Doing it for DWED!

Flip I was hoping that I was the only one who knew that bit of legislation🙄

Oh Alan - my sides are splitting! IF you ever need to be bailed out....

Everyone seems to find this running as the Diabetes Fairy very amusing, but I'll have you know it's a very serious business! If I complete the race with my wand intact then I will automatically be inducted into the Guild of Fleet Fairies, with a special badge and certificate!

Thanks for the extra donation Lucy 🙂

Dont forget the makeup too Alan.
Make up can be very expensive so if you want us to club together and send you some of our 'mistakes' eer sorry nice makeup I am sure we could all do that - couldn't we folks?

I have some lovely pink eyeshadow you would like!

Dont forget to do your nails too!🙂

A fairy should always strive to look her best!🙂

Lucy, I wouldn't even know where to start with putting make-up and nail-varnish on and I doubt I will get my own dressing room and make-up artist at the start, amongst the other 10,000 runners! It did cross my mind and I had a brief look at stage make-up on amazon, but I think that, logistically, things will be difficult enough at the start. Anyway, with my fresh, natural complexion and superb bone structure I am sure I will be fine without extra embellishment 😉

Nice try Alan - but whats wrong with putting it on before you leave for the race!!! You need to get more in touch with your feminine side to be a really good fairy!

 

[AJLang]

Don't you worry Alan Lucy and I will guide you about everything you need to know.

All good fairies wear sparkly pink nail varnish - and you could put that on the day before. I'm sure that I could also find you some lovely blue eyeliner to highlight your eyes (works if you have blue or brown eyes). Beginning to wish that I could get to Bath to watch you run.

Don't forget that you said that you would show us you wearing the outfit when you achieved your next target!! (just in case you'd forgotten)

....and that is not too far away at all now - anyone else going to sponsor Alan so we can all get a peep!

 

[Northerner]

Haha! Don't twist my words Amanda - I said I would give a 'sneak preview' of the outfit - I didn't say I would be wearing it! 😉

I knew I should have gone for the lumberjack outfit! 🙂

Alan!!! Would you like me to give the newspapers and tv a call?

 

[AJLang]

Lucy we are going to find ourselves the first people thrown off of the forum!!! Northerner please, please, pretty please don't ban us from the forum

Don't worry, I think a more appropriate punishment would be for you both to be next in line to run as the Diabetes Fairy in a half marathon! 😉

 

[AJLang]

ha ha Sorry but got a dodgy hip so I can't run otherwise I would love to (NOT!!!) I'll ask Susie if she wants to dress up as a fairy and run the half marathon

 

[AJLang]

I asked Susie......she put her paws over her ears and muttered "sausages"🙄

Probably trying to block out the horror of the picture of me in that costume, poor wee soul - sorry Susie! 🙂

I just took you up to 90% of your target Alan 🙂 paid this morning, donation by lunch time!

Just a nudge to those that were waiting for pay day...I know this thread has been hidden the past few days - I nearly forgot!

Good luck Alan!

just bumping this up because there is only ?15 to go before the sneak preview

Oh Alan - you made me laugh with the running tights because I do know exactly what you mean - I am always embarassed when I wear mine with my tree trunks but have to say they look a damn sight better than hubby would look in them. He still runs in running joggers or shorts - the tights would just be too much with his slim legs!!

Well, at the time I weighed 8st wet through, am now over 11st! 😱
