My Place

When I get paid this week I was thinking of going shopping for something to wear on the 27th maybe going to Matalan, New Look, Primark someplace like that for something cheap but cheerful.

Think I'll buy myself a denim mini skirt and a cartoonish t-shirt possibly the animal from the muppets t-shirt that New Look has, team that with a pair of heels and my hair straightened and I'll look ready for a night of partying.

Really looking forward to next Saturday night and I'm looking forward to wearing some new clothes as well, though I'll be wearing opaque tights I can't remember the last time my legs were on show!

Last night I went to bed with socks on my hands. I'd read that children who have eczema on their hands sometimes go to bed with their cream and damp tubular bandages on their hands so that's what I did last night and to stop me making damp patches on the pillow with the damp bandages I put socks over as well.

As I lay waiting for sleep to come I didn't feel the urge to scratch once as my hands stayed nice and cool, shame the itchiness is killing me today though!

It worked and my hands are a bit softer than they were before, the eczema patches are really drying up badly and the skin is starting to peel so being able to type and not feel the skin really stretching is a bit of a relief at the moment, I hope it lasts for a wee while.

Think I'll be avoiding putting the cream on until lunchtime, but in the meantime I'm going to slather my hands with E45 sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't but I need to get my desk cleared this morning and I can't do that if I've got the steroid cream on my hands as it's very greasy even with me wearing the tubular bandages.
