If I don't wax I can't clean off all the colour and you get a "toasty" effect...which can be nice where you want it!!gzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034777779347889773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4870567611655050982.post-75120194207374440202011-07-24T11:48:51.412+01:002011-07-24T11:48:51.412+01:00Sounds like a very busy day to me.

Hope your less tired today. <br /><br />Please forgive a silly question but why do you wax the pot feet and bottoms?<br /><br />Thanks for popping over to my blog.
