My 11 year old daughter is away on a Girl Guide International Jamboree in Essex. She has just phoned me and asked me to take her some more money when I go for a visit tomorrow. LOL she has managed to spend £25 since Saturday . Anyway during the conversation she let it slip that she has burnt her shoulders quite badly(luck has it that there are no blisters). I packed suncream for her,but she said factor 15 was not strong enough(I think this has been said to her by one of the leaders), I used factor 15 in 35degree heat in Egypt last October and she didn't burn then,she has never burnt in her life as I have always been very careful.I am sitting here fretting about it now and I am a little peeved that this should happen whilst in the care of others. I understand that the leaders have 35 other girls to look after and that can't be easy, but my god don't they realise that burnt skin can lead to skin cancer later on in life.I think she has applied it once and not re-applied it later, you know what kids are like. Thats why they need reminding.
There, rant over. Sorry guys but I have been a little tearful about it,maybe I'm over reacting because she is my only baby and I miss her :tear_drop:
