    Oh my - we did 3 miles, and it hurt sooooo much:rotfl:

    We look like two crumpled pathetic heaps now, and not the pictures of physical fitness that we would like! More work needed......

    Well, DD did me proud and mucked in to get the house sorted in time for my visitors.

    It was fun! The stylist brought in loads of clothes of the type I cannot afford, for me to try on, then we picked 3 outfits. Then I had my hair and make up done by a make up artist, then we went into the city where we did the shoot. Was excellent, with a fab photographer who def made me look more yummy mummy than slummy mummy :D

    We commandeered the baby changing room in one of the nearby restaurants so we could change outfits, and my makeup artist hovered nearby so she could reapply lipgloss and move stray strands of hair every few seconds - I felt like a model!

    Then, security came along and asked us to stop taking pictures, but by then we had got what we needed so we went :o

    And......I have borrowed one of the dresses and some shoes for the office party tomorrow - I don't have to go along to the "haves" feeling quite the "have not" that I sometimes do :j

    I am really pleased with the photos, although I have only seen them on the camera viewer, so am looking forward to seeing the real thing.

    Sadly no fee, of supermodel proportions. In fact, no fee at all. But it was fun and I think was good for my confidence too, which can't be a bad thing.

    It was so strange having my make-up touched up every few seconds. I need to do day 3 of my exercise DVD but I don't want to ruin the make up by sweating :rotfl:
