If you're a cancer patient in the UK and are looking for suitable skincare products - or you need a gift for someone who is - then take a look at the totally natural Defiant Beauty range of skincare gifts developed by Jennifer Young in conjunction with cancer patients/survivors and specialist nursing staff:

Skin Care Gifts for Cancer Patients – By Jennifer Young - Beauty Despite Cancer

www.beautydespitecancer.co.uk

Defiant Beauty is a speciality skin care range developed by experts. The ideal gift for cancer patients available to buy online.

Since Friday evening I've been using Defiant Beauty Smooth Skin Balm, suggested for me by Jennifer Young herself, as my hands had become unpleasantly dry since surgery for womb cancer. Feeling increasingly dismayed and embarrassed about the very poor condition of my skin, and with nothing I'd tried making much - if any - difference, I'd reached the stage of contemplating buying clothes with pockets in order to keep my hands hidden as much as possible.

I'm amazed - and so grateful - to report that this wonderful Smooth Skin Balm has already made a huge improvement to my hands. I could see a difference in their appearance after the first application Friday evening and my skin is continuing to return to normal. In such a short space of time I'm already much more confident about my hands being on show and I really can't recommend this product highly enough.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Relief.

I recently finished proofreading the second of the two fishing books I told you about a while back so I now have a bit more 'free' time - although not a lot, as there's always something to be done!

I've had a lot of typing to do over the last week or so and have found myself with pins and needles through my hands and lower arms as a result, so I'm pleased to have found the following site/exercises to help alleviate the problem:

Gordon the Geriatric Snail Conclusion.

Gordon staggered to his lady snail’s door

And lay there, panting, on the floor.

Eventually Gordon rang the bell

And he heard Betty give a yell.

“Just a minute!” Betty warbled,

Although to Gordon it sounded garbled,

As he’d forgotten to put his hearing aid in

And Betty’s aging voice was growing thin.

Gordon straightened up his tie

And when Betty’s door opened he gave a sigh,

As he saw a vision standing there,

With golden highlights in her hair,

Although – and this is no joke –

Her hair was yellowed from cigarette smoke,

But to Gordon’s “good” eye, Betty was his dream girl

And he loved the way her “golden” hair curled.

Unknown to Gordon, Betty had a secret,

And she’d managed for many years to keep it,

But she loved Gordon and felt he should know,

That bits of her were just for show.

In years gone by, Betty was a moll,

She’d been married to a gangster who had called her Doll.

One day in a shoot-out with a rival

Betty’s deception for survival

Had begun when her husband had been out-gunned

And Betty had found herself on the run.

But the biggest secret she was yet to tell?

She was, in fact, a slug in her late husband’s shell!

Gordon was shell-shocked – if you’ll pardon the pun –

And his poor old aging head had spun.

His heart was pounding and his flowers wilted,

He felt as though he’d just been jilted,

So Betty had to sit him down,

And as he sat confused he found,

A love for Betty so pure and true,

That Gordon knew what he had to do.

Gordon declared undying love for Betty

And suggested that they both, from now on, should be

Totally honest with each other,

So he confessed he was actually Gordon’s twin brother.

He was Colin and, when Gordon had died,

He had used Gordon’s cover to lead a happier life,

As Gordon was the twin who’d always been the best

And Colin had taken over Gordon’s success.

Colin and Betty decided it was fate

That they’d met and organised this date,

So they agreed to remain Gordon and Betty

And to keep each other’s secrets.

Gordon and Betty were very soon married

As at their age it could prove fatal had they tarried,

So Gordon watched Betty as she walked up the aisle

And her beauty made Gordon’s heart sing and he smiled,

For he knew theirs was a true love that would never fail,

And they lived out their days as Gordon and Betty Snail.

Gordon the Geriatric Snail Gets Ready For A Date.

Gordon, as you know, was a very old snail
Whose eyesight was beginning to fail,
But he knew his bucket list by rote
And kept it as a folded note
In the pocket closest to his heart,
And every day Gordon would start
By deciding which ambition to pursue
And double-checking what to do.
Today Gordon's face was glowing,
His excitement just kept on growing,
For he'd met a lady snail of late 
And today would be meeting her for a date.
This was another item on his list,
For Gordon until recently had never been kissed,
But pole vault failure had changed his luck
And Gordon was hoping for a lovely time.
So he set off at breakfast with his flowers
As he knew that it would take him hours
And he hoped the flowers wouldn't wilt before
He managed to arrive at his true love's door.

Gordon the Geriatric Snail Tries Pole Vaulting.

Gordon was ninety and had never been kissed,
It was one of his ambitions on his bucket list,
But today Gordon was aiming high,
As pole vault was next on his list to try.
Gordon held the pole and shuffled along,
At ninety years old he wasn't too strong,
He suddenly gave a little jump
And landed back down with a bump.
Gordon gave a disgusted snort,
His pole vault career had fallen short,
But a little old lady snail watching our hero
Cheered, despite him reaching zero.
As he passed her, Gordon gave her a kiss,
Then he crossed both ambitions off his bucket list.

Gordon the Geriatric Snail Tries Pilates.

Gordon the snail had the ump,
He was tired of having a wet rump,
So he made up his mind to try Pilates,
But as he exercised he farted.
Gordon shot out through the door
And landed, crumpled, on the floor,
He decided it might be a safer bet
If he didn't bother and just stayed wet!
This is fine for a snail,
Nature intends them to leave a trail,
However, for the rest of us,
Staying water-tight is a must.
Although I also ought to mention 
The problem of urinary retention.
These problems each can be resultant
From surgery, so please see your Consultant.

Gordon the Geriatric Snail.

Gordon was a very old snail,
Wherever he went he left a trail.
This can happen to any of us as we age.
A cough or sneeze is all it takes
If you can't apply your bladder's brakes,
So do your pelvic exercises
To avoid unpleasant, wet surprises!
