LOOKING FOR LOCAL COUPLES WITH A DOG FOR COMMERCIAL

Oh sweetie! You are totally hilarious.

No, in the end we found Court Lane Gardens rather claustrophobic - it is actually a simple terrace and there is no privacy for the essentials of modern family living. It was becoming so unfair on the poppets.

Max is far too tall now for his teeny loft bedroom suite with games room/cinema, wet room, music room, laundry shoot, extensive collection of authentic rugby memorabilia and nanny accommodation - he is getting quite tall, and when he comes home from Winchester at half term, we have no privacy at all (dabs tear from eye). Where was the space for the simple things? Clearly we require an acre for an organic veg plot, a coop for hens, the odd wind turbine? Not to mention a walk in shoe closet for the two guest suites... or a private spot to accommodate a hot tub? An outdoor arena and loose boxes (dabs tear from eye) for Freya's pony were totally out of the question. Genuinely now, there wasnt anywhere for me to practice my Pilates outdoors, out of sight if the neighbours. The lack of privacy became such a grind. We bought a country house but it simply wasn't Dulwich out there. In the end, it was actually the children that were suffering the most.

So with heavy hearts, we have been buying up homes in College Gardens for the last 18 months, with the intention of eventually razing that development to the ground and building a super little Huf Hauslet! It's only a hop and a skip from Gail's!

13,000 square metres of German engineered, sustainable, organic, Eco luxury - acres of glass and a roof choc full of solar panels, a permanent yurt (for the poppets), an outdoor wood burning pizza oven (hand built by Jamie Oliver himself) a gas BBQ, spa (that is a ground level hot tub sweetie), a 20 metre swimming pool, an artificial ski slope and snow machine, a cable car and zip wire - outdoor entertaining is very now! Obviously we will have an underground garage for a dozen vehicles, a heliport and a panic room the size of Peter Jones in Sloane Square.

Gosh but it is all taking an age. It's incredibly stressful you know. I am struggling to eat. Some of the pesky owners in the development don't want to sell up! James has arranged for the construction of an Olympic sized pigeon loft in he back garden of one of our new properties, another he has let out to some drum playing, marijuana smoking arts students and he is having noisy cellar excavations next to the remaining malingerers. With all of the noise, pigeon poo and dust, within a matter of months the remaining owners should sell up and college Gardens will be mine, all mine!

Er... I mean "ours", clearly!

Onwards and upwards...

Seriously, that is a shockingly poor payment. I paid about ?500 per actor for a performance and buyout about 6 years ago - for internal, company use. This is for a TV commercial for a phone company?
