Just popping in to say hope you all have a great time at the mu. I am sitting here drowning my sorrows in a can of pepsi max and a mince pie. Waiting for mil to tell us when she wants collecting, apparently she is "not in a big rush" Angry fed up maybe I should do that Grin
Oh no hope you get your boiler sorted and can make it blair
Marsha love those boots and top, even more gutted i'm not coming now! please wear them to the next mu.

Longislandicetee · 12/11/2016 18:18

Can't believe I am the first one to leave the MU!!! That's never happened!Shock

Dh and I are off to a dinner party tonight so I had to cut it short. Had such a good time seeing Voguettes and meeting Everyone for the first time. Had a lovely conversation with her.Smile

All Voguettes looked lovely, absolutely lovely. Kitty's top was gorgeous, probably my favourite - barginous and gorgeous. Can't get better than that!

A few things i can remember...I loved Amber and Drys leather trousers, Shops hair is gorgeous (I managed to stay almost appropriate, even when lifting her top Wink), love Marsha's shoes and bag. Don't know where that top is from but was beautiful. Mara I am so envious, you suit print dresses so much. Have had some disastrous attempts at prints myself so love seeing them done well. Lib only saw you for 2 mins but just wanted to say those colours really suit you. Dream, not sure why but I really noticed your make up, it looked lovely. As did yours Shop*, love the dramatic eyes.

Given the rubbish weather, I was also amazed by how lovely everyone's hair looked - from the curls (Kitty) to the straight Topaz.

Was lovely to see Sleep and FedUp (love the dress and top respectively).

Blair you were missed - hope you have central heating and Justa hope you haven't throttled mil!

I am almost home. I wore J crew embroidered sweater with brown skinny cords, burberry coat, R&B Brown boots and my beloved mulberry Roxanne. Now changing into dinner party outfit of black Alexander McQueen dress, Aquazzura red shoes and MaxMara cashmere coat.

Have a fun evening all x

Stokey · 12/11/2016 18:52

I can't believe you're first too Blingy. Lol at lifting Shop's top.

Outfits sound great.

I'm about to go out to dinner. Think I'm going to wear black & red stripe top, pleather leggings & red KG heels (old). But just waiting for girls to get it of bath to finalise.

Look forward to reading the other updates tomorrow.

Topazwithpearls · 12/11/2016 19:25

Wrote a massive round-up and have just lost it- grrrr! Can't type it all again so will try to round up again tomorrow.

Everyone looked fabulous and it was a really enjoyable afternoon, well worth the journey.

Safe home everyone.

Drywhitethanks · 12/11/2016 19:44

I'm on my train!
I have found DH and we have upgraded not taking advantage of his intoxicated post rugby state at all!!

FAB MU with wonderful, stylish women I'm so proud to call my friends. Xxxx

Everyone looked fab....Blingy I didn't say goodbye Sad

Mara I love your bag, it's the icing on the cake for my birthday outfit. Xxx

Sleep I may have revealed too much about my guiltyNetglux/Amazon Prime habit!!!

Dreamqueen · 12/11/2016 19:59

I'm home now on the sofa in my pyjamas.

I had a very enjoyable afternoon. Lovely to meet Topaz, Sleep & Everyone for the first time.
Thank you for organising it Fedup * thank you MNV ladies for making me welcome.

shopafrolic · 12/11/2016 20:18

Dream I have soda envy. I am pissed on a train. Worst part was temporarily losing my purse. Funniest bit was Nogice trying to check out my tattoos and me not remembering where they were! So much fun. Very proud to call you lot my friends. I've gone past style updates now but loved Marsha's boots and Sleep'sdress and trying on Blingy's* ring and making it look cheap as per.

shopafrolic · 12/11/2016 20:18

How did that all go bold!?

libertydoddle · 12/11/2016 21:41

Amber and I are still outGrin Grin

But flagging or at least I am....

Topazwithpearls · 12/11/2016 21:54

Made it to my sofa too. Hard core Amber and Lib.

AdoraBell · 12/11/2016 22:26

😊 glad you've had such a lovely time.

Can't see now who has central heating problems but I hope it's fixed PDQ. We've just had a new boiler and tank fitted so no money for clothes for a while Sad. At least we are warm though.

libertydoddle · 12/11/2016 23:58

On way home...will attempt a round up...

Amber my last woman standing buddy!! You are a Star. Gorgeous, funny, smart and a bad ass
Marsha those boots boots are every kind of fab-u-lous, just like you!
shop thoroughly enjoyed our Space NK reccie! Love the hair colour.
Dry get you in first class. Where you belong my lovely. Looking fab in your leather leggings. Wish I could pull them off.
Dream only really got to hug you goodbye. Are those glasses your Tom Ford frames? They looked amazing.
Topaz you looked so chic! Great scarf, great coat (loved the red lining). So pleased I got to see you.
Fedup Flowers for arranging. Loved your blouse and your biker jacket. Hope we get to chat properly next time.
Blingy you looked great as always. I know you are stressed but it never shows. Perfect bling.
Everyone I am so glad I got to meet you. It must be daunting being the only newbie in such a big group but you fitted right in. Great skirt. Sorry I didn't get to say goodbye.

Kitty sorry we didn't get to chat. Loved your top and your hair. Xx
Mara great hair and your dress was perfect!

Am almost home....at least it's not raining now.

Longislandicetee · 13/11/2016 08:10

we got home at 1am. Such a great night - proper old fashioned dinner party. My head hurts and I have to be out of the door in 30 mins to spend time with 30 3 -6 year olds.😂 Lib look at you Miss Hardcore! Shop your post is so funny!

shopafrolic · 13/11/2016 09:18

Blimey - I think that might be my best drunk post in the history of MNV! Blush

FedupNagging · 13/11/2016 10:50

Woohoo big up to Amber and Lib for keeping going last night!

It was so lovely to see everyone yesterday and actually get to chat to everyone too; I had a great time.

So, will do a quick roundup:

Marsha I have boot lust, they're fab.
Shop and Amber loved your boots too! (& your new purchases)
Topaz you looked really good in your green jumper - also loved your new boots
Dream someone mentioned your makeup up thread and I agree, it looked lovely and great colour lipstick
Dry rocking the leather trousers and stacked bracelets look
Mara didn't get to mention it yesterday but lovely dress - the colour is perfect for you.
Sleep another gorgeous dress with biker boots. Wish I could do this look.
Blingy how fabulous is that ring? And how heavy was your bag Shock - you must have muscles of steel!
Lib I think I have a thing for boots as admired yours as well - same as Dry's and the necklace is so sweet
Kitty I don't think I noticed your boots but did really like your blouse
Everyone looked fab in the brown suede skirt and cream spot top - hope you enjoyed meeting us all!

Don't think I've missed anyone out.

It was such a shame that a few couldn't make it, you were all missed but hopefully we'll catch up soon.

MarshaBrady · 13/11/2016 12:27

Loved our MU, wonder how many that is now

Shop rocked the new hair, and looked awesome
Lib you looked gorgeous and glowing as per usual!
Sleep made me wish I'd worn a dress for a change, loved the Westwood
Blingy blang Grin in the most gorgeous new ring, which was beautiful
Kitty loved that top, really suited you
Dry great hair as per, and fab outfit, very chic
Amber loved the leather leggings and top, you looked incredible
Everyone really good to meet you, you looked ace, hope you liked it
Dream very cool in lovely glasses
Fedup very pretty blouse
Mara loved the print dress, must do a dress next time
Topaz you looked very chic too, fab hair

Me (and my boots and bag) got home fine, although argh at my bag slipping out the back of the seats, must not think about what if.. the kind person who found it and handed it back to me, thank god!

It was a wonderful day, really pleased we do this. Hope everyone had an ace time. Lib and Amber big kudos to you both for continuing, would loved to have stayed on with you, but maybe my head thanks me today

Everyonelovessparkles · 13/11/2016 15:35

I had a lovely time yesterday. It was great to meet you all and put faces to names. You were all so friendly and welcoming it wasn't too daunting at all.

I felt quite rough last night but not too bad this morning, though good job I left when I did!

Thanks to fedup for organising.

Topazandpearl · 13/11/2016 17:56

I really enjoyed our mu yesterday and so glad I made the journey.

Shop I agree that your hair is fab, looks so glossy and healthy. Your healthy lifestyle is clearly suiting you.
Sleep it was a lovely surprise to see you. I loved your dress (you have good taste in dresses; I remember a lovely Tartt dress at a previous mu).
Blingy, likewise, it was great that you could make it. Loved the bling, and your sparkly top. Loved hearing about the parties.
Lib I'm glad we overlapped and got to chat. Loved your outfit, especially your skirt. It was good to compare notes on relatives' care.
Kitty it was lovely to meet you. Loved your hair and top. Fabulous complexion. Dry and I were astounded when the birthday topic came up!
Dry, my fellow long-distance traveller. It was lovely to chat and to hear about party plans and outfits. You looked fab in the leather trousers.
Amber, lovely to meet you. Loved your top, also the Helen Moore faux fur. Definitely get the blue and black 'out-there' party dress. You will rock it!
Everyone it was lovely to meet you and to chat. Your sparkly top looked lovely on you. I remember at my first mu, feeling like I couldn't quite believe I had done that, but being really glad I did. I hope you felt the same.
Dream it was lovely to meet you too and to discover common links. Agree with the others, loved your outfit, make-up and glasses. You have a very stylish look.
Marsha, looking elegant as always! Loved your bag (spotted it being passed around) but missed the boots!
Mara it was lovely to see you again and glad things are going well. I like the slightly shorter hair length - but then, your hair always looks great.
Fedup you looked lovely, with great hair. Lovely to catch up and thank you for organising (great choice of venue btw).

I had a lie-in until about 9am this morning, and as I had eased up on the prosecco before I left, I have felt fine today. Just as well as I was involved in a charity event with DH today (which was a success). Between that and yesterday, I have had a lovely weekend, so thank you everyone!

Longislandicetee · 13/11/2016 18:11

Everyone glad you had a good time! We have all been the newbies at an MU and I still remember feeling scared stiff at our first MU.

I don't know how Amber does it, I am on my 3rd social thing of the weekend and am knackered! I am wearing white company cashmere swing sweater with black J crew toothpick jeans with my grey lowlands, black wool coat (John Lewis 4 years ago, love it) and black Gucci Jackie bag.

I am also wearing my new ring which dh doesn't likeGrin. For those not at the MU I popped into Old Bond Street on the way to the MU and bought an Alexander McQueen belt and a new ring. Dh only tends to like me in classic stuff so it's not his cup of tea. It looks like something out of a Christmas cracker but it's very pretty. ignores lurkers thinking yeah right

AmberNectarine · 13/11/2016 18:30

Evening all.

Phew, doing a big Sunday lunch for guests with a hangover is not the dream!

Super fun MU as ever yesterday - lovely to see you all. Finally fell into bed just after midnight having put the world to rights with Lib.

Won't reinvent the wheel with a round up, but suffice to say it was the same interesting, entertaining, life affirming afternoon it always is. Sorry to everyone I bored with my increasingly drunken witterings!

queenC, I kept looking around for you - it wasn't the same!

Dreamqueen · 13/11/2016 18:32

So annoying. I'd also wrote a long post but its disappeared & I'm too drunk to re write it! Basically thank you for welcoming ne to be a part of MNV. will write longer tomorrow when I sober up. 2 days out on high alcohol is obviously more than I can cope with, therefore thats why I'm typing rubbish,

libertydoddle · 13/11/2016 19:01

Grin at dream!!

kittyhello · 13/11/2016 19:46

Great afternoon yesterday everything has been said and won't repeat by doing a round up, lets just say there were great boots, bags, accessories, make up & jewellery all a go go at our table. Was lovely to meet you all again and great to meet the lovely Topaz and Everyone love how you got your name Every

Felt a bit hanging all day today, kudos to you Blingy for going out again in the evening.

Queen Stokey Linus and Blair you were sorely missed, would really love to meet Bernice One Viva Happy and anyone else on this thread at the next one.

Shop love your post up thread Grin

Fedup thanks for organising Flowers

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 13/11/2016 20:07

kitty hopefully i will make the next one, it just hasn't worked out with timings etc for me to make the recent ones but with my move being done mid january, well, i'll be available more often.

it sounds like you all had a fab time which is lovely.

Feeling slightly grumpy because my birthday falls right in the week that i'll be moving so there won't really be a chance to celebrate it properly but Dp has promised that we will have a double birthday/moving celebration at the end of that month so fingers crossed he remembers saying that when the time comes!

QueenCobalt · 13/11/2016 20:28

Hello all Smile. Hope the heads are ok!! Sounds like you all had a fab time and I'm glad I was missed Grin.

I had a lovely weekend up north (near your neck of the woods I think dry) but after a 4 hour journey home listenening t kids squabble in the car I'm knackered so off to bed shortly.
