Giggles_fairy Sorry to hear your eczema has got worse, I had it head to toe as a baby/child used to be bandaged up every night, its such a horrible thing to have. I first got it on my face a few years ago and find it very hard to manage, there is not a lot the docs can do to be honest, you are not supposed to use the steroid creams on your face but they told me I can use it very sparingly only when it flares up, unfortunately that is every day for me.
These days I have it worst on my face/scalp and hands/arms which is quite annoying really I would rather have it somewhere I can cover up!
Please let me know if you ever find a miracle cure!
I have the asthma and hayfever as well, all 3 come hand and hand apparently

Cakes went well again yesterday I did some lovely pink icing as well this time.

Headache again today so off to bed now, night all x

P.S Just wanted to mention OH received a cheque for 3k for one of his outstanding jobs today although that doesn't solve everything maybe things are going to work out now.

so glad someone has paid some of what they owe. Fingers crossed others do too soon!

I agree with the bit about the face, my ezcema never bothered me when it was somewhere I could cover up! Got to the point where I couldnt even look people in the eye and was avoiding going to uni. Climax was when I was about to set off to work and looked in the mirror, my whole face except a 50p size spot on each cheek was covered in painful, bright red ezcema and i just rang my manager in tears. Luckily the doctor I saw that day was brilliant, turns out I had a fungal infection in the ezcema then after that had gone she referred me. The dermatologist has given me cream to use instead of steriods called elidel which is specifically designed for use for ezcema on the face (maybe ask if u can have it?) then I was signed off. Unfortuantly I then developed periola dermatitis (sp?) with some ezcema around my mouth which has been caused by using steriods on my face I have used them on my face for years (despite one doctor telling me my eye would explode!), I was told the same, use it sparingly and only a weaker strength and it ok. I have been on antibiotics for 5 months so far and not really any change but aparently it can take up to a year for the periola to go, although I do feel that cutting out the milk is preventing big flare up of that so fingers crossed

Think Im a weird one cause I did a study of a new ezcema cream (Im hoping for that miracle cure too haha) and my ezcema went 20 times worse using it! The women said everyone elses had lessened! haha story of my life!

If your ever feel you need an ezcema rant just PM me . I think its hard for some people to understand how it can make you feel when they have their perfect flawless skin haha

Managed to complete a VO and a TL survey tonight woohoo! If i can do 10,000 points in TL surveys every week I will get a redeem every 2 months which is great for me

On a side note....

298 sleeps to christmas haha

Kec09 - good to hear OH got some money back at last xx

Didnt get much done yesterday with doou being down all day. I had good intentions as well as OH was upstairs asleep all day. Could have done some in word but decided to have the day off instead.

Thank you for all your kind messages. Sorry I have been absent for a day or two I just didn’t feel like money making after all that went on with my sister. She had a scan yesterday to make sure everything had been removed. She is at home with her husband having some quiet time. I have spoken to her a fair few times!

As for last month’s targets I have kind of lost the flow now. I know on loonie I got to a redeem just got to wait for the voucher now!! I’m back up to 28,000 much to my shock. I didn’t quite manage the challenge on DY I am not too far off with only another 860 points to get. Made another £40 on eBay much to my amazement.

On with this month’s challenge. I will be having a look at the petrol station thing especially when I make the trip to my sisters for a week at the end of March. I usually fill up when I drive into town once a week to do my shopping. I fill up at Morrison’s who have good prices.

Will have a look at product testing sites it sounds fun.

The amount of sleeps to Christmas made me laugh, first laugh I have had this week thanks.

Good luck everyone for this month.

:wave::wave: Hello every one. I have not posted for a while but have been on reading some posts.
I have not looked at my totals yet, I am struggling to keep going with the surveys etc.
The two site i like tuluna and survey network keep playing up and saying error on page so I cant get on any surveys.
I am not really getting any others sent from any other sites either
I have not done any ebay this mont and really can not get into dooyoo.
The insurance people still have not sent any one out since we had the washing machne leak and its almost two weeks now :mad:
I will total up and that may give me some insparation to carry on.
Is there a new list for the toluna site? I have not added any new people for a while so must be missing a few of you.

Hi there I've been lurking occasionally but not really posted much. I just wanted you to know I got an email from Nectar this morning saying if you use their search engine on the internet you get Nectar points for each one. Here's the link You just download their toolbar and link up your card number.

Afternoon ladies. Just another couple of product testing websites that I do:

Tesco Home Panels : can sign up if you've got a clubcard and they send you products to test depending on what you buy from there. I've had kitchen towels, fabric softener, ball of foot pads, tea and toilet cleaning wipes from them. To sign up you need to send them an email home.panels@uk.tesco.com.

Clix : Mainly beauty products. I've been with them for about 18 months and have had a Boots green mascara to test (green mascara to go with green eyes apparently). https://www.clixresearch.com

Glamour magazine tester: Had quite a bit of high street makeup to test from them, full size not just tester size http://www.condenast.co.uk/MediaResearch/glamourpanel2/

Hope that helps someone!

PS, remember that you read that magazine every month

Just thought I'd pop in to say hi

I can sympathise with those of you with eczema, asthma and hayfever, I have all 3 too. I think I'm the only person on the planet who reacts to e45, I can't use it at all. Mine is mainly on my hands and arms too

No money making for the last couple of days but am determined to sign up for one of the bingo sites someone mentioned a while ago.

Hope you're all enjoying the sunshine x

I don't use E45 either, I don't rate it at all as a moisturiser and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I have a prescribed one called Doublebase and it's fab
