Hi everyone,

OH MY GOD what a day!!!! It has just been crazy. And not because of work this time just because of me and my bad luck!!!

You may well all laugh at my story to come but to me it was quite traumatic.... just remember that before teasing me about this...

Ok so... I have been feeling a bit down recently about lack of motivation to diet and general hormones. So I thought I would cheer myself up with a hair cut and a fake tan. I have Kate's wedding this weekend so thought it may make myself feel better about myself...

So, let's start with hair cut. (see photo)

I asked to keep the length... I shall say no more.

Then my tan... So I turned up, after having sunshine in Leam all day, in a vest top and left my umbrella in the car. Had my tan and it looked fab! Then left the building and as I did the heavens opened and RAINED ALL OVER MY TAN!!!! So ended up looking like a f***ing spotty dog! Traffic was horrendous so was swearing the whole way home wandering how long it takes for tan to soak in.... got home EVENTUALLY and phoned the tan place to ask if I could just rub it in? They said no and to wash it off straight away or it would streak. So I got in the shower and scrubbed with my special exfoliating gloves... I now have perfectly soft, smooth skin, lovely short hair and am £20 broker (not sure broker is a word but I don't care anymore to be honest).

I would have cried but I just thought maybe rain was a sign from someone 'up there' as a gift because maybe my tan would have looked awful...

Lesson learnt:

Never tan or try tanning again (always disasterous on me...)

Be patient and let my hair grow - even through the awful hair days time

Be happy in my own skin, pale and interesting!

Well there you have it, I am sure everyone at work will find my story hilarious... I don't yet but am sure I will in time! Off out to dinner with my gorgeous fiance now as I need a large glass of wine and he deserves a treat for putting up with me!!!

Hugs, gemma xxxxxx

P.S Here is my outfit for Kate's wedding, hopefully will look even better when I do my hair and make up really nice? Also I have my green top that I showed you in previous blogs that I may wear... not really definitely decided yet... decisions decisions!
