You don't always have to wear a bra.

You can change into your pjs, nightie, dressing gown at tea time.

You can talk to yourself without receiving funny looks from strangers.

You can get a cup of tea or coffee just the way you like it.

You have space to just be......

Christinefrance Wed 01-Feb-17 17:24:59

You can have a conversation with your dogs without getting funny looks
You can flop on the sofa with a book and ignore the world
You feel safe
You can eat a crisp sandwich without getting disapproving looks smile

kittylester Wed 01-Feb-17 17:28:26

All of the above. I think it being a place where you feel secure and loved is paramount.

And being able to take your bra off!! grin

kittylester Wed 01-Feb-17 17:29:17

Good thread vq. brew obviously, just as you like it!!

KatyK Wed 01-Feb-17 17:33:03

You can take your make up off and DH doesn't look scared!

ninathenana Wed 01-Feb-17 17:58:26

You can wear that bleach stained top that's so comfy.
You can choose the menu.
You don't have to worry about a bad hair day.
Most important as others have said. Where you feel warm and safe.

I like this thread too vq and would agree with all the posts, especially taking the bra off and changing into PJ's at tea time. Heaven.

Where you can steep in the bath until you are crinkled and (in my case) go to the loo (I hate using public or anyone else's toilet).

TriciaF Wed 01-Feb-17 18:10:33

Where everybody knows your name!

My home town, where I grew up. But they probably don't remember me now. It's still a lovely place.

Judthepud2 Wed 01-Feb-17 18:10:59

You can hunker down when things are unpleasant.

You can doze off on the sofa in front of the wood burner

In my case, you can negotiate DH's mess.

gillybob Wed 01-Feb-17 18:11:13

oooops didn't mean go to the loo in the bath... blush

gillybob Wed 01-Feb-17 18:15:20

Love it TriciaF smile

That line that says "and your husband wants to be a girl....." is a bit weird though isn't it?

Home is where the heart is.

Its where you can close the front door against the rest of the world.

Its where your family come to raid the fridge and cake box!

vampire the removal of the holder uppers is such a lovely pleasure that often goes with a little sigh.
I can remove mine without taking my top offgrin

rubysong Wed 01-Feb-17 19:36:43

You can put your feet on the coffee table. (I have a cushion I put on the coffee table for this purpose, so feet aren't directly on the table.)

Lona Wed 01-Feb-17 19:38:56

Exactly that vampire, love it ?

GillT57 Wed 01-Feb-17 19:45:19

where I can yawn loudly, sit with a cat on my lap and a dog at my feet, and a book in my hand. comfy slippers and no make up. And burp blush should the need arise......

downtoearth Wed 01-Feb-17 19:48:34

Have put on pj's after walking dog bra removed ..instant face lift ,the weight of those bad boys pulls wrinkles out of my face.....cosy slipper boots and a cuppa and corrie

MissAdventure Wed 01-Feb-17 19:57:18

You can eat in bed, you can have a good old singsong, you can turn the tv up so you can hear all the dialogue, you can throw extra cushions on the floor..

wot Wed 01-Feb-17 20:20:55

The housework is.

MiniMouse Wed 01-Feb-17 20:27:41

Where the Cat's Servants live ?

BBbevan Wed 01-Feb-17 20:42:09

Where you can eat left over trifle for breakfast and nobody disapproves.

Greyduster Wed 01-Feb-17 20:44:14

All of the above! grin

rosesarered Wed 01-Feb-17 20:51:35

grin oh yes, the taking off the bra thing, great isn't it?
Home is the only place you can have a fried fish finger butty and actually lick your fingers afterwards.
Home is complete safety ( pull up the drawbridge) and relax.

Chewbacca Thu 02-Feb-17 00:03:25

Home is the only place you want when you aren't feeling well.
Home is being able to get up in the middle of the night and make a cup of tea if you want to.
Home is being able to play your favourite tracks on a cd on a loop if you want to

Home is where little people make messes for their masters GPs to sort.
