The sun is out, it's warm and I've got the back door open and am NOT wearing jumper. Get me, I'm such a rebel.

One outstanding job of mine has been to Nikwax my leather boots as last time it rained I got wet feet. I read the instructions on the tin and it said it was best to use fingers as the warmth would naturally soften the wax and ease application. I quite enjoyed it but it was a bit wiffy so they're now sitting outside in th sun. It was all going so well until I went to wash my hands...granted they're remarkably soft but they also smell of wax and I can't rid myself of it...ergh! I suppose that's the problem though with waterproof wax - why did I not wear gloves?!

hmmmmm.... methinks you won't do that again in a hurry. The bonus is of course, dry feet!

[emandedmum]

Yay! Yak, they still stink

have you got some lemon fresh or one of those squeezy ones. rub some in your hands and then air dry. Might help

Ta Tricia! I did a bit of hand washing which has helped to ease the smell but they're still slippery and shiny! Off to bath the kids now so hoping that giving 'em a good scrub will help, else we'll all smell the same so no one will notice

Hi Jo, hang onto the kids then with those slippery hands!! lol

The things we do that seem a great idea at the time.
