Do most women have legs that actually need shaving/waxing? Never had to do mine, apart from plucking a few hairs.

Really?

What!
You mean legs, GrannyLaine?

I'd be there for weeks.

Anyone ever tried threading? Always thought that would be a great skill to have. Great way of using up all the reels of cotton that are simply too old to sew with.

I feel for your poor Mother Flying as I imagine her crawling on the bathroom floor checking the backs of your legs for rogue hairs.?

Interesting post, reminded me to find my Lady-shave (not been used for months) and remove the pelt from my legs, however this made me think of all the poor souls missing their expensive facials, threading, waxing, dyeing, manicuring,tanning, moisturising, massages. how do they manage I wonder.

I'm very pleased with it. X

OK so I have always been very hairy but less now thank goodness though seems to extend to eyebrows losing hair too ??? A few years ago was persuaded to get legs waxed and this was so much better (bit painful but so was shaving) and did that once a year for summer. I have Braun shavers on my stream now so not only FB is listening but all cookies cooking!

Thinking of Marydoll's transistor radio battery, did anyone ever test it to see how much life was left in it, by sticking their tongue on the little metal things? Gives a hell of a charge!

I am on my second Ladyshave. Used them for years. I use it on my lower face too every few days. I'd hate to be an old lady with a hairy chin.

It's a very important job, changing batteries.
And they do get recycled properly.

Now, I must sort out my piebald legs tomorrow. If it's going to be hot it could be a shorts day.

In that case Callistemon I can rest easy knowing they will be in safe hands.

You're very posh Marydoll

DH is the battery man in this house, Lexisgranny
I just put on the helpless woman act although I am as capable of changing batteries as he is.
It makes him feel better and saves me a job.

lemongrove I don't know whether to or groan

Mwah?xxxx

An ex nephew? What did he do to become an ex?

Sorry, that was not Ex, it was a multiplication sign X
You know, maths and all that stuff.

He was a great-great-great-great nephew (or could have been one more or less - or more).

This thread should be reported for assault and battery.....assaulting the eyes and battering the brain.?

Callistamon I am a little concerned for the welfare of those poor batteries left to roll round in a drawer, particularly when you seem uncertain of the particular drawer they are in. What if you have a battery emergency?.

much more interesting than a Lady Shave never!!!
There's more to come I'm sure. ?

Callistamon I would hang onto them for a while. They can only go up in value?

Lexisgranny Now your talking. Truely the un sung hero???

You have all forgotten this type. (Other makes are available). There is something strong and sleek about it.
Fifty years ago, this type of battery powered my little, yellow, portable radio. Much more interesting than a Ladyshave.
I used to listen to the Top Twenty on it every a Sunday evening. Happy days! Sigh!

An ex nephew? What did he do to become an ex?

I can't believe that!

We have rechargeable ones but, quite honestly, they're c**p

Sorry for the rude word.
Although - listen up everyone- I met someone who was a great-greatX? nephew of Thomas Crapper.

I had a small Lithium battery once, I gave it away , free of charge
