and then I was given a voucher for a deluxe pedicure for my birthday, so I'm going tonight and really looking forward to it. I hate hate hate my feet so hope that afterwards I'll like them a little

I hate my feet too
but I dont think I could manage a pedicure
I dont like people touching my feet

Sounds much nicer than a ped egg though

hope you like your new feet after

flier · 02/07/2009 09:55

Thanks. I hope so too
I wouldn't have gone out of my way to have gone for one but as I've been given a voucher it is somehow different

One side effect of the Ped Egg is that my feet are so soft they can no longer grip my flip flops - so I now have the beginnings of toned legs

VinegarTits · 02/07/2009 10:01

Ped egg? is it some revoutionary foot softening thing?

shhhh · 02/07/2009 10:03

its a foot file basically vt, and a good one at that

flier · 02/07/2009 10:06

bodengroupie
so you basically don't have to but fit flops
at forty odd quid - just a ped egg
think I'll buy a ped egg anyway then.

but it is foul when you dont know what it is and your at your mils and you pick it up, it opens and pours your mils foot dust all over you

eugh
how much is it?

Guadalupe · 02/07/2009 10:12

I tried to get it in Boots yesterday and they didn't know what I was talking about.

It sounds rank when you try and describe it, cathing all the dead skin! I still want one, though a mum at school yesterday said people file too much and don't moisterise enough. Apparently overfiling can compound the problem and create more hard skin. She is a chiropodist.

jumpingbeans · 02/07/2009 10:12

lol @ trintyrhino, serves you right, you should had have left it alone, you opened it did'nt you, they don't just open when you pick them up

Lizzylou · 02/07/2009 10:17

You can get Ped eggs on ebay for about £3 delivered, my hooves are nice and smooth now (I do moisturise them a lot afterwards though)

flier · 02/07/2009 10:18

there may be different versions but this one is a tenner from boots

OP posts:
TrinityRhino · 02/07/2009 10:20

well I think maybe it wasn't shut properly

I reckon dd1 set me up

SoupDragon · 02/07/2009 10:23

Don't spend a tenner, buy from here. It may well be a fake but it is good quality and works brilliantly.

Lizzylou · 02/07/2009 10:25

Mine is exactly the same as my friend's £10 one,

Here

VinegarTits · 02/07/2009 10:25

save your money, just use a cheese grater

Lizzylou · 02/07/2009 10:26

Lol, must get quicker!

OrmIrian · 02/07/2009 10:26

LOL at 'this is not a toy' on the Boots site Why would anyone even think that it is. Surely it's not that much fun.

Disenchanted3 · 02/07/2009 10:26

Mine are rough,

Ive got a pedegg, but even that doesn't seem to help my trotters

shhhh · 02/07/2009 13:07

you must be like dh disenchanted...dh makes his blunt

LovelyRitaMeterMaid · 02/07/2009 13:11

Ooh - I just got some money into my paypal account from an online survey. Will get potentially fake ped egg

LovelyRitaMeterMaid · 02/07/2009 13:13

Have purchased. That seller has a lot of ped eggs to sell.

Disenchanted3 · 02/07/2009 13:15

I think its cause I never wear shoes, unless going shopping etc, I walk around outside all over without them on.

Feet like a cavewoman!!

amazonianadventure · 02/07/2009 13:18

B and M home bargains sell a small one for 75 p worth buying to try out possibly.

I also seen some being sold in a local £ shop they looked like the real thing,I bought one for my sister but it cost me £10 from boots
