    But once you've done it once it's a case of just keeping on top of it so not so bad;) legs not painful at all surprisingly enough!

    You do realise - you're convincing exactly *nobody* saying that...

    Honestly, maybe I have a high pain threshold but legs really not painful at all.

    MS today - off to wash car now instead of going to car wash, dash those drippy trees, it's all sticky again after a week.

    Have saved some red wine so may do my legs today!:eek:
    Trying to do a short report for my dissertation[STRIKE] victims [/STRIKE]participants so it will be less painful than that. Oh the things to do when procrastinating!

    I've heard some folk take ibruprofen before waxing so maybe that's an idea Butti?

    As my FB friends will know there are big changes on the way for me - full time studentdom beckons and so I will need to stay on track financially! Back to carbooting and ebay I'm afraid :D, still I'm not too worried that we'll starve or anything so not all bad.

    I have also bought wool and a crochet hook, and got a book on crocheting out of the library! Must be a middle aged woman thing!

    What? You paint them in red wine and it numbs the pain?

    Or is it just so you can't see the bleeding?

    Strychnine could possibly help too.

    Oh? What you going for?

    You can always wait round for when a stray charva goes past your door...

    Definitely not a middle-age thing. I have no wool. I have no hook. I do have absolutely no desire to get either...

    Mischeavous Mr Z (suspect there's something wrong with that spelling). You're not a woman either, or unemployed, so that could explain it.

    I have managed a chain:beer: Go me. Have no idea how to get on to the next stage!

    Skinty do you know whether you are heading south at the weekend?

    I'm not too sure there's a lot of ways you can spell Z. I suppose it could be an N, pulling a wheelie...

    Don't mind *why* I'm not crocheting - just so long as I'm not... :rotfl:
