  • A friend of mine (yes really) wears gloves all day in her job and complains bitterly that the minute she puts them on her nose runs or gets itchy.

    That's her Christmas present sorted then!!! image

    But yes, welshonion, I do. However when you get to the point when it won't stop running down your face and you're hyperventilating from sniffing too much, measures have to be taken further. I generally go for the kitchen towel option, as buttercup describes, though I don't always remember whether I used it on the trowel first. Mud is good for one's complexion, isn't it?

    Triple thickness pocket tissues with Balsam for me.  My nose runs nearly all year - some unidentified allergy - so I have them in pockets of pants and jackets and in the tool shed too.  No sleeves in warm weather!

    The point of the Snuffy Cuffy (thanks for that, plant pauper!) Is it allows you to wipe away a dewdrop without having to stop work, down tools remove gloves and rummage for your handkerchief, tissue or kitchen towel.  And spend the next couple of minutes hunting for the secateurs you just put down.

    What's more, I invented it without introducing myself as a product developer and asking you all to complete a survey.

    I just end up with muddy tissues Jo.  When they get too bad they go in the nearest compost bin.

    Your snuffy cuffies are clever but I prefer the throw away rather than washable kind.

     Why not take up the challenge yourself and develop a disposable version? Just so long as it's 100% biodegradable!

    Too busy making curtains and Xmas decs and patchwork homework.   The tissues are biodegradable anyway.
