# 29 – Have a fish pedicure


So on Easter Monday I was strolling through the streets of Exeter – enjoying a rare day off with the husband when I saw a fish spa. I was going to walk past but then thought I ought to at least check the price. Before we’d even crossed the road the owner stepped outside and persuaded us to at least take a look inside. I was pleased we did. The treatment began with a foot inspection (sounds horrible but it was very reassuring that they don’t let anyone in the tanks with infested feet!). Next was a five minute regular foot spa, to make sure my feet were nice and clean for the fish to nibble on.  I was given the middle aged fish (this also means middle size). As the spa was pretty empty I had one foot per tank, rather than the usual two feet in one tank. I couldn’t quite bring myself to put my feet into the fish so had to ask the owner to force my feet in!  She promised me it would only tickle for two minutes and she was right. The remainder of the fifteen minutes felt a little like pins and needles but without the pain. Finally I was given a 5 minute foot massage with a choice of creams. My feet were left super, super smooth! Overall for a 25 minute treatment I thought it was £15 well spent but it was not relaxing enough that I would do it regularly.  Anyway to whoever suggested this experience my feet and I THANK YOU!
