Thanks Buffy. Soon going to have to get used to the life of a singleton which does not fill me with happy thoughts.

Love those dodgy hugs tho.

Guys if you are feeling unhappy - can you find one bit you really like and focus on that for now...my skin is awful at the moment - proper teenage bad but I'm not going to let it get at me because life's too short to be worrying about stuff

So I am focusing on the fact my hairs is looking great

Hi Suzy, nice to see you back. :wave: Sorry to hear about the singledom, maybe we should start a club.

Buffy, when you're generally a bit down, you judge your own appearance a lot more harshly. I find when things are going well, I feel almost okay about how I look, but when I'm stressed, upset, under the weather, hormonal, etc, I really hate what I see in the mirror with a passion and wonder how anyone could ever bear to look at me.

Little things work for me - making an effort with hair, make-up etc, buying something new to wear (when budget allows), the aforementioned nice/sexy/pretty lingerie. I think it's because if you take control of one aspect of your life, the rest starts to follow, or at least you cope better with the bits that don't follow.

You are right, once I start on my holiday tasks tomorrow it will take my mind off how I look. I said out loud today for the first time that I don't think I will ever settle down and get married/have a serious relationship and I could see the pity in my married friends eyes and I just really wanted "a someone " and I hardly ever do that.

going to put together a small set of drawers and a stool. xxxxxx

Hugs Beanie...I felt exactly like that a couple of weeks ago but I feel more in control and am starting to do things for myself that make me happy (given myself a nice french manicure )

Whats brought on your break out Becky? Have you always suffered or have you changed soap, shower gel to irritate skin?

My elder sister still suffers with acne...I feel sorry for her when its bad.
