As said before Beenie Maybeline

Currently using a tinted moisturiser from Boots Natural collection
Very cheap and all the range is on £3 for 5.

Also use Boots No. 7 or Avon.

Alternate between Foundation and tinted moisturiser depending on how crap I think I look and how much help I need. :rotfl::rotfl:

Is tinted moisturiser good for evening out skin tone?

I've had a great day

I have a job! Well not a permo job, it's like as and when you are needed? It's at the exhibition center near my house, they will train me up on the bar and they email you when people are needed for certain shifts, so I can pick and choose the ones I can do. £6.50 an hour so not too bad

Also, I'm getting a 3 and 2 seater sofa free from gumtree She sent me the pics and its lovely, cream leather sofa! My Grandad is hopefully going to be able to get a van tomorrow to pick it up for me. My house is a state but this will improve it!

Happy happy.

Also! Keira just tucked into a big bowl of spicy tangletelle and the other day she ate a hamburger and LIKED IT. So I can start making her quorn burgers etc, and she will know no difference.

I can agree with you on that especially Henry (actually both mine are born on Sundays!!!!), he's saying about the reduction in care and the dangers that occur.

Alice was born on a Tuesday morning. Presumably the midwife was busy as she wandered off for a couple of hours in the second stage. Then she panicked that I hadn't progressed when she came back (presumably because she knew she shouldn't have left me for so long) and ran for a million doctors (well three plus another midwife but still excessive) and one of them gave my an episiotomy without my consent. I sincerely hope the care isn't worse at weekends!

There did used to be a reduction in care at weekends though. My mum said that one time she had a miscarriage on a Saturday and had to stay in hospital until the Wednesday waiting for a scan to check everything had gone because the people who did the scans weren't in on weekends and it was a bank holiday weekend and the people who did the scans got Tuesdays when it was a bank holiday too.

Umm errr. Think so, not that I have much colour, just a lighter shade of pale all over. Tinted Moisturiser is less "masking" and looks more natural. Good for summer months.

Yay for new couch and for Keiras eating :T.

I think you're dead right to be angry - it's infuriating to me that mental healthcare is almost universally crap during the night and over holidays when these are peak times for people to be in the most need of help. And it reflects the wider attitude towards mental health - it's just not taken as seriously in many ways and in many NHS budgets because the people who genuinely are in direct danger can be put out of harm's way till the morning. But that's still up to 14 hours where the duty psychiatrist might feel out of his or her depth with a crisis patient, which puts excessive strain on her/him, and where the patient is just locked up with someone who's probably showing signs of discomfort and therefore even more convinced that they're losing the plot and should just be left to get on with things :mad:

My theory is that it's because people judge behaviour of people with mental health problems on the basis of rational thinking. This means that they ascribe different motivations/reasoning to their behaviour to the true ones because the behaviour is not based on rational thinking but on irrational thinking (or on rational thinking based on an irrational premise). Also lots people still don't believe that chemical/hormone imbalances can be the cause so while it's acceptable for a diabetic to be diabetic and even to have a hypo, bipolar disorder often seems to be considered and "excuse".

ETA: When I say "judge" I don't mean being judgemental, I just mean judging in the sense that way we respond to and feel about other's behaviour is based on our judgement of their intentions/motives/reasoning.

Not read back, but due to the time that I had my abruption (5.10pm), there was only 1 anaesthetist on duty who was busy elsewhere which meant a delay of more than an hour for me to get a C section because they had to wait on an on-call anaesthetist (they actually called 2 and it was the first one to arrive who put me to sleep, he had been out for a meal with his wife.). Had I bled 30mins earlier, there would have been 3 available in the hospital. There were also no rooms available due to electives being finished off and only 1 team to clean and prep the rooms afterwards.

That's shocking. I know they can't have loads of people poised on site all the time in case there are multiple emergencies but to have no rooms available for emergencies due to electives is appalling and poor planning on their part.

Those of you with childminders - it might be worth pointing them in the direction of this website:

Nursery Milk

If they register under this scheme they can claim the cost of 1/3 pint of milk per day for every child under 5 that they look after for more than 2 hours per day.

Every little helps as they say.

There is another scheme which delivers milk to the CMs house - the details are:

Milk for Free

Susan that must have been dreadful for your mum.

I guess I was seen pretty quickly when I got into hospital with Alfie at midnight on a Sunday night, although it seemed ages at the time. I did however wait possibly an hour for an ambulance as they said it wasn't an emergency. As soon as I got out of that pool it was an emergency! I was ok til I got out. Oh well, hopefully next time we will not need to be in the hospital apart from for the scans.

Swimming was fab this morning! Alfie really liked it even though I was worried he'd be cold (I was cold). Tired him out afterwards though. I'm just on with this cake still. I have a feeling it's going to take me all day!
