Deodorant alternatives

[Pete C]

I do too, but there are limits, I doubt you wear 2 jumpers and have the place heated to 15C or less in winter.

Sorry, mattress, that sort of thing.

Fair enough, I was just trying to explain there are other things that affect health apart from food and drink.

Bit difficult for me but if the local butcher or guy at the market are richer than me I don't begrudge them for it. I don't like to feed the corporations though - except where it's necessary.

Though the guy who owns the caff where I sometimes have a fry up drives a Merc :) But I don't mind that either.

cheers, Pete.

I went into either a Lidl or an Aldi once. I won't be repeating the experience - even worse than Morrisons. As far as I know, there are none of these firm's stores within reasonable driving distance. A good thing.

Generally I prefer to use the smaller specialist shops but for other things use one or other of the major supermarkets.

Ours is set to 10C all year round.

You buy a mattress only once. Well, we have, in 40 years.

Did I talk about food and drink in relation to health? To us they're enjoyment, and are more important than any others.

We very, very rarely eat out.

Maxi!! When in the far east with your white suit and bike clips on you must sweat and be smelly and put off the luscious lovelies.

[Peter Twydell]

You could well be right. I know it was Griff and Mel, but forgot about Not the Nine O'clock News. I can only plead brain overload (recalcitrant PC, misbehaving macerator, inability to find the shoes I need, house move going slowly, general decrepitude, etc.).

[Pete C]

Wow, if you have no other heating it might be worth getting a wood stove, wood can usually be had for free.

Sorry, you said it was what makes you so I assumed the health aspect was important to you.

Likewise, a lot of resteraunt food isn't up to much. But a fry up is only about 4 quid and saves assembling the eggs, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, chips, toast and coffee at home...

cheers, Pete.

£4 for ONE???

Our hens lay our eggs, I cure our own bacon, grow tomatoes and potatoes, make the bread ...

It's reaching the age of wisdom.

You're now wise enough to admit that you're not perfect ...

Daniele, Have you tried showering before work? I know from experience, attempting to "wash" your pits in the sink with soap & flannel is next to useless, and actually takes longer than having a full sower, what with the water running down your elbow onto the floor etc.

I believe if you do the shower thing before work every day, you'll not need deodorant, though you'll find it might help later into the afternoon/evening.

If you don't want to go to bed feeling a little smelly, the only thing to do is have 2 x showers a day. A shower can be over and done in less than 5 minutes, so it's no harder than brushing your teeth!

Oh, an NEVER EVER wear the same blouse/shirt/top for more than 12 hours without bunging it in the washing machine... unlike some stinky B'stds that wear their clothes 2 or 3 days running yet still believe it's a genetic rather than a personal cleanliness problem.

HTH Pete

Nice! But my garden is waaay too small for that, and too shady to grow stuff.

4 quid isn't too bad for SW London, it also pays for the caff and the staff etc. Better than McD's anyway, they bring it to your table on plate and it's hot and freshly cooked, and the staff seem to be happier.

cheers, Pete.

I wouldn't know - that is not something I've ever attempted in my life. When I say washing, I mean in a shower.

If it doesn't get started, I find I don't need a deodorant at all for an entire day or more. Today I cycled to work, cycled home (failing to improve on my personal best top speed), spent two hours at Aikido wearing a heavy suit which now feels as though someone had a bath in it, and there's not the faintest whiff about me. I think I might be luckier than other people in that respect, but if I use a deodorant I pay for it later.

I often wear the same shirt two days running (not today's though), lacking either a servant or a wife. It doesn't seem to be a problem in itself.

I think he's intrigued in that most people sit down for extended periods. Reading, ... I belive you've mentioned that you don't own a TV, so that's out. Either standing or lying down only is unusual.

[Andy Hall]

You keep pigs? or what is the starting point of your home cure bacon, Mary? .andy

You are all wrong. The last thing anyone economises on is their funeral.

Oh. Well, our mealtimes are pretty extended as a rule :-)

Ah - yes - I forgot about the other times we sit. In the Reading Room.

Yes.

We work standing up and sleep lying down. Except when he's spinning with a wheel, he sits for that but stands for drop spinning of course. Come to think of it, he usually sits when making skeps. and I sit when sowing and planting if I can.

[Mary Fisher]

But wouldn't it be cheaper to buy your own things and cook them yourself?

This is a DIY ng after all ... :-)
