I think you have to go first

LadyOfWaffle · 28/01/2009 04:03

O crap. OK, I'll get you all started... I can't remember when I last shaved my legs Weeks, rather than months, but stilll...

I so hope this thread takes off otherwise I am just going to look a dirty fecker!

Um LOW I have NEVER shaved my legs!

SuperBunny · 28/01/2009 04:20

You dirty fecker, LoW

I do mine every day (otherwise I feel horrible)

I am sure there are tons of unpleasant things I do but not in public. Not usually, anyway

LadyOfWaffle · 28/01/2009 13:39

shaving legs !!!! could plait them ( although get a bit confused where the leg hairs end and the muff begins )

{grin]

really should name change for this one!!

VinegarTits · 28/01/2009 13:41

I sit on the bog with my laptop and MN

I'm not doing it now though as im in work

Usually of an evening once ds2 has gone to bed

KingCanuteIAm · 28/01/2009 13:42

Don't shave legs during any months in which tousers are a requirement (ie September through to May at least).

At the end of the day, no-body but me is going to see them so I am saving money, time and the environment.

MrsBadger · 28/01/2009 13:43

I buy clothes for dd on ebay...

[runs]

Anglepoise · 28/01/2009 13:46

Pmsl @ MrsB

I do most of the things on the first page of the grotty men thread (that was as far as I read, for the shame )

PenelopePitstops · 28/01/2009 13:46

kingcanute im like you, summer shaves only!

TigerFeet · 28/01/2009 13:47

I've done that before now VT [shame]

Before dd was born her room was a guest room that had an old telly in it. I could sit on the bog with the door open and see right through to the telly in that room... great for when you don't want to miss a crucial bit of Eastenders . One day I was sat there watching telly on the loo when I realised that you can also see straight down the stairs and straight through the glass in the front door. The postman could also see straight up the stairs and into the bathroom. He started leaving parcels inside the garden gate after that

We have since replaced said door with a more solid version with the sort of glass one can't see through...

KingCanuteIAm · 28/01/2009 13:47

Where is the grotty men thread then? I have not noticed it and am intrigued now!

poshwellies · 28/01/2009 13:48

Another summer shaver signing in..

DorisIsAPinkDragon · 28/01/2009 13:49

Anglepoise the first page of that thread is ok but it just gets better and better grosser and grosser

trying to think of something only slighty revolting that won't embarass me at a later date!

DaphneMoon · 28/01/2009 14:05

My leg hair gets longer than DP's sometimes and my muff and arse get really overgrown. DP hates it when it gets like that and drops heavy hints about how awful it is when muff diving etc. Spent what seemed like hours last weekend getting rid of it. I'm surprised I don't block the system up for the whole street, there was loads of it. Looking pretty neat at the moment, but it won't be long before I have a beard running from fango to arse again!

DaphneMoon · 28/01/2009 14:06

I always feel a bit vulnerable down there when it's gone, or perhaps a bit draughty!!

differentID · 28/01/2009 14:24

I only shave my legs when planning to wear a skirt/ dress so very rarely!
I have been known to pick dried hard skin from my heels and once ended up picking of non dried skin. Ouch.
I lost my hairbrush once and had to go out on a day off from work, so I used a pet comb.
I fully admit to picking my nose.

I really, really hope this doesn't come back and bite me on the arse.

vezzie · 28/01/2009 14:25

Carrying little bottle of pee for MW appointment and then forgetting it and then finding you have a little bottle of pee in your bag in a restaurant or something.

happybeingme · 28/01/2009 14:30

PMSL at DM.

I can't get near my fanjo for love or money as I am 32 weeks pregnant and seriously thinking of going for a wax!

DaphneMoon · 28/01/2009 14:34

Perhaps you could get your DH/Dp to do it? My DP finishes it off for me, well you know tidys it up and gets the bits I've missed.

happybeingme · 28/01/2009 14:36

DM - Thanks for the suggestion but I'm not letting DH anywhere near my bits with a sharp object.

fryalot · 28/01/2009 14:40

another summer shaver here

Sometimes I see that the bath plug-hole is all bunged up with hair (mine, I am sure) but I leave it to fester until dp notices it and cleans it out

DaphneMoon · 28/01/2009 14:43

Know what you mean Happy, I do worry he is going to get my lips sometimes and always try to "tuck them in" out of harms way!

BitOfFun · 28/01/2009 14:46

I had to stop halfway through a pre-breakfast quickie because the duvet wafted eau-de-neitherofushadashoweryesterday right in my face. It was really rank and i just couldnt keep going. The sheets are on boil wash now for fresh pleasantness tonight...why do I always seem to be talking about sex when Squonk is around?
