I've been away doing charity work for the past few months and I've just arrived home to a raptuous greeting.

The pub is holding a party this evening to welcome me home.

Which dress should I wear?

OK. How about traditional Japanese kimono? That's more modest.

I like this, but I'm unsure how to accessorise it, and I need a head covering that much is obvious.

Love the kimono, would traditional Kanzashi work?

I've had a few drinks and just dropped my phone.

I think I can fix it.

I must have messed with the filters.

Back to normal.

How do I look?

Night night Maud.
It's been a lovely evening.

I look forward to seeing what you get togged up in tomorrow! A suggestion?

I’m not from round these parts, but you have brightened my evening… thank you

MyOtherProfile · 16/09/2025 22:39

Looks like you had a wonderful evening Maud.

MaudfromtheBluestocking · 16/09/2025 23:04

<stretches>

Water I need water!

I will definitely try those on in the morning. @TemporarilyCantDoMyself

@FranklyIgiveadamn it's my first foray in to style and Beauty and I have found everyone very helpful, although some suggestions were definitely not my style!

@MyOtherProfile it had been a wonderful evening, although I fear I may have had a smidgen too much to drink.

I've got my second wind now and could demolish a kebab, but my minders have vetoed that idea.

Quite right too @MaudfromtheBluestocking you don't want to get kebab sauce down those nice pyjamas.

Good point. Wouldn't want to ruin a perfectly good pair of Snoopy pyjamas!

I suspect I drank a teeny tiny too much red wine last night.

It may take a while before I can summon up the energy to try on those last couple of outfits.

Morning Your Maudness!
You did indeed over-imbibe, but you were very entertaining both before and after alcohol was taken, so worry not.
Get that excellent breakfast down you and seven or eight cups of English Breakfast tea and you'll be reet.

TemporarilyCantDoMyself · 17/09/2025 10:43

Although the beans and the tomatoes, whilst both nice on their own, shouldn't be inhabiting the same plate or served at the same meal! 😱🤮

TemporarilyCantDoMyself · 17/09/2025 10:45

Remove the beans and replace with a nicely fried onion and a couple grilled mushrooms, big'uns.

Arregaithel · 17/09/2025 10:46

You poor thing, I think many of us can empathise.

In case your fry up is too much of a struggle, these may give relief

MaudfromtheBluestocking · 17/09/2025 11:13

I've medicated, eaten and showered.

But the banging in my head remains.

I'll just have another cup of tea then contemplate trying on some new outfits.
