Join the hairy armpit brigade!

No way I say does anyone smell like Christmas cake in the morning or am I strange

One of the dubious benefits I have found of advancing years is the reduction in body hair - everywhere. I occasionally remember about my legs, but armpits? with my bingo wings, sleeveless is not really an option. So, all you young things - look forward to your sixties!

Glass you are soooo strange!

Not me jingle the article

I've never been particularly hairy, nor have I ever shaved my legs (very fair hair anyway!). I do shave my armpits, though.

How does she know what she smells like in the morning, anyway? Perhaps she means a very mature, alcohol-laced Chrismas cake?

The christmas cake reference is not so strange, really. Does nobody else remember sniffing their knees as a child in the bath and thinking that they smelled like biscuits?

What! No-one else? Maybe I am strange, after all.

I do remember sniffing my knees in the bath, yes. Don't think biscuits came to mind...Perhaps she just smells fruity?

Bags My knees, when I eventually get down to sniffing them, will be a subtle aroma of Dove soap and Nivea. I used to think my Nana smelled like Ovaltine. My Grandpa, on the other hand, smelled of horse manure [that's because he was a groom of Co-op horses that delivered milk...]
And, no! My armpits have a wee downy fluff that does no-one any harm...so it stays put

Oh!!!!!

Sorry Glass!!! (hadn't read article)

I have always thought that my hands smell of biscuits in the morning! Why not try it tomorrow and see how many of us agree?

Eurghhhhh!

Mind doesn't grow anymore.

Thank God it does on my head! [worried]

What sort of biscuits?

And no Bags I didn't smell my knees as a child?? [very strange] emoticon...and of course now couldn't ...even if I wanted to

Not strange at all Jacey! [huffy emoticon]

My FIL uses drops for his glaucoma and he has grown the most fantastic eyelashes.

Sorry off subject a bit

No I have never sniffed my knees will try when I have a bath.

Anagram

When I was a child my knees mainly smelled of mud. Gardening in the sunshine today, so if I could reach them they would probably still smell of mud!

I seem to smell of chocolate in the morning, don't know why! And no, I have stopped shaving my armpits because the hair does not seem to grow there any more

Yes Bags I did used to sniff my knees in the bath and think they smelled of biscuits or cake or something yummy!! I thought it was only me! How strange and how good to meet a fellow weirdo

And me, of course...[another huffy emoticon]

Sorry anagram did I forget you were a weirdo too! It's because I'm sneaking a peek at gransnet on my iPhone which I can't get to grips with so can't see everything properly. Its wasted on me! I really should be working so better get back to it

I know you've probably gone now, nightowl, but no, you didn't forget I was a weirdo too, you just didn't notice I used to sniff my knees in the bath!

Bags and I don't consider that to have been weird at all...

So stop all showing off that you can get your nose down to your knees already.

This was when we where children, gracesmum. Haven't tried it in years...

Well, I just tried it again, not in the bath, just rolled my trousers up, and although I'm not as biscuity as I seem to remember, I'm still a bisky bat Bags. Hey, fellow Bisky Bats, greetings!
