OK - I am out of vinegar, so does anyone know another solution?

I have taken some ibuprofen for now, which is easing things a bit; I am at that shivery, 'I feel cold' stage most likely due to all the blood rushing to the surface of my torso and chucking heat out left right and centre.

Won't be long and I will head off to bed, see if I can't get some sleep - - its bound to be a bit better in the morning.

 

Thanks Jenny - I don't feel nauseas at all, no headache, no nothing apart from skin that looks like a traffic light stuck on red and feeling cold (fingers, toes and nose at the moment); I've been 'water smart' all weekend, and have had pint after pint in the knowledge that I was otherwise knocking seven bells out of myself.

The only other problem is my joints and muscles, but that is nothing to do with the sunburn.

 

Not too bad this morning thanks, an hour or so of shivering under the duvet gave way to me being red hot (literally) for the rest of the night. Shoulders are the worst, even the weight of my shirt is hurting, but other than that I am fine

I am indoors for most of today, and will make sure I cover up when I am out, I promise

Hmmmmmm............... people at work seem to think that I am a messiah! Everytime they ask about my sunburn and ask to get a glimpse at to see how bad they then exclaim 'Jesus Christ!' - - but I am not, I am only fat controller

Managed to get through the day with my shirt feeling like it was made of sandpaper, which I have now whipped off and it will stay off for the remainder of the day, with the possible exception of a t-shirt being worn for seat belt purposes when I go to pick Mrs C up from work.

 

Mrs C brought home a bottle of Soltan Moisturising Soothing Aftersun (none of the aloe vera stuff left in stock, so I am apparently not the only eejit around here this weekend ) - anyway, after my shower it has been sprayed on and gently rubbed in and the relief is almost instant.

I smell like the inside of a tart's handbag, but at least I am not in as much pain.
