When my skin went doolally big time I couldn't even use E45 cream. A pharmacist recommended aqueous cream or Double Base. I prefer DB but both are very gentle and both available from a pharmacy. Both can be used to cleanse and moisturise. Hope that helps.

I am so out of step with everyone else here. I'm not buying these but I like wide legged patterned trousers. But then again I like Join and Yong Kim as well so I'm doomed before I start :o)

I don't think he's particularly clued up. I don't really watch him but he has given poor advice in the past in my opinion. And yes, I agree he did ought to know one way or t'other. But as they're not technically lilies, the advice is slightly different. Its the pollen that's the problem with...

Then he should state that. As I said I had no idea whether they were or weren't poisonous but they're not the same plant so that's where my confusion would be. But I'm not on selly telly flogging them. :o)

I'm not saying he has scruples and I wouldn't know if Cala lilies are poisonous but they're a completely different species from the grandiflora type of lilies that most definitely are poisonous to cats. Cala lilies are zantedeschia not lilium.

I bought some fabulous viscose ones from Sainsbury's last year. They were £12 on an offer. So I thought I would huge them a try. They're on a navy background and a very subtle patchwork print in multiple tonal colours. I absolutely loved them. Went with everything and anything. Washed like a...

I'm always neutral, no matter where I am in the tanning spectrum. I can use a cool one in the summer when I'm full on two week holiday tanned and get away with it but a neutral is always best for me. I range from fairly light to medium beige to tan but I can also wear medium tan. And I'm Julia...

I really like delicate fine jewellery so I've gone for it. Not sure it'll stand up to daily wear and tear at that price but it could be a pretty occasional piece. There are often negative comments of Links jewellery but if you do like delicate pieces then Links stand up well to daily wear and...

In Bare Minerals speak Fairly Light is neither cool nor warm. Its a neutral. BM have three skin tones rather than the usual two. I'm a neutral in BM terms too. I don't know if that helps or hinders or neither one! Skintone does change over the years for sure but I wouldn't think you'd change...

Yes I'm getting loads too. Mind you I blame Shopperholic for the main ones. I'm sure she flagged up the clothes website Navabi and I clicked a link. I get loads of very tempting ads from them now. It might be costing me a fortune. I couldn't possibly comment :o)

Oh that's a shame May. Was it for your holidays? Some were lovely patterns and would look great by the beach or pool. If they would do what it said on the tin of course. I noticed they now have scarves, proper scarves, in some of those patterns on the LR website.

I really got a shock a few months ago when I sold two rings on eBay. One was a 9ct gold smokey quartz "bubble" set rings from Gems TV. It was quite an unusual design and I was gobsmacked that it went for nearly twice what I had originally paid for it!! I suppose I'm quite lucky in that my local...

The interest on money is a business account is an absolute pittance. Its nowhere near what we get as consumers and that's bad enough. Even if they were sitting on thousands for a fortnight they'd make a few pounds. Its a standing joke in my business that we don't get enough interest on the...

Not quite sure Ms Portas' prediction of a "soon to be victim of the Internet age" has come true. That article was written in 2011!! Her own foray into the high street with HOF hasn't survived. Started in 2011. Now disappeared

My 25 year old is more reasonable. HE buys the Lola Rose. I wear it. :o)

Worth remembering that base metal will last better on a bracelet than it will on a ring or a necklace. Base metal ... well all metals really, even gold plate ... wears more when it is worn on fabric than on skin. Skin is less abrasive. Also worth remembering QVC have a one year guarantee on...

I've never quite got my head round the difference between modal and viscose. This scarf isn't for me but I do love Lola Rose. I'd really like to know where I can similar pieces. I've bought a few lookalike pieces that are cheaper but the quality just isn't there and you know they're not Lola...

Having worn a brace in my 20s for orthodontic reasons (not cosmetic) I take my ****** hat off to anyone who has to, or decides to, go through it. You know that old nugget ... it hurt so much it made my eyes water? Well I can honestly say having my brace adjusted really did make my eyes water. It...

Shoulder bag. That's me out. Hey ho. Its a nice bag though.

Gawd?! Of all of them? I'd have to lay them out on the bed. A la Kipling Sandy lol. Might be an idea though. Last time I looked I found a black one that I had absolutely no recollection of buying! But I must have done and used it as there was a packet of tissues and a lip gloss I recognised...
