I remember working with a girl once and I said something about hoovering my stairs, she said "hoovering stairs!?" as if it was something really odd to do. Obviously not something she did at all. This was also the girl who instructed her dumb as her husband to shell some petit pois!!! He said they were very fiddly! Sorry going off on a tangent here, back to the bodily horrors now please.

There was a whole thread about Madge's minge. There was a picture of her, legs akimbo, with a huge fluffy bush, taken circa 1979. She's Italian, that shit is hard to tame!

DaphneMoon · 28/01/2009 15:55

Didn't see that pic of Madge. I'm half Scot, believe me you've seen nothing. I even get hair round my nipples which I have to pluck out! Did this in secret for ages when first got together with DP. He knows now, I have to keep on top of them though otherwise my chest becomes more hairy than his.

DaphneMoon · 28/01/2009 15:56

Actually if I was to let it all grow I think I would actually turn into an ape!

I read the grotty man one, made me laugh so much I was crying. Anyone who has not read it go and look at it. Funniest thread I have read for a long time.

but you still need a bucket beside you for some of it!
I admit to:
picking my nose - sometimes a fingernail really is the only implement that will dislodge that dried bogie

not shaving my legs until absolutely necessary and never my upper legs (have very pale leg hairs)

Washing my hair a maximum of once a week or it goes mental - and not at all for the last 8 weeks of pg (it TRULY didn't need it!)

biting the skin around my fingernails and down the side of my thumbs (and eating the skin that I pick off the sides of my toenails too)

licking my own blood off cuts and eatng my own scabs - iron conservation!

I think that's enough grossness from me...

VinegarTits · 28/01/2009 16:03

Do people actually clean their windows? I have never done this

thumbwitch · 28/01/2009 16:05

oh yes, windows - I have lived in my house for 13 years and have cleaned all the windows twice in that time. I think. Just the insides - have had a man to clean the outsides twice, as well.

LightShinesInTheDarkness · 28/01/2009 16:06

I never shave anything. And sometimes I sniff my pants.

VinegarTits · 28/01/2009 16:09

I love squeezing my blackheads

DaphneMoon · 28/01/2009 16:10

Oh god yes I have to sniff my pants, don't know why and I always sniff the crutch of my jeans to see if I can get another day's wear out of them, it drives DP mad. I get skids on my pants too Scabs are yummy but can get stuck in your teeth a bit!

DorisIsAPinkDragon · 28/01/2009 16:10

I sometimes just can't be arsed to clean my teeth before i go to bed, and have occasionally not cleaned them in the morning either.... ( and eaten garlic the day before)

DorisIsAPinkDragon · 28/01/2009 16:12

DM -i don't bother with the sniff test if they're not standing up on their own then there's at least another days wear in them.

TheInvisibleManDidIt · 28/01/2009 16:13

I only wash my hair once a week too. Sometimes let it go longer than that! But it's almost waist lenght and very thick and it takes hours to dry.

I clean the skirting boards with my socks, while I'm wearing them as it's too mcuh hassel to crawl along the floor doing it properly.

TheInvisibleManDidIt · 28/01/2009 16:14

I also seem to have lost the ability to type and spell today!

Dropdeadfred · 28/01/2009 16:16

mamadiva you EAT what comes out of your nose?

NO!!!!!!!!!!! WHY???????????????

BitOfFun · 28/01/2009 16:16

I'm on day 5 in my new jeans (courtesy BALD's thread in style). I like them too much to stop wearing them. It hadn't occurred to me that this might be disgusting. I don't dare sniff them now...

cyteen · 28/01/2009 16:17

hooray, someone else who loves squeezing their blackheads!

DaphneMoon · 28/01/2009 16:20

Thinvisible, good cleaning tip, will try that one. Can't squeeze my blackheads, don't have any nails to do it with on account of me biting them!

mollyroger · 28/01/2009 16:20

I was once caught using a strand of my long hair as sort of tooth-picky dental floss.

DaphneMoon · 28/01/2009 16:22

I always know when DP wants some squelchy action because he brushes his teeth before bed, which means I then have to go and brush mine! I do always do them in the morning however.

Dropdeadfred · 28/01/2009 16:24

No....this is making me feel pukey!!

hifi · 28/01/2009 16:25

i have psoriasis on my head and LOVE picking it, really sad in summer when it dries up.

after staying at my mums, she had a chesterfield sofa, she called to call me a dirty cow as shed found all my scabs where the buttons were.
