I've just veet'd. It was quite painful, more so than getting it done in a salon, but that's probably down to my poor inexperienced technique. Took 30 mins to warm as opposed to the 20 mins stated. It was 'ok' a few rogue hairs left I pulled out with tweezers and a few patches that I've missed between strips I'm guessing. I also found it very difficult to do the back of my legs.
It says you can unplug the device to wax with but I left mine plugged in. The time it took me to unplug and walk to the bathroom it seemed to go claggy so I retreated back to the bedroom to wax with it plugged in.
In my opinion you need more strips, but again maybe that's me not using them to their full capacity with my inexperience. Also I found the finishing wipes did the job of removing the wax but left my legs really greasy and I felt unable to put clothes on until I had washed them

I tried my veet tonight too. Took ages to warm up (30+ mins) and then cooled down way too quickly when unplugged so had to keep plugging it back in.
Didn't find it particularly painful but did have very red legs afterwards and lots of wax residue. Like leanne85 I found the wipes very greasy and I also thought they smelt awful.
The overall result was okay but took so long I think I will just stick to my epilator in future.

Got the Entertaining Cheese, which is lovely as I love cheese and was thinking Bzz didn't like me anymore.

Are they the sort of thing you'd normally buy? Not entirely sure what I'll do with mine recipe wise, they don't fit in with my normal everyday recipes.

I do like different types of cheese and graze type meals, so they should be ideal for me. And the walk to the big supermarket to fetch them should burn off the calories
