The problem is that I still insist on wearing thongs (flip-flops to you) or bare feet in the shed or garden. The first I am aware of a problem is a trail of blood through the house or on the back patio.

What can you do?

Another silly sod!!! - Rule of thumb, NEVER go out into your shed or elsewher unless your feet are covered properly in shoes or slippers!!!

Re: Done some damage.

Thanks everyone i knw i should wear footwear at all times, but it stems from working on sites and having to wear heavy protective boots all day, i was glad to be able to ditch them once home, a habit im afraid.

Finding footwear is now a problem, as my feet are swollen, hopefully the physio will help reduce the swelling.

Mind you looking down at them this morning they are a bit raw and yes UJ silly sod does pretty sum me up.

Joe, me old pal, me old beauty.

You just leave my Chinese safety footwear out of this.

I spent nearly my whole working life wearing steel capped safety boots and woollen fire/heat resistant socks I can live with a little blood.
