So today is my daughters swimming lesson, which she really enjoys and I'm glad we are able to provide for her, though not always cheap as paying for it comes at different times in the month as it is in a 10 week cycle! but we've managed it so far since last October! she is really good on her back, so much so we say she has a torpedo strapped to her. But the main thing is she enjoys it. Doesn't do any good for her skin however, she comes out seriously dry! ( I know it's odd). Speaking of which she had a shower and nearly screamed the house down her knees were so bad. So glad we didn't choose to give her a bath. Only problem then was that she woke her brother up :( Oh the fun!
I said that the heat doesn't do her skin any good and it was proved yesterday she comes up with funny white spots on her eczema when warm and she even came up with new patches of these on her neck. I think with wearing her dress, people can see and appreciate how bad it is even with all the creams that get put on. Doesn't help that school let her roll around in the grass... come on!! why would you let someone with severe eczema do that? But as her teacher said she doesn't really let it bother/ stop her. And she doesn't she's so use to having eczema now she just gets on with it. But sometimes I wish she would stop and appreciate how bad it is. I know that is an odd thing to say and it's good that it doesn't bother her but not sure she fully understands that she needs cream on all places and not just the little bits.
I promised a picture of my approved food box yesterday and so here are two, it came in a huge box with four little boxes in, and I could have packed it better.
Now I know there are alot of cakes in there, but as I said previously I am going to be putting one little one into lunch boxes and hubby can take some if he wants. And for a change something for me to eat at home. Apparently I saved £30 on this box compared with normal retail prices O_O I would not have spent that much on it, let alone the full amount it should have been. Don't get me wrong there are alot of things in there. It includes water bottles in there for madams lunch box too and I will be taking some things in there for camping. The olives are already eaten lol but seems an awful lot of money for not alot of items.
Going to go enjoy the sunshine today ( whilst taking precautions, duh) just becareful out there, as pollen is high, or very high depending where you are! the sun is strong, even if you don't have a high temp where you are. And yes i'm mothering people as it's my job day in and day out ;) take care x
** Little update, didn't take daughter to her swimming lesson as her eczema is too bad to contemplate her going into the water, considering she was screaming in the shower. So we are just going to the school garden party instead. Have been and got some new garden chairs, a bargain in Tesco ;)
