My latest purchase is <drumroll>.... .......

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

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

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.

What!
You mean legs, GrannyLaine?

I'd be there for weeks.

Really?

I found as I got older my legs rarely need shaving, and my eyebrows have also stared to disappear so this is a much bigger problem for me as they are pepper and salt, but heavy on the salt. I have yet to find an eyebrow pencil that looks natural, blonde, grey, hazel, light brown, I’ve tried them all.

Try having your eyebrows tinted. X

I did it dry in my room, so she just crouched down. X

Calli really now even less!

Wish I could draw. Love to do a cartoon of you threading away as pages from the calendar flicked over.....

That would be hilarious. X

I'm going to have a go right now

How is that supposed to work then? I haven't managed to pull out one.

I remember my mum rubbing a grey sandpaper thing on her legs to remove the hair.
I shave my legs only below the knee down and have the scars to prove it.

Do you mean SilkyMitts? X

This threading business is tedious.

I give up. 10 minutes and not a single hair removed.

Flyinghandbag - Definitely!

I did pluck my legs (using eyebrow tweezers) one day during lockdown when I was a bit bored. Quite a good result. Just think the threading looks nifty when those Indian girls do it.

Comments seem a bit mean to me makes me reluctant to post anything

You post whatever you want to, confusedagain.

It's just good natured banter (I think!)

I agree.

I don’t think they are mean in fact I think there are some really amusing posts

Callistemon my DIL has taught herself to do threading on eyebrows and I think upper lip......

The thought of tweezering leg hair makes me squirm
