    Ooh eeek, how did she get glass in her toe. Hope it gets sorted quickly for her today.

    I have no idea Teatime, neither does she, although I am half suspecting it could be a piece of needle left behind from before, rearing its ugly head again ! I shouldnt laugh but she is such a comical character and as much as its hurting her, we keep finding it funny as well !

    Glad slowly fading gave you the link. I'm not sure how Mr Pinot watched it last night but I am guessing it was i player. Its amazing what they do to peoples houses in such a short space of time. the programme always gets me as these families are usually in such dire need of help , it really puts things into perspective. Last nights though was an absolute killer. Mr Pinot called after he had finished watching it and said he was literally in pieces as they were such a lovely family. You dont need to watch it every week it doesnt follow on from one episode to another, I'm not sure when I last watched it but I think I may have mentioend it before on my diary, another night where I sat and cried for them !

    Anyway enough of that now, think happy thoughts Mrs Pinot............. :D Heres that big manic grin again !

    Have a good day everyone x

    I tend to lurk on a lot of diaries, and have of my own, but thought I'd actually say something for a change :o

    No I didn't - started to watch it this morning but got very emotional and I have to go to work! So I need to watch it on my own in an evening ;) how did she get glass in her foot?

    Hi Pinot

    I hope DD1s foot is ok and they sort her out in the hospital it sounds really painful. I remember getting half a needle, eye end, stuck sideways across my finger when I was little. It was awful and left a nice scar on my finger once removed.

    I'm going to watch DIY later, I couldn't watch it last night cos I was feeling Grumpy all day and couldn't face it.

    Hope you have a good day

    I suspect I have lurked on your diary actually as I knew the name !! I am glad you said something, you are very welcome here but it can get a bit silly at times !!

    Totally agree with the emotional bit, one to watch with a big glass of wine I think.

    No idea onthe glass, if thats what it is. Daft girl !!

    Glad you had a wonderful wedding day x

    :rotfl: I'm so glad I wasn't the only one. I even thought, probably not a sensible thing to do with a bad toe. "silly, silly Granny"
