Fat thighs rubbing together....any solutions?

[nocluemum]

I never weare dresses or skirts cos of the problem I have of my thighs rubbing together and realy hurting by the end of the day. My SIL is getting married and a friend of mine has made me the most gorgeious dress and I cannot wait to wear it but dont want to wear tights (my normal way out)- any ideas of what to do so I dont end up with chafing?

yey-ey-ey klippits and veg bags! and The Wire! And icing pens!!! Verily my Lakeland runneth over...

she grows coriander in the ground?!

WHY oh WHY does mine always fail?

you must must buy it with the roots on from my lovely nearest asian grocer. all the supermarket pots are designed to die. same with basil, they put 50 little plants in there so they all footer and die, rather than spending the time growing one big plant that might be harvested.
the veggie bags work with herbs, tallis, i'm way ahead of ya here.

i got some from a garden centre to try.

here's hoping this one works.

the others i got from this garden centre have all done well, as have the strawberries in hanging pots - they don't even need a windowsill .

oh, the veggie bags work for chopped veg, too, although i add in a kitchen towel or scrap of cloth dampened with some water.

Really expat? Do the veg suck up the water from the cloth then? Can't wait to try them, Aitch (thrums fingers impatiently)

i love those veggie bags... it's ridiculous.

lol at you thrumming, tallis.

i only use the damp cloth when i've cut up the veg, Tallis, and it does seem to work.

i really rate those bags.

do you have a bag hierarchy? i use mine for herbs and salad from new, then work my way through broccoli, peppers, carrots etc and finally tatties. i turn them inside out every changeover. [thrifty]

I have no idea how we got from fat thighs to coriander but I like it

anyway my neighbour from India grows festoons of it in her garden
it's like a big old bush

Ooooh. That means I can pre-slice all the veg for my Annabel Karmel purees and they won't go shrivelled and sad.

you wot?

So, just how how long can you eke out these veg bags? I mean, how many changes?? Ten? Twenty? Forty?

So, FandZ, it doesn't matter if you end up with great clouds of coriander then?

sob!

have a HUGE rosemary bush, have a thriving lavender bush, thyme, basil, curly parsley, mint.

no fucking coriander.

this thread is covering all my summer requisites: chaffing thigh solutions and rotting veg solutions. I love those veg bags but not sure how/whether to reuse.

Also, anyone got one of those lakeland banana bags for the fridge? I only get shopping once per week and bananas get too ripe unless in fridge but then they go black...

dunno, they've got some sort of japanese organic blah blah powder on them that wicks away moisture so there comes a point where you can feel the powder is gone. if you have a lot of wet stuff in there they'd last less well, i imagine. maybe 5 times and then they just feel like normal bags?

m&j it says on the instructions to seal (hence the klippits, T) the bags but i tend not to. what about you expat?

Are you talking about stayfresh bags?

And do they really work?

Sorry OP-no advice on thigh problem other than stand with your legs apart.

i use klippits on mine.

with veg like onions or carrots, you can get at least 5 uses out of them if you just chuck the veg in whole.

i find i get about 5 uses out of them for soft veg like courgettes and aubergine.

DILL. nobody can grow that.

they do indeed. only buy the large ones, the others are a pita.

i only buy the large one, too.

i bought the wee ones by mistake once and still have them.

can't figure out what to do with them yet.

root ginger, expat. that's it. i still have the first and last pack of the small ones i bought about, oh, five years ago.

snice they really work. Watercress which normally has a shelf life of 2 seconds lasts about a week with these things.

Agree about the small ones though. For keeping a couple of slices of cucumber?

I can't believe that my mother who is the queen of Lakeland has not discovered these yet unless she's just keeping them quiet
