I've got a social ocassion coming up in a few motnhs when my hands
really should not scream "Gardener!!!!!!"

Does anyone have any ideas for hand care/rejuvination? I do wear
gloves but the hands still get ingrained dirt and look foul.


A long time ago I spent some time in Antarctica where we had to take turns
at cooking. The Diesel Mechanic (whose hands were ingrained with oil) used
to say that the only time he had clean hands was after making pastry!

An old boyfriend of mine used to make breadpudding - he reckoned it worked
better than Swarfega !
