I read an advert today about Botox. Rather than thinking it was something to bear in mind for the wrinkly future, I recalled the scene in a Christmas comedy film where Tim Allen is sticking a fork in his face after a skin-tightening botox session. Maybe someone has experienced the rejuvenating experience and you could share it with us? Does it hurt, assuming you don't poke yourself with a sharp instrument?

Momspit

There was a slinky black package in the post today from Minnesota. I had been expecting some samples from a company with a brilliant name, and I owned up to it being for me. Mrs Ed looked at the label and with a glint in her eye asked if it was a sex toy. Er, no, but if you wait, I'll go get one later.

I opened the box and lo and behold, there were 3 bottles of the latest greatest Momspit, a hand cleanser inspired by the original. I am not a Mom and I do not spit, as a rule, and I am not original. Furthermore, I have no kids with dirty faces, dirty knees or sticky fingers. However, I do fall into the category of other users who might find this product useful - ie any human who gets dirty or sticky from eating donuts and chocolate on the move, and needs a quick way to clean fingers and face, without resorting to spit or wet wipes, or the back of my hand.

But does this stuff work?

Road test 1

Fellow test pilot, Mrs Ed, was cooking, and I asked her to make my hand dirty. Instead of wiping a dirty mushroom on my palm, she wrote "Loser" in purple felt tip pen. Doubtful that Momspit was going to get rid of the mark, and I was going to be labeled Loser for life, I sprayed a tiny drop of MomSpit onto my skin, and rubbed it in vigorously. Voila, it disappeared!! My hand was dry and clean and feeling gooooood. So, yes, folks, it works.

The lemon scent doesn't smell that great if you stick your nose in it, but there is a scentless and a green tea version too, if citrus isn't your thing.

We will give the Momspit cleanser a thorough test later and let you know how we got on. Thanks to Kim and co for their samples. Most impressed.

Now I am off to Ann Summer's to get another black package to make Mrs Ed's eyes glint. Maybe she will have some mom spit of her own in 9 months time. Euuhhhh.
