Lilt and Jellytots most excellent adventure...

apple_muncher

I only use cold water and evoo on my face. And sometimes a scrub of fine sea salt + evoo. Cannot put anything even slightly perfumed on it - even kissing a friend with make up or perfume on makes me itchy! Ha ha - maybe no friends is the route I should go...!

Levi-

Liltster that is amazing news about your review, bonus, rise -- so many congrats to you but so well deserved as it's easy to see how hard you work and it's about time they fully appreciated it Hope you have fun with the extra money and buying clothes..:j

It's always worth a look in charity shops too.. for work stuff.. I recently found a Topman suit.. very very nice, black tailored trousers & jacket, looked to me more or less brand new.. £8 :T I've been wearing it a lot ever since. I always keep a few sets of basics of everything I wear to work which is white shirts, black trousers from the cheapest range of Asda or whatever but great as staple items. I also always have a couple of pairs of 'work shoes' and a tip is NOT to go basic on those Comfort and quality for work shoes, every time

Glad your face is improving and Jelly-tum is getting better again.

I hope you continue to have an awesome weekend and well done again soooooooo much on your work news, we're so proud of ya :beer:
loadsa love :heart2:.. Levi xxxx

Oh guys. I love you all.

Levi - lush to see you back. Where you been hiding you monkey? Thank you!

apple, SS - there isn't a thing I have tried. If I tell you that even water and cotton wool hurts right now, you get the picture. It will die down and I will go back to my 1% retinol cream at night and wake up in the morning with my usual crystal clear complexion. Regardless of the fact it takes a handful of prescription anti-histamines a day to keep it that way :rotfl:

I've had courses of steroids in the past to drag it back from near to where it is now. So I am pre-empting it with some fucibet cream the Dr gave me for dire facial emergencies (being a bridesmaid!) Lol.

Have spent... whew. An eye watering sum of money. But actually, in total I have SPENT £36.63 and £5.99 of that was postage. Cheeky gets. The rest is a wishlist on amazin. My sister wants to buy me something off it, but basically it is around £150 of clothing. :eek: And still am not finished. Am feeling poorly. Lol.

Speaking of which. !!!!!!!g fuming. Jelly has started with gooey eyes. Really? I mean seriously how do I go about catching a break?! The poor little mite.

Poor Jelly think I may come round and paint a ✴️ on your door...

Seriously hope you all (inc him) get a break from illness soon...

Can I just point out I said I was f r i ck ing fuming. MSE... *sigh* I need to teach you swear words and non-swear words it would seem.

Days like today it is hard being a single mum. I woke up at the crack of dawn. There was no cup of coffee in bed let alone a breakfast. In fact I have only just got my first cup of coffee of the day. It is 12:30 and it feels like it should be 6pm. We have been up for HOURS. So many hours that Jelly already had her third two-hourly dose of eye drops. Eye goo shall not reign in this house this week. I will WIN.

I've got the prospect of a gooey grumpy poorly child being awake until 9pm tonight, as she was last night, no break. No pampering. And I've got to cook dinner and I cannot be bothered.

The bright stars in my day though.. are as always my Jellytot in the rare moments I don't want to string her up today. (She used garlic dip from the fridge as face cream, hand wash, and polished the table with it this morning) and MEandO - I opened my present today. carefully and beautifully wrapped by you. And I cried because they are even more beautiful than I thought. Treasured they will be. Thank you so very much. And Happy Mothering Sunday to you, super Mum.

Happy Mothering Sunday to all of the super Mums I know. xx

Squeak!! Sorry lubava! That did make it sound like Him hadn't got me anything. Him in fact opened his wallet and handed over any amount of cash I wished to purchase some amazing cushions from M&O because I loved them so! She sent them ready wrapped so they have been sat aside ever since for today! He also bought me a giant 1kg slab of easter chocolate knows me well so he does.

Jelly is asleep. And I am torn between letting her sleep as she really isn't well, or waking her as she will undoubtedly not want to go to sleep tonight!!

I spent... an eyewatering amount of money on clothes today. But I am 90% done! £122 whilst out. And.. £150 online, but that will have some money paid back into the fund from sister and momma for birthday

We were going to go to the park but Jelly just wanted to huddle up in her pram and watch the world roll by bless her. so sad!

Many big hugs to all!! And to Levi the honorary mum... happy Mothers day. You do an amazing job of being both parents at once! xxx
