    Why the hell is my skin so bad at the moment, its really starting to get me down. Its so dry when I get out of the shower Its bright red and stinging. I moisterise twice a day but it doesn't seem to help and yet I have such a spotty chin as well at the moment too :(

    Total over share here but the face on my skin gets So spotty just before my period really horrible full on lumpy yucky painful nasties and then two days into my period it just dries up completely and gets flakey, there is about 1 week per month when my skin is really nice and then the rest of time it is either spots or flakey right sodding irritating and drinks moisturiser.

    I am taking evening oil of primrose but keep forgetting might do that now actually.

    who was asking about spot the other day - I have some Q derm they can have?

    Hubby got me a lovely necklace from the kids and he's bought me a lovely pamper day for 2 which includes a full day of relaxation and a 30 minute pamper treatment each (I get an additional extra treatment of either an eyebrow shape or a manicure:T)

    He doesn't want to go, says it's too girly - he got it so I can go with a friend and have a girly day out!

    I have to fill out the registration card and they'll send me the actual voucher which allows me to choose the venue and book it!

    Nearest venues are York, Cumbria and Manchester!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Thing is I would be really happy with something cheap but with thought put into it. Something like a drawing B has done and put into a lovely frame. Or a suprise picnic somewhere, anything to be honest. I think men in general find it hard to have those sort of gifts given to them.

    Have you opened account first?
    Put vouchers in
    Then add items to basket?


    I had email today about it...I think they have cottoned on so they might have withdrawn the codes?

    Ah you will be fine...why don't you ask when you order it what size they recommend, they should be able to tell you.

    Sounds like you will have a lovely day
