?????

I decided to go sunbathe. shocking really as I am so freckly I normally avoid the sun, but I felt like trying (yet again) to get some type of colour seeing as I have actually become daring and bought myself a dress.

DH came out to join me and first of all sat next to me to have a chat.

cue him covering his eyes and squealing like a stuck pig over the glow.

"what glow" says me, all innocent.

"the glow of you" says he, all evil cackle like.

I am now sat inside sulking........I KNOW I am white, but I was there thinking I had quite nice creamy white skin (and since I have lst weight my belly is looking rather fab or so I thought (rather vainly).

I do not like being likened to a glow worm and it being insinuated that people could lie near me and not need a torch at night......

he is mean!!!!

Divorce him, he is clearly playing mind games with you.
And clearly abnormal, any other man would offer to put sun cream on you

I thought so too...

especially as all the children are playing out the front/at friends/on scout camp.

he does not realise what he is missing out on....

mrsmattie, tried that once. I looked very unatural........seriously, I am so pale that anything other than a faint glow (which I have only got when I am pregnant) looks most strange.

last time DH kept joking "you've been tango'd. t'was not amusing aftere all his mates sung it too me at the wedding that was the reason for me to try the tan.....

well....I still reckon he only went out with me as my glow showed up his deep tan........he was then 19 and very toned.

shame really that only the tan is still there.....but would I say something cutting......

do you know the irony of your comment kimi????

DH is a builder, he is deeply tanned (he also has the skin tone anyway as we have the proof in three of our children), but when he forgets to shave his stubble is ginger and so his nickname is ginge!!!!

I have ginger skin-tone tho, thanks to my dad who is very ginger (as are my brothers)......and the worst thing, they all tan... I with the brunette hair (well, now dyed blond), go a paler shade of white (or red if I forget the sunspray)

only problem is that the boys tend to use his stuff in the shower at times ((they like to smell like men)), would not be a good look......
