****I DID IT!!!****

OMG what a weigh in!!!!! I'd not had a bad week but i wouldn't say that i'd been particullally good!!!!


BUT saying that i didn't feel scared to get on the scales, i stood on and it was wobbling between 17.13 -18.5. well last week i was 18.4.5 so it was touch and go, then it started to settle down 18.0.5 and finally just as it beeped 18 dead!!!! ARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!! Wooooooooo!!!!


i said to helen you know what that means and she said yes but she clearly didn't!!! haha it means i'm now not only at my lightest for a hell of a long time (so long i couldn't give you a date!) (the lightest in past few years is 18st 2lbs) it means i've finally reached god knows how many mini goals!


one to be 18.2

two to hit 18st

which in turn leads to three and 4

3: 2 stone lost


4: 10%

Woooop!!!!!
and in addition my 4.5lb loss made me Slimming of the Week..... i feel that that should have a jingle attached to it!!!!


It was quite funny really cos i weigh everyone, do certificates, work out slimming of the week i hated to say it was me but at the same time why should i be exculded cos i do the weighing!!!!


i got a bumber bag of goodies!!!!

tines of beans, peas, sardines, mug shots, alpen bars, fruit amongst some of the things


Then to top it all we won one of the raffle prizes!!!! hehehe

came away with another hula hoop, leg weights and a badmington set!!!!


Here's a copy of my latest graph from SW website!!! as you can see the green line shows my Club 10 wooop!!!! (sorry still giddy!)

the line at the bottom is what SW call PAT (personal attainment target) my real one is about 11stone but as its along way off i'm just doing things in small steps

My 1st goal was 28lbs!!! my next one is the next 26lbs.
26lbs might seem like an odd amount to lose why not go for another 2stone as its only 2lbs off, well its psycological more than anything. as you have less weight to lose it gets harder so small steps.


also doing it this way i've evened up my 6 mini targets all because of my fear of the number 13!!!!


ok so bear with me and i'll explian myself!!!


my max BMI weight is 11stone 1lb. well thats only 1lb off 11stone right and only 2lbs away from the 10stones.

with me so far, well if i weigh 10st 13lbs it has a 13 in it so rather than going for that i'd rather aim for another 1lb!!! so my real Pat is 10st 12lbs!!!

But again that is on the far horizon and while i don't doubt SW will help me lose more weight its so far off not even binoculars will help

so goal one was 28lbs!!!

goal 2 is 26lbs

goal 3is 23lbs (these are guesses i've left the proper thing i worked out at work)

goal 4 is 21lbs

goal 5is 18lbs

goal 6 is 12lbs


So for now i've done goal one and i know its a bot geeky but i feel really proud of myself and below is an image of what 2stone could look like!!!!

Meow!!!!!!

Roll on the next 26lbs!!!!!

i've also set myself a target date that is the monday before i go to egypt at the end of october!!!!

this should be realistic with a 1.5lb Weight loss per week.


what do you think that that is realistic enough or should i allow a bit longer?

Hulled the Hoop

A couple of weeks ago i won a hula hoop and its been sat in the SW bag at the side of the sofa ever since. with the plan to palm it off on a neighbours kid, but today as it was sunny i thought i's open it and put it together (each of the colours is a different part that slots together.) i was quite worried with it being a kiddie one it wouldn't fit round me but it did with a small bit of room to spare.

So i am filling in my F.I.T logg with hula hooping for one of todays activities!!!! and i have a photo to prove it!


The count down to the wedding is now in single week figures just under 6 weeks to go.

I have been looking at dresses for weeks and have even bought a lovely one from ASDA but took it back as i couldn't fit into it.

i've had it into my head for ever that i want a blue dress, that bright blue thats very in now, but i've wanted it for over 12 months but it looks like almost every other female wedding guest is also going to be in the same colour, so once again stephanie won't be getting what she wants.

i have seen a lovely dress in debenhams but its black and i really do not feel black is an appropritate colour for a wedding unless its a black and white themed wedding or a goth wedding. that just my own personal oppinion and i'm sure many people will disagree with me.

Anywho the hunt continues.
I got this dress today from Tescos of all places!!! and i really do like it and i doubt anyone else will be wearing Florance and Fred!!!
i feel quite torn really as a lot of other people are spending big sums on dresses, but not being stingy i really don't see the point in spending £70+ on a dress i will only wear once (hopefully) as it will be too big for me soon!!!

i put on my pledge card that i want to wear a size 18s dress to the weddig but i tried on a size 18s in debenhams today and i looked like a bag of rusty spanners. i am now accepting i do not give a rats bum cheek what size the dress is as long as i look OK in it not even bothered about half decent any more i officially give up!! NOT on tge diet that is.

my new mini goal for the wedding which i'll update on my card is to be in the 17s by the wedding even if its 17.13½!!!!! 5lbs to go!!! 4wi's a holiday to poland and another Hen do!!!! hmmmmm

watch this space


anyway comments about the dress would be much appriciated, contructive critasism welcome no abuse please xxxx

Tracker

Krakow Here we come again

i week today and i'll be off to Krakow again. i just hope its as good this time round. 4

last time i went with 5 mates this time i'm with my mum.

sounds daft that even thought i'm gonna be doing the same trips i'm really excited about it. i'm sure i've said all this before but i am sooooooo excited

we're gonna get out money changed tomorrow and i've got clothes chucked into my case just need to do the basics and charge my camera


i checked us in online tonight so all we have to do is got straight to security!!! wooo


The diet has been going better. still not 100% back on track but am following SW principals again!!!! on Wednesday i didn't stop eating all day, i had something on the hour every hour til about 3pm!!! but it was all free food so allowed

next week wanna have more GREEN days. then when we're in Poland it'll be all read.


even after the beer walk i managed to lose ½lb, i just hope its not all caught up with me this week.

i've only got 3.5lbs to get my 10% if i don't blow it at weekend this is potentially in reach. i set a mini goal of 1lb and i'll be gutted if i don't get that!

i re-measure myself yesterday and i haven't lost anymore inches still 42-44.5-49!!! boooo

My dad bought the Wii Active last week and i've tried the 30day programme done it 3x so far but missed the last 2 days!! ops not a great start but its really hard work but not too hard if you know what i mean. defo worth a try. i want the wii walky pedometer thing but its very expensive at the mo, will wait and see if it comes down in price.


well big bro is back and i can say although i watched the opening show and i wached the 1st eviction and tonights eviction i really don't know whats going on with it. but i love stuff like little brother and big mouth just got it on. i will prob get into it once a few more go

i will say i'm glad that one went she was so irritating!!! when she said she wasn't bothered if she was up n if she stayed she'd know the public lover her!!! moron!!! (BTW thats my word of the week!!!)

Whit Friday 2009

well its Whit Friday again!!! can you beleive it cos i really can't. I went down to meet some friends at the Band Contest. What a wet and miserable night, i nearly didn't bother but as they'd waited for me thought i should, got soaked and froze on my way down and we didn't stay long. i met them in the cafe didn't have anything (i had had my tea!) the we went to a pub for a wee, and didn't buy a drink. but we did call in the Choc Box for some sweets for tomorrow and i got some peanut butter M&Ms!!!!

This shop is fab like an old fashioned sweetshop on one side, then has "penny sweets" (from 5p up!) then hand made truffles, imported america candy and some other lovely bits. if only i wasn't on a diet i'd be in more often!!!

I still can't get over losing weight last week, have a feeling it'll all fall apart tomorrow with the Beer walk, and the weather forecast is appalling. not sure what coat i've got to wear, i can't really get away with one but at the same time will really need one. gonna take a brolly.


i had planned to wear my pumps tomorrow but they will be hopeless in the rain. was gonna wear my roxy boots but now i've dug them out i've realised they are suede! other options are my white sketchers and some old green trainers but they will all get ruined plus i think there will be lots of ankle shots due to the shakles and ball and chain i'll be wearing!!!! thinking old green trainers and hope that the mud isn't too deep!!!!


Oh in case you are wondering what we are doing tomorrow. it the Saddleworth Beer walk

:'(

and he needs to re-open my root canal filling once i've had my antibiotics!!!! oh no and i'm just coming off sick review as well!!!!!


At SW class this week for every 1lb people lost they had to write there full names on the back of a strawberry. then put it in the strawberry tin!!! confused?! i was especially when i took over wi and had to get people to do it but didn't have a clue why!!! But helen (the consultant) explained that for the whole of june we're gonna do this then the last monday we're gonna have a kind of award / lucky dip night with wimbeldom / strawberries and chamagn related prize or something along those lines.

i love my SW class 99% of the people are fab, there a couple of ones i can't get my head round but i think thats cos they don't stay. and i don't see the point of paying £4.50 per week just getting weighed (gaining usually) and going, they are the ones who need the most support,

I also love helen cos she is a normal human bean! she realises everyone has lives, she's realsistic and helpful and not snotty oh look at me i've lost 300million lbs in 2 seconds and i'm a twig (thinking the ww woman at bolton quakers church mibobby from when i was at uni) (14 points was all she was allowed as she was soooooooooooooooooo slim! anyone told her the minimum ww points is 16! doh brain- well that was my reation on meeting her harsh but first impresseions count!)

we also have some fantastic member losses people who have almost always lost withonly minimum gains, since jan and others who joined within the last 2 months that have lost the same as me in total, but instead of being jealous i feel really proud of them, i kn
ow i've been dicking about with it and i love there commitment and can see a real change in them, they really do inspire me.

i also love weighing people, still not good at dealing with the gains or the upset i've only lost 1lb brigade but that will come and i love seeing the losses and how people have changed i also really like the compliments i've got only had a couple on weight loss but a couple of people have said they like me weighing them and my little pep talks when they think they should have done better and i point out how well they've done, just need to listen to my own advice

ok peeps thanks for reading and good night xxxx

***sneeky Peek***

we all know they are a never a good idea but i think you'll forgive me this one!!!




This is the Tshirt i will be wearing tomorrow well from 2am this morning!!!!!! its actually a lot better thank i expected!!!! was worried it'd be too short but its actually a bit big yipppeeeee (don't get too excited its a 22's!)


please excuse the 1st photo i've not had a shower yet but had to try it on!!!!

we do have other accessories but i'll leave them as a surpisre not gonna be able to WI this week which i'm quite upset about, well upset the wrong word but i love my SW class its a really nice group and i love seeing everyone, so i will miss that and worried about the damage i'll do in Lith but well its arrive i will try and control it as much as i can.

right i'd best go and pack then have a shower n off to a friends, then out for tea, then have to stay awake till the minibus picks us up at 2ish!!!! :D xxxx

I have to hold my hand up and say i have OCD!!!

Or OTW

obsessive Cullen / Twilight disorder.

i don't know what is up with me, i am 28 years old and reasonablly sane most of the time, but this bloody twilight saga has taken over my life!!!

the best of it is i had to be persuaded to read the books!!!

then i got talkin g into buying the film (i know own 2 copies!!!) the directors note books and the movie companion book and i am on the verge of pre-ordering this thing Stephenie Meyers has done on the complete history of twilight!!!



But its him Robert Pattinson that i love he is lush!!!! i even re-watched the Goblet of fire just to see him in it!!!!

and i have been looking on I Tunes for his other songs.

i have even added loads of Twilight fan sites to my Twitter i only have 3 real life twitter frinds the rest are celebs or Twitter related, i even installed twitter fox so i wouldn't miss out!!!!!!


BUT on the plus side while i am obsessing i'm not eating!!!!!!

so could u please slap me and tell me that at 23 he is too young for me and he is famous so i will never ever meet him and 3 get a life!!!!


LOL xxx

I don't quite know How to say How I feel...

... just been listening to chasing cars by Snow Patrol (I tunes random) and i love the line:

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

It applies to me, mainly because i don't know how i feel at all, about so many things, i am constantly happy and sad at the same time about the same things. I can't seem to articulate how i feel to myself let alone anyone else!!!

I lost ½lb this week, Yay a loss, after last weeks disaster and going out again this week for birthday drinkies i was dreading it. No WI for me next week as in Lithuania!!! but i've said i'll try for a maintain for the week after, trouble is i have no idea what kind of food to expect in Lithuania and i've googled and am finding loads of pizza places and the rest says traditional Lithuanian food, but no explination as to what this is!!!

i've also been googling images of Kaunas and it looks quite pretty, just a bit concerned as what there will be to do, but i'm sure we'll find something and apparently Charl knows the owner of a bar out there (Very Random i know!) who is gonna open up for us on the Tuesday night as most night life is confined to the weekend (this contradicts google as meant to be a studenty city?!?!!?!?!) so i am going to open my mind and face my fears.


People keep asking me where Lithuania is so if your not sure here is a map, it sits on top og Poland and Belarus and under Latvia, HTHs!
:D
Feel a bit better now i have sorted out monay (Tan is getting it for me!!) and travel insurace (£53.25 for an annual policy but does include schedual airline liquidation cover!) BUT i'm not covered for travel to Afghanistan , Isreal, Cuba and somewhere else!or extreem sports! (oh shucks and i was gonna chuck myself off a cliff with only my knicker elastic to save me!!!)

Shocked by Anarexia Programme

I've just put the Ferne Cotton anarexia programme on ITV2 and i'm shocked at the lengths people go to and how in this day and age people will still do crash diets and fast and go on these pro anna websites. I do understand that its an Illness and BDD is on the rise but it shocks me that it still goes on.

What also surprises me the things that people i know do and say regarding diets. we're in the C21 and surly by now we should have all learnt that crash dieting makes us fatter and the only true formula to lose weight is to burn more calouries that we take in.

Easier said thatn done or we'd be all "normal" sized. and i am as guilty of the next person for not following this simple guide line.

So i am commited to following a sensible eating plan and doing more activity and getting over my birthday blip!!!!!

I gained 1.5lbs and it shows how easy it is to do!!! kinda back on track now but am struggling a bit but i will come through it and i'm not vanishing and ignoring it,

gutted i will still be in the 18s for Lith but hey ho !!!!

I want to be a bohemian!!!!!

OMG We Will Rock You was fantastic!!!!! I loved every minute of it !!!! The cast was amazing, below is a cast photo i found through the power of google, i don't think its 100% the same as who was on last night, cos the girl in the pink n green corset (Meat Loaf) was a black girl last night. And Ant Mcpartlin wasn't in it!!! (haha its a pic from the opning when loads of Celebs went to visit.

Kevin Kennedy was fantastic, wasn't in it enough really!!!! The whole cast was amazing and its really good how they have updated the script to get more recent Popular culture / New items in!!!

If you haven't been to see it you need to get tickets and go, i was amazed by the number of songs the managed to get in and how they all worked and fitted round the story line!!! i totally wanna be a bohemien!!!!!


I did have a little cry, even though its so funny, the last song before the interval is No body but you (only the young die young) and before it starts they name a few famous people who died young, then they say Freddie and start singing. well as soon as she said Freddie i welled up!!!! I'm a soft lump. I think it might be becuase he is the 1st famous person i activly remember dying, or the 1st one to stick in my head.

My cousin (its about 4th cousin but for easy my cousin) Becki was obsessed with Queen and she's a couple of years younger than me so bearing in mind Freddied died in November 1991 when i was Ten so Becki would have been 7/8 you can see that even at a young age we were already heavily infulenced by our parents music sorry i digress. on the day freddie died |becky was distraught (think Bob leaving take that, if there had been a help line she'd have been 1st in the que) and her sister Jess who was about 4/5 at the time (maybe younger) went runing tound the house shouting the Queen was dead (as in Lizzie) becky was so upset!!! and that has always stuck in my mind. RIP Freddie You are missed xxxxxx


Our Hotel was fantastic, it was worth every Penny, the Bed , was sooooooooooo comfy, and decent pillows!!!


The Bathroom was fantastic as well, i know its a bit sad taking pics of stuff like this but well i had to!!!! giant bath and double size shower cubical i got my moneys worth i had 2 showers!!!!

And its a good job no-one got midnight munchies cos look at the in room bar tariff!!!!


The View out of the window, eve though we were pratically on top of picadilly station and the Mancunian way it was silent, no noise. so if you need a hotel in Manchester i would recomend the McDonald on London Road, 2 big thumbs up!!!! Ps if you go make sure you have a shower!!!!

And a Token Picture of me!!!!
Diet wise not the best weekends, we had a hot pork baguette with chips in a Weatherspoons, it came with stuffing and apple sauce, but my chips were cold so only had a few and the stuffing was that rank mass produced dry catering stuffing that isn't worth the effort to chew so that got scraped off!!! but i did have some mayo to helo with the taste of the chips!!!

then we had some wine (a lot of wine!) a big bottle of jacques each, then on the way home we called in Burger king, i got a cheese burger and a diet coke and my mum had a cheese burger and a coffee, we'd only just come out of BK and she dropped the coffee Ops (i wouldnt mind but it had cost £8 for 2 cheese burgers and 2 drinks!) we went back to the hotels and i made brews while my mum ate her burger, by the time i'd had a wee and brew'd up my mum was fast asleep!!! so i had one bite of my burger and then had to throw up a lot!!!! haha gross i know, i had had a lot to drink but i felt ok untill i had the burger. so i binned that and only had 3 sips of my D'coke!!! so what a waste of bloddy money and calories!!!!

then this morning we had weatherspoons traditional breakfast, they had no toast so saved some calories there. Then we went to More reasons to shop at Morrisons, and had fish n chips, but we skipped the bread and butter, and i only had a little bit of the batter and left loads of chips.

But saying i had fish n chips i've still been eating crap i've had a chocolate mousse and 2 cornbeef butties. crazy!!!!!

Therefore i am dreading WI tomorrow!!!! xxxxx

We will we will ROCK YOU!!!!!

I am really excited as tomorrow i'm off to see we will rock you!!! and staying over!

we're staying over at the McDonald hotel near piccadilly station, the hotel is expensive but it'll be worth it to round off the weekend, then i need to stay in for a few weekends. i wanted to go out next weekend for my b'day but i defo can't afford it paying for the hotel and i need to buy bloody travel insurance, gonna get an annual policy as going lithuania, poland and egypt this year.

i'm gonna stay in all june as well then once i get back from Poland i'll only have about 3 weeks til the wedding, which i need to buy a dress for!!!



This is my braclet now. not the best pic in the world! got 3 charms off my mum, 4 off my gran and one off a friend at work, so its almost full!!! which is great BUT it was kinda meant to be to record my weight loss. so i'm gonna still buy charms for my weight loss.

OMG Tom Hanks is really funny i hate to admit it but he seems like a really good guy!!!!! haha he just did the BIG RAP!!!! hahaha shhhhhhh please don't tell anyone i have just change my opinion of TH!!!!!! arrrrgggghhh OMG i'll be liking Tom Cruise next (HAHA no that will never happen or if it does please shot me down dead!!!)

Happy 28th Birthday to me

Its my birthday tomorrow, not sure if i'll be about to blog so thought i'd do a quicky now! But not sure what to write.

Another 12 months has passed and i'm still a chunk but as i have said a million times before (think i might be related to del boy i've said this so many times!) this time next year i'll be a millionaire .... oh no i will be thinner!!!! ideally by now i'd have liked to be in the 17s but we can't always have what we want. i'm just glad i'm 22lbs lighter than my heaviest recorded weight!

My gran got be 4 charms for my bracelet, which are lovelt and my mum got be 3. my bracelet is npw almost full!!! while i love this i did want this to be for my weightloss so i am contemplating buying a second bracelet to separate them out, what do you think?

i got my card and present from work today (birthday club, my work isn't so generous to honour birthdays!) i got a lovely card and a £14 New Look Voucher so that will be coming to Manchester with me on Saturday, but i might save it till i'm a bit thinner and put it towards some jeans in a smaller size?!

i also got a cheque for £50 from my other Gran and Grandad, so done quite well, not expecting anything off my mates as everyone is skint and we have this hen do in a couple of weeks time but a card or 2 may be nice not seen any of them for a couple of weeks properly.

I went to the Caravan in Skipton this weekend and i have walked my (not so) little legs off!!! i took my pedometer just to see how much walking i would do! i went for a 30 min walk on saturday morning but forgot to wear but but when i did put it on about 11AM (ish) until i went to bed it clocked up over 22,000 steps and said that that is = to 12 miles!!!!!! WOW really.

then today i've had it on and at the mo its showing 13797 steps or 6.72 miles!!!!! whit wooo

i'm hoping for a loss tomorrow.

i'm just loading skipton pics on to facebook as i type! was a nice weekend all in all had some cold moments but over all very pleasent and food was was pretty good just a small blip with fish and chips from bizzie lizzes and some larger on sat night but i had walked 12 miles so thats gotta make up for the badness!!! :D

I don't know

i thin k i may be in for another TOTM as i feel grotty and angry and irritable, i thought it was just tireness from working all day yesterday but i can't shake the feeling today.


i need to organise something for my b'day but i feel so not arsed about it, my b'day is always a let down, not had a good birthday for years. my birthday is too close to the bank holiday in may, and there are loads of peoples b'days around the same time.

i've said i want to go for a meal and have a night out but would prefer them to be on 2 seperate nights. one of my friends has suggested panama-hatties in manchester i've emailed my friends but not had a reply from any of them yet. so we will see. but i am loathed to organise something but cause people always cancel on me, i don't know if its just cos its me but every year we see to do more and more elaberate thibgs for peoples b'day then my b'day comes round and nada last year we went for a curry!!!! whit woo!!!

so we will see.


i went to see dancing on ice last thursday just trying to upload the pics to facebook!!!

it was really good but my mum had a bad reactionj to the smoke machines they use and had forgotten her inhalor we had to leave just as the 2nd half started so we didn't get to see the full show whihc i think we were all gutted about but the main thing is that she's feeling better.

it has really shaken me up. i phoned my dad in the interval to ask him to bring her an inhalor when he picked us up then when we came out i asked a |MEN yellow coat if they had any medics as she really frightened me. and i couldn't get hold of my dad he's not put the phone down so i kept getting voice mail and his mobbie was switched off, in the end i phoned my friends house who lives on my street and asked her dad to go to my house to get my dad to phone me, he must have thought i was a loon but i was so panicked i didn't know what else to do!!!

i keep having nightmares since!!! we're going to see we will rock u in may and i'm scared that the same thing might happen! we are planning to stay over i hope its just what the medic at the MEN said about the smoke over the ice causes a chemical reaction that can really affect some people!!!!

diet wise its been a good week, todays been the only bad day and its not really a bad bad day!!!

i really wan tto have lost 2.5lbs this week to get my 21lbs lost and a new charm for my bracelet. i bought it today. i know its a bit premature but i thought if i do get it i'll have to waitit til at least thursday to buy one!!! and true to my geeky nature i bought one called Twilight!!!!!! but it is lovely Black glass with white piping, i'll post a pic once i can officially add it to my bracelt my mums looking after it at the moment!!!! :D

1st day back at work

after 3 weeks off!!!! it was werid going back, somethings never change and somethings were better. But i am shattered and would like to say who ever numbered the streets of glasgow needs shooting!!! i had so many HEC calls wanting info on stuff in glasgow and they are all 1 1 xxx but some bright spark numbered half a street 1 1 xx 1/1 xx 1-1 xx!!! luckily half the hecs gave me MSNs but fingers crossed they all work out !!! haha sorry u haven't a clue what i'm on about

I work in the back office of a call centre but from now on, on a wednesday i will be working til 8pm which means i get to cover the phone lines from 5.30pm!!! lucky me!!! hehe we get internal calls and customer calls and now calls from the door to door sales agents who i must say have all been lovely, but to make sure they are signing up the correct people the ring us to check some info on the limited internet access we have!!!

but i am so tired now and i've only worked today this week!!! haha i'm off tomorrow and in friday and saturday!!! not worked a friday properly for nearlt 2 years. did work a couple of half day fridays when i nottingham but that was maily travelling so didn't count!!!

BUT tomorrow should be a good say, we've booked on a powerplate but think we're gonna cancel as we're off to see dancing on ice tomorrow night. and decided today we'd go down a bit earlier to have a look round and have some tea out! i'm looking forward to dancing on ice but scared of how high up we'll be sitting and need to find my camera!!!!!

The hen do of the year is becoming more complex.

one of my friends had decided we were gonna have a theme for travelling and its turned into chavsville! she had decided on velour Trackys, printed t-shirts sparkly trainers , grillz and shutter shades, which will all be funny if everyone joins in, but now half the people are pulling there faces and not happy to pay £30. i've stumped over the money, but don't want all that stuff if i doin't have too. plus we have to buy the tracky seperate. i got the tracky pants on monday from sainsburys but now i've kinda been told by the bride (whos not meant to know the theme) that she's gonna speak to the girl who's organising it and say t-shirts only, but i know that the shuttershades have already been bought!!!! well we will see, but now i can't find the recipt for these bloody velour trackys. i'll have to have a proper look for it tomorrow or at weekend, but knowing my look i'll rtn them and the theme will be back on!

also on the 1st night we're having a hollywood theme night all balck and white outfits, excpet i've also broke the rules and bought a black white and grey dress tis officially animal print, just spotted another dress on asda website that i love a one shoulder number!!! obviously wouldn't be allowed on the hen do as not black and white!!!! i hope i get away with my dress cos i love it!!!

Just looked at the image of my dress if i look half as nice as that model i'll be a happy bunny!!! thats if they let me play out that night!!! hehe but just to be on the safe side i'm only taking colourful stuff for the other days!!! hehe

still no idea what the weather will be like or what stuff we'll be doing!!!!!
