I was worried about work but I work tues and thurs and did it yesterday as it takes a few days and I'm hoping it'll be more or less done by next Tuesday.

And I was pondering the chemicals / how it works thing and remembered that the leaflet for the soap and glory foot file suggests rubbing lemon juice on your feet for the same reason: loosen the stuff holding dead skin on. I'm tempted to try freezer bags and lemon juice!

I think the active ingredient is lactic acid. Day 3 (not including day I did it) here and still not much going on. Will be very upset if it doesn't work for me. Soak last night has not made much difference.

Mine are on! So excited!

Partner still thinks I'm disgusting. He was asking how it works - seemed to think I'd need to walk around in the socks so that they could scrub my feet! Grin

One day in and nothing here of course. A little soaking tonight. They feel kind of dry but soft, so definitely something going on. Are we posting photos ok here when it starts? ;)

Troy No worries. Smile I'm sorry it went like that too. I realised afterwards but by then it had taken on a life of its own. No hard feelings.
