Hoe do you cope in the sun then can you not go in the sun. 

Ps sorry I quote you in twice 

Eleanor

@Durhamjaide I only really have a problem in the summer, I get the rashes all over my skin if I'm not careful. Or if I go on holiday to a sunny country it spreads to my face.

I usually just west long sleeved and trousers or stay in the shade as much as a can. But I mean the reaction goes down after a few says so it's not too bad, it just irritates the skin 🙂

How do you manage it 

Eleanor

@Durhamjaide How do you mean 🙂

Durhamjaide

What do you use when you have those rashes in the summer 

Eleanor

@Durhamjaide there's a cream I can get which makes them go down but I only use that on holiday. It doesn't bother me much to be honest, if people ask what it is I just tell them, it only bothers me when it's on my face too but theres not much I can do except prevention really! 

Durhamjaide

Ok thanks

2. I sing in my sleep.

3. I didn't say my first word until I was 4 years old. 

4. I once did so badly in a physics test in year 7 that there was no grade available (the teacher had to get me to retake the test a few days later but a foundation level test paper rather than a higher level test paper.)

My mum signed me up for Brownies when I was 7 but we never heard back. Thankfully I don't really want to do Rangers and I didn't want to do Guides.

Wow so you have been part of the Girlguiding family for 13 years! That is awesome.

My mum has relatives from South Africa so that is also a great fact.

I was a rainbow and a brownie! I ended up doing cubs and scouts at the same time and decided to continue with scouting instead of going to guides. I ended up getting my chief scout gold award and went to kandersteg twice!

Fun fact about me...last year I swam with sharks! May sound crazy but they are one of my favourite animals and it was just the best experience! Nurse sharks so they are safe and gentle, amazing creatures

I also have hypermobility syndrome, so I'm with ya there @Aidan with the double-jointed thumbs...just so happens that the double-jointedness applies to most of my joints haha! Elastigirl over here
