Holy crap I won something.

O_O

a boudoir shoot.

a total shot in the dark, I've been entering competitions for 5 months, dabbled with the idea of doing one as a surprise for the boy and DAM! i didn't think I'd get get it!! Not one to be totally comfortable in my skin but also I know my OH likes the way I look ... jesus christ, where do you begin to get the confidence for one of these things? I know what you girls will say ' if you weren't up for it why enter?' well because anonymity is DANGEROUS! Entered so many competitions now its like white noise, so it goes:

"clickedy click, enter comp, probably hear nothing of it, now what? oh wonder what internet memes are on tumblr dash? OH! funny kitty vids on youtube! return deviantart messages. Is that the time? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"

and here I am a month later staring at my inbox in a state of shock and awe. Am I gonna do it? HELL YES. OH will flip when he sees them! but a problem emerges .... how do I explain a trip to London? I'd bad at secrets? He'll wanna come, London has the biggest forbidden planet in the UK! My mother maybe be of little help though for a liberal lady, she'll cringe at the idea of it.

    Well done!

    I'm so envious, I'd love a boudoir shoot but just can't budget for one.

    Think I need to up my competition entering!

    I bought one off Groupon for a place in London - all booked in for July. The thing I'm most nervous about is actually choosing a photo as the thing I bought includes 1 photo and I can't afford to buy any additional ones as they are £99 each. I'm worried they'll try and pressure me into buying more but I will stand my ground as I honestly can't justify £99 for 1 photo. Just gonna be hard to see lets say 20 different photos in different outfits etc and only choose 1 and also try to think which one OH will love the most.

    Wished I'd kept my mouth shut. I mention winning this to my mum and she just laughed at me, made jokes 'saying how did you win? your not a stunner' ... great.

    OMG sorry but that's a terrible thing to say to you! Wait til you have the photos then you can say "I actually am a stunner thank you!" (not implying you need professional photos to show that by the way!)

    Perhaps! She like Mrs Brown sometimes (which she hates me saying to her, to which i reply 'thats nice') I normally have a good rappor with her but this is just 'ones of those' times.
