Typical, I load the kids up with sunscreen and make them wear hats and t-shirts (which is not as easy as it sounds with the gremlins!) then forget to sunscreen myself and now I am burnt to buggery.

I did the same yesterday in CHCH - was on at DH all day to make sure that Luke was out of the sun and then didn't even worry about myself... Luckily I was looking quite pale and it should settle into a tan - but still not the smartest thing ever...
Hope you feel better soon Emma, just what you needed at the mo I am sure ------------- Mum to two beautiful kids

I do that all the time too - I make sure Gina is well covered and DH is taken care of and then, normally, either forget me or run out of time ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Willie is calling me Melanoma Girl coz one of the guys at his work has just been diagnosed with terminal cancer that has spread from melanoma. I keep trying to remind him that just coz he's black as the ace of spades doesn't mean he's immune to the sun! ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Moisturise yourself as often as possible without rubbing it right in and if you can get half an hour or longer to yourself hop into a bath of the coolest water you can handle. 24-26 degrees is a good temperature.
I got a bit burnt over Christmas but came right fairly quickly doing this. I even had a burnt bottom  . Made it very unpleasant sitting down.

Ouchies, Murphy's Law eh?! I saw an older lady on the bus the other day that looked as if she used to spend hours in the sun in her younger days.. she was still really brown (whether it was natural or not I don't know), but her skin looked dreadful -------------

OMG Emma, we went out to the beach yesterday, I plastered the kids in sunscreen and they had hats sunnies, sunsuits on, of course Paris was the only one that cam eout unscathed as she didn't really go int he water (flash backs from bad experience last beach visit when a wave knocked her feet out from under her), I had heaps of sunsceen on me, except didn't think to put it where my top and shorts met, so i have a 3 inch thick red raw line across the back of where my shorts moved down while i was making sandcastles. Ayja spent heaps of time int he water so obviously her sunscreen got washed off and we weren't as quick as we could have been to put more on (i was so sickened when the burn came on on her arms and legs last night.... so angry at ourselves even though we had smothered it on her there had obviously been a small time where she'd run out of it) and mike, I managed to pin him and get som sunscreen on his newly shaved head and his ears which always get burnt bad. But he wouldn't sit for the rest cos he hates the stuff.
Of course, we get home last night, and he'd been up int he sand-dunes and burnt the crap out of his feet and legs, i have had to put antiseptic anaesthetic burn cream on his legs from the knees down all day today, he cannot actually walk without a heap of pain. the tops of his feet are realllly bad, I reckon they're probably close to 2nd degree burns from the looks of them. All I said to him was "I told you so". Doubt he'll be that stupid again. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

I get burnt while wearing sunblock all the time I layer it on, don't stay out for more than an hour, and still end up red! Yesterday I couldn't be bothered re-applying it after 2 hours, and tried to stay out of the sun instead, but still got burnt pretty bad. Seb of course is perfectly fine as always! -------------

Oh poor you guys! Its so easy to do when you're taking care of everyone else first though eh?
I'm much better about sunscreening and hatting myself this year, than I have been in the past. I did a survey for a uni student on melanoma last year and it really opened my eyes about it! ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

Some sunscreen to avoid:
I used this on myself and DD and we both got burnt
Just found a review on a website about it actually being 33 SPF not 50 SPF as well. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

yeah now see we have used that brand and that brand only for years, and the girls have never gotten burnt ever, this year mike read some review and conned me into not buying it, so we bought nivea stuff, and well, I don't like it, it obviously washes off far easier than the baby faces stuff (which is quite oily but serves it purpose), and all of us got burnt to some degree despite having had sunscreen on. We could have put it on again a little earlier than we did obviously, but this never happened with the baby faces stuff. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

Maybe we got a bad batch, but I'm not buying it again.
Which Nivea stuff did you buy Janine, the childrens one or the regular one? As I've always bought the childrens one, and find that great. But the other day they didn't have any left, and I had to buy some as we were going away. So I got the regular 30+ one, which is much thinner, and I felt burnt when I had it on ------------- http://lilypie.com">

yeah mike got the normal stuff.
to add to the earlier saga.. mike has decided to brave going to speedway this evening, even though i told him it would be stupid. wearing jeans and socks and shoes for an hour up town this morning made the parts where they rubbed break down into sores... but noooooo speedway is worth the pain. ARGH some men are just so stupid. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja
