I have always thought that my hands smell of biscuits in the morning! Why not try it tomorrow and see how many of us agree?

Bags My knees, when I eventually get down to sniffing them, will be a subtle aroma of Dove soap and Nivea. I used to think my Nana smelled like Ovaltine. My Grandpa, on the other hand, smelled of horse manure [that's because he was a groom of Co-op horses that delivered milk...]
And, no! My armpits have a wee downy fluff that does no-one any harm...so it stays put grin

I do remember sniffing my knees in the bath, yes. Don't think biscuits came to mind...Perhaps she just smells fruity? confused

The christmas cake reference is not so strange, really. Does nobody else remember sniffing their knees as a child in the bath and thinking that they smelled like biscuits?

What! No-one else? Maybe I am strange, after all. wink

I've never been particularly hairy, nor have I ever shaved my legs (very fair hair anyway!). I do shave my armpits, though.

How does she know what she smells like in the morning, anyway? Perhaps she means a very mature, alcohol-laced Chrismas cake? confused

Not me jingle the article grin grin

Glass you are soooo strange! shock wink

One of the dubious benefits I have found of advancing years is the reduction in body hair - everywhere. I occasionally remember about my legs, but armpits? with my bingo wings, sleeveless is not really an option. So, all you young things - look forward to your sixties!

glassortwo Wed 02-May-12 11:25:13

No way I say shock does anyone smell like Christmas cake in the morning or am I strange grin

This is funny. Especially like the exchange with the small child. grin
