with wit.

[macroban]

She's another person who has bought Bulgarian property.

[Muttley]

I love this quote from the article about her property empire: ?Now is very much the right time to be buying because we are in a falling market." I wonder if Foxtons have tried that line.

[JohnL]

Whats that Nick Davies on about - and why is he quoted anyway ?

?Our message is buy now before prices go up again. Property is always the best investment ? you can?t go wrong with it.?

buying a Bulgarian Ski property at an elevataion of about 800 M is one of the less well thought out long term investments.

she is a greedy so and so and Gavin & Stacey is crap.

[Gerrard]

Snorky - what makes her greedy? If she is fortunate enough to be able to invest some of her money in property then good for her. As an actress, her earning potential is likely to come in fits and spurts over time. Gavin & Stacey has been a big hit but who is to say that she will continue with this recent success? This may be the only time she is able to put something away for her future.

I find the second part of your post to be rather ignorant, which is in complete contrast to your first point about a ski property at 800m elevation.

[Pierre]

Would you rather she invested by buying property so that she could let it to others, or put her money in a high interest savings plan which is funded by investments in companies that make landmines and suchlike?

[phillyboy]

She claims Lordship lane is near the East london Line extension... am I mistaken or is that just not correct?

[She'llsurvive]

[timtim]

AND Snorky, Gavin and Stacey is not crap, its hilarious!

That's right. They say they're thinking about starting it in 2037, maybe.

Wrong answer.

[bon3yard]

And shes fit to boot. Although Gavin and Stacey is very funny I always saved my real gut aching laughter for 'Pulling' which was on directly afterwards...excellent writing and female characters that you can believe in for the first time in a long time.

Your first statement is incorrect. The ski runs in Bansko, Bulgaria start at 2600m and your second statement is childish.

I think she is fantastic! It is great that someone as cool and sexy as her is being so positive about East Dulwich! You go girl!!!!!!

Yeah, girlfriend!!!!! High four!!!! I'm from Springfield!!!

Edited because my three fingers caused me to spell Springfield with a 'd'.

Stupig fingers.

Edited for a secong time when, I realised that there there is a 'd' at the end of Sprindfielg and that the above may not make complete sense, unless you have as much to drink this evenind as I have, and even then...

[Blackjack]

I think she is such a wonderful actress. I saw her in the hollywood movie From Hell recently with Johnny Depp. She was amazing in it! I have also seen her in the movies Love Actually and Very Annie Mary she is brilliant and always comes across as a really nice down to earth person in tv interviews! Sounds like she is enjoying great success and well deserves it!

Re Bansko: I would advise a bit of googling on your point .

"I think she is fantastic! It is great that someone

> as cool and sexy as her is being so positive about
