    Happy Monday, the sun is out and it's actually warm!!!! Hugs to those who had a bad weekend dietwise. I pigged out a bit yesterday as I was all sniffly, didn't even make it to the gym oops!!! I'm putting it behind me though, I have my first PT session this evening so it's onwards and upwards!!!

    Oh and I'm also trying to get a natural tan for the wedding. I'm fed up of faffing around with orangey fake tans, so here I am sitting out on my lunch break, trying to catch some rays! It'll be hard as I am so fair skinned, but I will give it a go! Just hope I don't burn :o

    Oh poor you Jo. :(

    Had a good weekend diet wise - had SW burgers and chips on Sat and then slow roast pork with loads of veg (no roasties for me - not keen on them anyway).

    We have set up the the suit order finally :j But today am having invite issues. :(

    It does seem to! I have stomach cramps at the moment too, so feeling abit sorry for myself! :rotfl: i did go shopping at lunch n get some minstrels and painkillers! No gym tonight, but (OH is home late all week) I have booked in for yoga (first time) Thursday night, and a power plate taster session on Friday (I hv a day off).
    I also brought a bag from new look which I am hoping will go with my dress. :)

    Wanchai, there I nothing wrong with being pale! I used to hate it, but now I am embracing it! (I only burn anyway, so trying to tan is pointless!) my dress is a lovely champagne / vintage lace, which gives my skin a creamy tone, as opposed to looking blue and dead! :rotfl: are you blonde too?

    I am (naturally) blonde with blue eyes! :D I know, I should just embrace being pale, but I have got pale-and-blotchy upper arms with lots of freckles to boot, not creamy porcelain Anne Hathaway skin! If I had her skin I would defo work the pale look lol. Oooh, champagne is fab with pale skin, you will look gorge! Your dress sounds amazing. Mine is lace too, but quite a light ivory colour.

    Is the bag to go with your wedding dress? How exciting!! This is my wedding bag, I splashed out and got it from Coast :o

    Well, my 15 minutes in the sun at lunchtime seem to have gone OK, if we get good weather for the next 8 weeks I won't need fake tan for the wedding!! One less thing to worry about (and pay for :rotfl:) and no risk of horrid orange elbows!!! :D Then after the honeymoon I will revert to my usual shade-loving self :)

    Well my skins not great, but it isnt particulary red or freckily. I am desolately trying not to catch the sun this summer (worked great so far with all the rain!) cos at the mo my arms, back, shoulders etc are all a very similar shade! If it start to get sunny they go a pinky peach (still not able to call it a tan it's so subtle!) but then parts will be different colours! :eek:
    Yeah, the bag is to go with my dress, if neccesary I will tea dye it darker. :) only £8. Yay! :money:
