    Lady M - I've read all the differing accounts of M.E. and pregnancy as well. I remember one lady that improved and has stayed well ever since :) However, I know that people with other autoimmune conditions often improve during pregnancy and then revert to 'normal' once they've had their baby. It's so puzzling! I even had a Dr suggest that I have a baby in the hope that it would cure my M.E. (:eek: ).

    Hopefully once your body has got over the initial shock the M.E. will back off and let you have a peaceful pregnancy. Even if it doesn't, at least you are well practiced at resting and listening to your body :) I know that your OH is brilliantly supportive so all you need to do is rest your best and hope that your body adjusts. Try to fit in a little pampering when you can and you might still score some UUs! :rotfl:

    Lots of love,

    Wil xx

    My Imperial Leather shower gel is almost gone. Tomorrow's shower will its last. Also my No 7 Body Scub is almost gone too. This has been a GREAT UU/OUTs month for me. I am sitting at 20 UUs and it is only half way through :beer:.

    Also one of my Clinique lipsticks has snapped off. It still has loads left and I am reluctant to TA. I ahte using a brush to apply but in true :money:I feel I will have to.

    I am also giving up the search on my missing items and I am declaring them as UUs.

    Itzybitzy - at least you can get a Porefessional with Glamour this month :rotfl: (I hope to buy a copy to get Girl Meets Pearl :))

    HAPPY (late!) BIRTHDAY, AND! :beer:

    A UU for me:

    Arbonne Cooling Foot Crème (15ml) - WNBA as it smelt musty and wasn't cooling! (It was rubbish and I'm glad it is finished :rotfl:)

    Some sachet INs, from the LiB little beauty box:

    Liz Earle Skin Tint (3 x 2ml, in Bare, Beige and Beach)
    Super by Perricone - Bright Eyed Flawless Eye Cream (3 x 0.5ml)
    Lavera Lifting Serum (3 x 0.5ml)

    I have to say that the customer service I've had with LiB has been excellent. I ordered the Lavera samples by accident and they're sending me my other choice as well as it was too late to stop my order (I emailed immediately to try and alter my order but it was over the weekend). Super-impressed! :) I'm hoping that the Perricone eye cream will undo the effects of the no 7 P&P eye cream :rotfl:

    Got-it-spend-it - I daren't look at the Liz Earle make up as I'm sure I'd want all of it! (I am on the look out for a decent loose powder but I have to finish what I have first. I'd be tempted by a blush if they have a very pale matte pink...)

    Big congrats Lady M what lovely news! :j:j:j We've missed you.

    Happy Birthday And, lovely pressies. Hope you feel much better soon. :eek:

    And finally thank you Wil for the heads up on the Glamour freebies, I didn't know about that one! Saw Marie Claire last night whilst food shopping and managed to resist TBS Lip and Cheek Tint as I just do not need it and in all probability would not use it after an initial experiment, see I'm learning! Benefit however is a different matter... :D

    Just popped in to catch up, my goodness we can chatter! Also have a surprise UU to declare, knew there wasn't an awful lot left but hadn't noticed this spluttering as such but it ran out this morning! Trevor Sorbie Beatiful Volume Volume Booster - WBA - really like this, gives my hair a bit of extra oomph without weighing it down or feeling like its got lots of product in it. Its a liquid spray and I prefer it to a mousse in the week when I'm getting ready for work as I find my hair dries more quickly than it would if I was using mousse and for me in the morning time is very much of the essence! :rotfl:
