We-ell - it started off badly as my dear,
dear friend

hadn't told us it was formal!!!

I looked fine but DH had come from work and as a rule doesn't tend to wear a tux to the office!!!

So he was smartly suited but not smartly enough! He is a roll-with-it kinda guy and didn't really care too much but I, being an uptight, uptempo woman, was a bit freaked for a while... The champagne helped mellow my mood, however, and I stopped being furious after my second glass... We sat at a large table of boring building surveyors but fortunately the talk turned to property pretty quickly and I love that so all-in-all not too bad... Food was v poor tho' and I hardly ate a thing which explains why I feel so shocking today - the white wine I drank wasn't being soaked up by anything...

It's a basic booze mistake and I'm paying today...
