    Have you thought of investing in an epilator?? I got one a few weeks ago when Braun were doing a 1/3 off. Not used a razor blade of shaving gel since...hopefully it'll save me a packet!
    Are they the things that yank the hair out from the roots? No thanks! They scare me...:eek:

    Spreadsheet is now up and running. It's very nice!

    I have a front page which I can put all the figures into and then it subtracts from my budget so I can see how much money I have left to go!

    Yeah but apparently after a while of using one, the hair doesn't grow back!

    I got a bit fed up buying blades for my venus and I always end up slicing my ankle when I used a new blade for the 1st time...I never seemed to catch on that they're sharp! :rolleyes:

    Ooooh yeah ankles and knees are my problem - thing is I play netball too! I look like I've had a run in with a combine harvester plus I have a nasty burn on my hand from the oven - I will learn one day....they are HOT, HOT, HOT!

    I've got an epilator but I hardly ever use it, it was the pain but don't you find it takes soooo long?? It took me nearly half an hour to do half a leg!

    I wish I got on with it though because it would be so much cheaper... bloody razor blades are extortionate!
