smell

Its really big this thing. we are less smell tolerant than we were in the past. ATM I feel a bit don because we have loads of litter trays (5) of which three are open because its what the feral prefers...and the smell even though they are done daily/twice a day really gets be down. ATM this is added to ''eud de wet dog'' in this rain,and musty house.


Our new poo tank is being delivered on Tuesday! Hurrah for progress. Not sure when it will be installed...that becomes disruptive and muddy but whohoo....this is a big thing here!

Does your wife like men in them too then?:D

I don't know, I generally don't check with other people when I decide what to wear.

She knew what it was to be with me from the start. You get scruffy Tshirt's, faded jeans and various large jumpers when it gets cold. And that's it

So I expect the answer is yes then, otherwise she wouldn't have been with me from the start.

i remember i had an old wax barbour jacket that i too wore to death, i had it for YEARS... my mother used to chuck it out [hoping to hide it in one of my sheds until she thought id lost it and then dispose of it!!] behind my back and i would always retrieve it much to her shame !!
in the end i had to give up wearing it mainly due to the smell !! BUT it didnt go to the bin ...i chopped it about and made a dog coat for my lurcher [had smart chord collar etc], she looked really trendy tho im not sure if the smell got to her too as even after washing and reproofing it it had its own distinct perfume in an enclosed area !!

I inherited my barbour from my Dad, it has to have it's own private room (with a window) due to the smell, it's really time it was put out to pasture tbh.

Have you seen the cost though! At the moment I'm wearing a delightful North sea oil rig VERY bright yellow oil skin type thing, with integral furry insides

i had this problem with my elderly cat needing a tray inside this winter. i ended up using one of those plug in smelly things [ warm spices!] and it made such a difference.... i hate all the nasty synthetic smelling ones but this was a nice aroma.

p.s. just seen news that the germans have sent us "bad" eggs..... all the more reason why im happy iv got free range of my own!!

I'm trying those...and like you not keen on plug in things. BHall are better than the smell of cat. I also burn candles daily...even unscented help clear the air though I love scented ones.

We use a water burner with a candle underneath and essential oils. I won't allow any fake chemical smell horrible things in the house.

Wouldn't they sell well on ebay?

I did a quick search on ebay for wool jumpers and this was one of the first that came up. I'll have two please.

We do that too. I'm generally opposed to it too...but atm is dificult wih candles and oil burners....for example right now I have an eleven month old in the house (not mine!) the cats the dogs the woodburner the million little things we don't have to think about with no kids are all suddenly treacherous! A candle/burner would be a step too far for me today! Itsprobably easier when you do it 24 hours a day!
