Chicken deficient Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Now that it is getting summery and sitting out in the garden in the evening is actually possible... ...Don't spray your legs with Citronella formula insect repellent when they've just been waxed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Oooooch! On the other hand my hot tip of the day is to find somewhere shady - I'm wilting!!!!! I am not sitting in the freezer yet though, now that would be silly. But I'm cursing the shelves in the fridge for being inconveniently placed.

Alis girls Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Go to the supermarket and open a freezer door and stand there for a couple of mins or till you are told off. I also find flapping the top of my T shirt whilst doing this cools the appendages only us gals have. Blisssssssssssss and ouch to the wax and citronella -i feel your pain - shaving and then deodorant has a sinmilar affect.its not nice being menopausal in a heatwave I will tell you.

SarahJo Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 this also applies to the Dead Sea if you ever go - do not enter with any cuts or freshly shaved areas - stings like a banshee My top tip today would be - get up & do all the hot jobs early, then siesta in the afternoon, mind you I have not had time for the second part & still have to take boys swim training in Manchester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 For those of you who feel the heat; dampen some hand towels and put them in carrier bags in the freezer for about an hour - they are lovely and cool when the come out. I take them in a cool bag to Rosie's summer races when she needs cooling down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pips_pekins Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Ouch! My tip of the day would be don't be tempted by the special offer chocolate on your way to work Bought big bar of chocolate with a few other bits on my way in thinking I could put it in work's fridge for later ... Got distracted and forgot it was in the boot until I got home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got distracted and forgot it was in the boot until I got home This puts me in mind of a friend who had an old Maestro and did the shopping one week at the beginning of summer and slung it all, in carrier bags, in the back of the car rather than the boot. She was convinced that she had bought a pack of butter but couldn't find it when she came to unpack. Over the next few, sweltering weeks, she noticed an odd smell and could not work out what it was.......yup, you guessed it! The butter had fallen out of the bag, gone under the back seat somehow and then gently melted into the carpet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Reminds me of the story LBB told me of her OH forgetting he had a dead rabbit in the back of the Landy and how it festered in the heat..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken deficient Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 My friend was given a work car that had a funny smell about it. Many weeks of vigorous cleaning and air freshening later, she found the dead hamster under the passenger seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 sorry I laughed - not at the fact its dead cos it was found in the car. Poor thing and poor friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I work with all men, and they have a decidedly odd sense of humour.... I NEVER leave my car unlocked when it's parked at work; I have seen what they've left in other people's cars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Dont be holding the kitten in the garden in a strappy top (me not kitten ) when OH puts on strimmer - result a large red scratch from left armpit to left boob and over left shoulder - and she wails pathetically " it hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrts" on a scale of 1-10 - 10 being highest its 20!! Wimp - yes!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I epilate with my braun... and would never dream of adding anything to my freshly plucked legs till the chicken plucked effect has worn off. It would be too painful. Ouchhhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I epilate my legs and it doesn't hurt (much ) but, take it from me....experience yesterday told me that an epilator is NOT suitable for underarms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
