You know that thing where you keep your eyes really open, so any stupid girlie tears can’t form?!

Its not your house is it, havent seen the episode tonight yet.

😀

It was the pointing, it was just so beautiful!

Watched 5 mins, saw plenty of lintels going in 😉

Bastards!

Hmm, touching as it was, there are many other families getting no help or support.

So – should it be lots to few or less to many?

I did a DIY SOS recently in Bury, put 6 days in.

They’re doing one every 2 weeks approximately and they’re at least 18 months behind with the episodes.

Was a great week and I’d do it again, the catering was brilliant!

how did you get involved in helping?

How exactly is it all funded?

Funding is complicated and I don’t know all the details. I do know that they get a lot of goodwill from certain suppliers, they also get regular labour from very large organisations for free. They are still getting paid by their respective employers and some treat it as a bit of a jolly. Some of the money comes from things like children in need and the BBC direct, there where about 4 camera and sound guys, 1 H&S guy, couple of runners and the regular cast, who are all salary staff.

On the one I did, probably less than half of the lads where actual volunteers.

I found out about it via a facebook flyer
