A day at the beach and here are my conclusions

[lumbago]

oh FOR GODS SAKE just take your bloody shorts/t shirt/burka whatever OFF

all sorts of ages and sizes of women were there lookign NICE - the ones who looked stupid were the ones hobbling to the sea in DRESSES ( oh yes and not religious based affairs)
really we are our own worst enemies

Oh and sequin bikinis make me feel hot just LOOKING at them. ANd get a cup that fits - no need for underboob

and lastly FRIGGING maxi sundresses sheesh ENOUGHT already

Blimey.

Caught a little too much sun there?

What should we wear that doesn't offend you then?

I'm always grumpy after a long hot day on the beach too - have a nice cold and relax.

wear a bikini
or a swimsuit. I wanted to RUN to the teenagers adn say "no no no you are lovely stop wearing silly shorts in the sea"

older mum in VAIR nice one piece - strapless plain black with a cream band along the very top and a bow at the back.

floppy hat

and also a sporty type mum in cool orange number

No way am I wearing a bikini or swimsuit on the beach , so you will have to avoid looking at me

oh thats such a shame.

I wear shorts in the sea because I have a fear of sunburnt arse.

you burn in the SEA?

What a strange thing to stress about lumbago.

I only have a paddle , no need for me to strip off and scare the horses

Oh yes - DH got a burnt back after swimming in the sea even though he had a T-shirt on. The way the light reflects off the waves can actually make it easier to burn in the sea apparently.

im not really stressing.
im ranting mumsnet style. In real life I am cross legged huming AUMMMMM.

CHrist people on here get animated about sodding mother and child parking

Bloody hell, didn't you sleep well last night?

I would much rather be comfortable and confident in a pair of shorts and bikini top, than feel uncomfortable in a bikini. Especially if I know judgemental people like your good self are sitting there making comments in your head.

I burn anywhere....

I swim on the sea. Arse up...

haha
as if eveyrone else is judgement free

OK then next time I pop down to the local beach I shall slip into a nice little bikini for you and then you can admire my size 26 frame in all its glory!!!

Seriously Lumbago get a grip and enjoy your time at the beach!

I suspect some beach goers thought you looked a complete state as well seeing as you appear to have spent the whole day sat on the beach in your judgey pants.

people go into the sea and swim with a dress on? I've never seen that but it wouldn't bother me tbh. I think you'd best get out the incense sticks and your peace and love mode will drift back lumbago.

i did enjoy myself - who said I didnt.
I just REALLY beleive women should get it out so people like you arent stressed about size 26 bodies.
LIFE IS TOO SHORT

get what out lumbago?

women do it to themselves. In spain they are ALL in bikinis and walking around proudly - not crawling to the waters edge,

At the rate we are going only about 2 peopel in 10000 would wear swimwear.
bloody hell - get it out! be out and proud!

I could never enjoy myself on the beach if I had to worry about slapping a bottle of suncream on every couple of hours. A long dress/skirt is perfect and cool. But thanks for the fashion advice anyway.

People should wear what they feel comfortable in

IM making a stand for us to NOT be ashamed of our bodies.
to WEAR what we want to , not be brow beaten into covering up if we arent a size 8.
