I'm fed up of being filthy!

For what feels like months I have been getting home with soil through  my hair, grit and sweat in a paste all up my forearms, bashes and scrapes on my shins and grass clippings all over my trousers and in my shoes/socks and I am getting a little fed up! Every shower is a major scrubbing session, I can't even come in the house without taking off my clothes at the door for fear of dragging mud onto our cream hall carpet.

 

To top it off I am losing weight bit by bit no matter how much I eat. Started the season at 11st8 and have now crept down to 11st2. I can't keep he weight up no matter what.

 

Is there a way of doing this job without as much manual sweat muck and injury?

Exactly. Dirt beneath your fingernails is one thing but cat poo is different matter.

Semingly I must be the only one who hates the dirt under the finger nails and engrained in the skin of my hands!!! I couldnt care about the rest of me but can't  be doing with muddy hands.

 

I ALWAYS wear gloves, nice to be able to stop for lunch  or a pee peel off the gloves to leave clean hands and not have to wash hands before.
