> Unless you have understanding parents getting muddy in decent clothes can be a problem when living at home at 17. Not everyone has parents like mine and Jamie's.

> It helps if you already do your own laundry (they don't question why you have used the washing machine) and it also helps if they are maybe used to seeing you get wet in your clothes or are not phased if you come home in partially wet clothes after being out with some mates. Parents expect teenagers to muck around when out and about and will easily believe it if you fool around (jumping in puddles, pushing each other into ponds etc. etc.) with mates and end up wet. It is a short step from that to getting muddy. Having a kick around in the park with mates can easily get you muddy: do it a few times and, so long as you don't land your mum with a load of extra work - doing the laundry, see above - she will probably be happy to let you get on with it.

> It sounds like you already get wet in your clothes, so you are halfway there, just build on that slowly. Who knows your parents may have had similar fun getting wet or muddy as teenagers (your dad in particular, it seems to be more of a man thing) and won't be in the least surprised.

> It is unlikely that mud alone will ruin any clothes beyond what a good wash or two with a biological detergent won't put right; we find that getting the mud off with a good hosing down before taking them off is the best method, never put totally muddy clothes straight into the washing machine, it will clog up the filters and the like.

> Good luck with it, let us know how you get on.
