    CQ - it's really hard to keep an eye on our own diets being busy mummas. I think upping your calories and trying to jam some more veggies in is a good idea. You just have to remember to try and keep track if you can. Sometimes I look back at my week and realise I've been living on toast and tea more than anything else.

    Skin really does dry out in winter - heaters just kill your skin. More water and moisturise morning and night with a 'oily skin' moisturiser WILL really help xoxoxo

    I just had a big cup of water after posting my last message in here I'd say it was about 300ml. Regarding the heater: We haven't tunred on the central heating yet... that is soooo drying. At the moment we have moved the tumble dryer out into our kitchen/living area and am using the heat from that! Nice and humid... good for the skin??? LOL

    Well I hate to say it but I caved and went to the Dr After months of trying to handle this with water, natural products and moisturising I had a really, really bad breakout. Worst of all there were about 6 big horrible lumpy spots on my neck Now my job, i'm supposed to portray a "healthy" image and I look like crap...so I went to the Dr and he's given me this antibacterial gel.

    I used it yesterday morn and eve and this morn and they've already gone down and the redness has eased...it's amazing. I hate putting this crap into my body but enough now. He also switched my pill. Apparently the one I was on (Levlen) is known for bringing out acne!! So he gave me Estelle which is suppsed toreduce Acne and i'm seeing him again in two months. I've got 5 more days of my old pill then i'll take my break and start on the new one and fingers crossed!
