    @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 
  • Former MemberFormer Member Living the Zen life 🧘🏼‍♀️ Posts: 1,989 Extreme Poster
    @Durhamjaide How do you mean 🙂
  • DurhamjaideDurhamjaide Posts: 1,259 Wise Owl
    What do you use when you have those rashes in the summer 
  • Former MemberFormer Member Living the Zen life 🧘🏼‍♀️ Posts: 1,989 Extreme Poster
    @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!

    1. I can do a back handspring on a rolling piece of gymnastics equipment.

    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!

    I met him when I was young, about 6. He was speaking infront of the school! I can't remember what about, but my parents keep telling me for weeks on end I would not shut up about birds! Haha

    I can type without looking at the keyboard. My spelling is accurate most of the time.
