    Thanks Pooky,

    I do have some aqueous cream that I purchased 2yrs ago when DH was in hospital. It is still on the bathroom windowsill. I don't know if we ever opened it :o I could look at it later?

    I was using just warm water twice a day alongside the antibiotic cream which was fairly good but I was finding the blackheads around my nose and cheeks were not getting clean enough so it felt like I needed something more than just water.

    I think its like a lot of things, some people are lucky and dont have to use anything on their skin and it looks amazing.

    Some people eat what they want and never put on weight (ie. ~DH, grrrrrrrr) I on the other hand have to be careful with my skin and watch what I eat!

    Oh well, could be worse eh?

    Morning. Gorgeous day outside. Pity I'm stuck in an office processing numbers:cool:

    Nathan is on the mend, I am still suffering the sore throat lurgy he kindly passed on.

    Went shopping at the weekend and got some new stuff for work. I think I've lost weight in the last 10 days. No doubt a combination of stress/upset and lots of walking...

    totally agree Bunny.

    Sorry to everyone else who now knows more about my skin than they could ever want too.

    I am eating peanut butter and banana on toast - peanut butter seemed really pricey when I got some more, but the jar will last about a year. I went for the one which said no added sugar and was all "healthy" so DH could have some. Cost me £2-odd :eek:

    thanks guys - unfortunately the pay rise will be slow and there will be no decision tomorrow - I just need her to agree to re-write the job description - the process of rebanding will take months!!!! so will probably be debt free by the time it gets sorted - there is also the possibility of it not being banded to a higher band and there is all the internal politics to get through! won't be holding my breath! Have done a provisional budget based on the new salary and it looks lovely!!!!! I know i shouldn't get my hope up!

    I had peanut butter for breakfast today as well-on toast with honey...yummy yummy. I bought Mr T's own, not so healthy! lol

    My kids are very happily playing with lego. I think it is the greatest invention...
