Allotments 4 All

This works a treat for cleaning your hands after gardening! My mate told me about it last week and it really works .. better than the 'dreaded' scrubbing brush  ::)

Just wet hand and rub sugar into palms, rinse off etc.

It doesn't quite work for under fingernails though. I'm thinking of having mine surgically removed to save embarassment at the Co-Op checkout  ;D

It true you can usually spot the lottie holder from the ground in dirt  ;D

OKRA:  ;D

My mate the other day said "Oh! You've dyed your hair - you're blonde again!"

In fact, I'd just had a bath and washed it  ;D

Try using salt and half a lemon all squidged together, you can add a bit of cooking oil and that also helps!  mmmmm.... sweet and sour but very clean hands and nails, try it and see!

Have been using sugar method for years but I also put a little olive oil in the palm of my hands first. Nice silky hands :)

I got used to using those latex gloves from the £1 shop....perfectly manicured nails every time 8)

I use soap powder for washing my hands after allotment the courseness off the powder cleans lovely and leaves hands really soft.

I think mud under the fingernails is a badge of honour - also what would I do during long boring meetings if I didn't have it to clean out?   ;D

people say to me 'looks like you've been digging potatoes' & I say 'yep & they were delicious'.

I find washing up is the only way to get my nails clean- unfortunately!

For a luxurious treat, The Sanctuary from boots do a really nice Sugar Hand Scrub... 8)

I heard the best way to clean hands after gardening was to make shortbread or pastry.   They come up a treat!!!!    ::) ::) ::)

Tip for under nails ...
I was told to scrape a bar of soap under my nails BEFORE gardening and when you have finished they should clean easily ....

Cause you have to do when they are clean ...and remember ...i always forget

butter and sugar - leaves your hands luxuriously soft... as does a very expensive Crabtree and Evelyn product!

Carol - I bet your pastry makes the perfect Mississippi Mud pies  ???

Oh! You sweeties really turn me on when your hands get 'a little dirty'.
Oh did I say that? I'm so sorry. Must fly!!
