She sat next to me and after a few minutes I had to make her take them off and put them in the cupboard. She thought it was hilarious and everyone agreed that they smelled when they took them and sniffed (again the boot, not the inside of it) but nobody could smell it from just being sat near her (even my sister with her pregnancy nose). Went to get my coat from the same cupboard a half an hour later and the smell hit me in the face the second I opened the door. It's disgusting, like melted plastic or burnt rubber. 

Hoping this is my month!
