completely off topic....not that we care! But has anyone here got recommendation for 18yr DS who suffers with acne, not to bad these days no major breakouts (OMG sorry if anyone eating!) but I was thinking of getting him a facial treatment at a salon, not sure what to look for but would be great if anyone here has experience.

He has done all the creams and the antibiotics from GP but would be nice to try improve his complection now the acne has stopped being so bad. He uses bio oil regularly and sticks with a face wash found through trial and error.

any help from you loverrrrly elites please??

Not really what you are looking calmspirit for but I have read a lot recently about eliminating wheat from your diet having a lot of health benefits including significant improvements in acne.

Just a thought...

A guy I *cough* knew *cough* swore by the sun beds but I always thought they made the problem worse. His face always did look better after a couple of sessions. He tried to go for a couple of minutes of everyday but if he missed a couple of days they came back worse.

over the last couple of days I have spotted the cream jacket and a purple scarf from last years £1 sale. Now I know that both of these items, after going down to 4p (which was when I bought them), were eventually taken off file.But would you beleive it, they are both now scanning at £1:eek:
This brings me to 2 conclusions.
1. That all the items that were taken off file last year, should now be scanning at £1
2. That means that all the items that are currently in the £1 sale, should at some point go down to 4p
Now I could be completely wrong with this, but I think it is only a matter of time till we start the great 4p clothing hunt again :j

:T:T Under starters orders here

Must have been where I saw them last week then, shelf was full of buttons tubes at the bottom one side and think the promises were above.

Tried FB and TP today and none I could see but did you see I found the Finest Desert Chocs for 1p that's everyones Easter sorted not quite as good as free Easter eggs like last year but 1p is not far off.

Thanks for the offer of some of your stash but I still have a stash of dead heads I'm getting through noone else seems to like them, put off by the red middle. I have been limiting myself to 3 heads a day as supposed to be dieting. Diet gone out of the window tonight as opend a box of the chocs to try and ate half a box to myself as they are so delicious. :eek:

Nikki didn't you get these Finest chocs earlier this year for a good price vaguely remember you mentioning it.

Have you checked the date on the dessert chocs, if your thinking of giving them for easter? I have some that I got on DTD before xmas and bb date is end of March.

Thanks to the OP for the £5 ebay link. Odd thing was I bought something just under £5, it seemed to take the voucher off at checkout, but had problems logging onto paypal, (even though nothing needs paying, it still directs you) checked my summary and its not been paid

Tried from OH account for something else and it did work so its not like they had ran out of vouchers on my first go!

Went back to pay for original item, but now when it transfers me to paypal it says code has reached its limit Not sure if this means Ive tried to use it twice and its traced my IP, or if the 50,000 has been reached!

Anyone still having any luck with this?

Iv just ordered a Lego toy for an easter pressie off e bay an d it knocked a fiver off my balance to pay when I entered the code Thanks Op

Why is it.. when you have a really good day, someone just has to ruin it....:(:mad:

The girl I fell out with (the one I used to go to playgroup with) text me.

Basically we fell out as my DS is 9 months older than hers, my DS was going through a phase of saying "go away" picked up probably from our house, however whenever he says it (rarely does now) we would tell him off and explain its not kind.

He kept telling the other little boy to go away when we went to her house, not all the time but a few times this happend. I told him off and sometimes we left as he wouldnt stop and he had been warned...

Anyway everything was fine with my friend and I and there was no issues until the last time we saw eachother in person - she was really rude to me, accused my DS of bullying her DS - which my son hasn't done at all - he told him to go away, and showed an interest in his toys, and did a bit of normal 2 year old snatching,arguing etc..... not once did he hit him or scream in his face etc or did anything physcial happen...

Anyway my friend didn't want her DS to go to the playgroup as my DS had supposedly been bullying her DS (even though the playgroup is sooo busy they never see eachother anyway) But my friend is very, if your child doesnt want to do something you should never make them (eg: he doesnt want to sit in the pushchair they won't go out) - I am not so much like this, at the end of the day, if we run out of milk and need some, I have to go out as OH works late and can't go after work.... Anyway she was !!!!!y this whole day to me and I left thinking, I never want to see you again, how dare you insult my son infront of him... Not good for any childs confidence, and I was totally disgusted by her.

Spoken to here a couple of times about her DS's bday party, which I had no intention of going to after her behaviour and attitude... I deleted her after 6 wks of not speaking last night on facebook. This evening I recieve this text:

My 'friend': Helen, I dont know what i ever did for you to suddenly stop contact with me. I invited you to *** bday party and you said you were coming, then I confirmed the dates to which you said you had made plans which I thought was a bit off but didnt say anything. Then I dont hear anything from you and now I see you have deleted me off facebook?! Would be nice to know why:

Me: Hi, was nothing to do with *** birthday party. I was offended by what you said about freddie when I last saw you. You basically accused him of being a bully towards your son and implied he was really badly behaved. Most children do push the boundries at times, it would be odd if they didn't - and when freddie does, I tell him off and he has to sit on the naughty step for 2mins to think about what hes done and calm down before he apologises - but doing this is not always that easy at someone elses house. It was just strange of you to try and upset me like that, especially as whenever *** didn't enjoy playgroup/would squeal and cry when we were there/wouldnt sit in his buggy, I never commented on his behaviour, as it was not my place, or anyone elses but yours, to say anything. Don't get me wrong, freddie is no angel, but he is my son & I love him. I wouldnt want anyone to speak so negatively of freddie or any other child as I don't think it is good for their confidence. Everything you said that day seemed like a dig at me.

My 'friend': Your right, that day I had had enough. Freddie was and had been shouting at *** non stop for months and you were not telling him to stop and it got to the point **** was afriad of him and getting upset so like any mother I got protective of him. *** not enjoying playgroup or not getting in his pushchair was not effecting freddie, but freddie didnt want to be around ** as he was always telling him to go away which I also did not like. You also said your partner was teaching him to say this and laughing - and I did not find this funny at all. But hey you have made your point by not wanting to sort this out and do it your way. Hope you and freddie are well and you make other friends who don't offend you so badly. May I remind you that when it was your sons second birthday, I made cakes for him and made a fuss etc, but hey your loss.

*I didn't bother replying*

My 'friend': Look, lets not be like this, we are both being protective mums and I think thats its actually quite sweet we are. Freddie and *** are both lucky to have mums that are willing to stop friends over them! Don't want to fall out as I saw you as a good friend. Maybe I will see you around in *** *** sometime in the future and we can go for a coffee when things have calmed down a bit. Hope you and freddie are ok. x



I am so so so angry. I sobbed all the way home after I read the 2nd text she sent me, literally balling my eyes out, and freddie was saying "please cheer up mummy" bless him.:A

Am I over reacting or was she being a total b!tch?! I know my ds was not in the right at all for telling her son to go away - but he was told to stop, and it only happend a few times... kids do throw things, say nasty things etc etc... and her son is literally wrapped in cotton wool (he was 2 last month and still sleeps in their bed, as he doesnt like his bed) don't get me wrong - nothing wrong with this, but they don't want him in the bed with him anymore but just dont perservere with getting him out of their bed. Also I did not find it 'funny' that my partner taught him to say 'go away' - and I think it was probably me he learnt it from, as I am always telling OH to go away in a jokey way.... And also why the hell is she that fussed to bother texting me the day after I delete her off facebook if she is that offended by me? Anyone else find this fishy??? Oh and yes, lovely that she basked DS cakes for his bday, but she is forgetting that I drove over twice a wk to see her, which costs time and money, plus got her ds christmas presents.... At the end of the day, am not going to see her as I don't want ds being spoken about like that, especially not infront of him - it isnt good for a childs confidence surelly?

Sorry compeltley not tesco related just needed to get it off my chest:(:(:(:mad::mad::mad:

HC's Rule Number 1. You get two strikes and you're out! Certain things like stealing from me automatically uses both strikes.

I'm quite mean about it as people get a strike for the simplest of things. People have said I take it too far and need to relax the rules a bit but they work for me.

Anyway, maybe another chance wouldn't hurt?
