Use a gym if you signed to one.
You can do biscep and triscep curls either with gym equipment or using dumb bells if you have some. These are probably the best things to do
In the gym you cant always tell yourself 'right, im going to stay for an hour tonight' then stick to it but when at home its easy to think 'well i'll just watch this tv show then i'll do some arm curls' but it never works out that way.
like how many reps how many times?
Start off doing something like 3 sets of 10 reps... depending on what weights you are using and your current ability. If the weights are lighter you can do more and make the reps quicker. Don't do your reps till failure on the first couple of sets.
Also try some press ups etc...

got some weights with a excercise chart. did some last night and my arms are not too bad today ache wise. how often should i do it and when should i see a difference. mind i dont want bulky muscles although im sure they would compliment my wedding dress just want toning
cheers
should i do it every day or two days on and a day off or what? any advice?
For a beginner don't stress yourself, just do them once every 3 days, then as you progress once every 2 days. Making sure you arn't sore, as doing weights 2 days in a row can porve to be worse for you as you are not letting the muscle tissue heal.
