Slipping into slobbishness

I shall leave off my bra today after reading this. So much more comfortable.

Hair due to be cut this week. Don’t know whether to try cutting it myself or let it grow. I’ve never had long hair. Quit3 fancy it.

Mum who died this year at 101 spent her last few years home bound living on her own.

Every day she showered, “tiddled up” her hair, dressed in her decent clothes, and jewellery. No make up but was was assiduous about skin care every day.

This lasted until she became bed bound a few months before she died, but even then every day scrupulous about washing, and smelling “nice”

I am still making an effort to be dressed by 9am.

No hairdresser visits for the foreseeable though. My hair was due for highlights last Friday, but in the scheme of things it is not so important. It will be quite long by the end of June.

My partner is bald so he doesn't have that problem

Unfortunately softies are well soft and don't alert me to humungous weight gain.

I’m enjoying sitting around in my softies every day, no make up, no perfume, no fuss.

Jane10 you might become like Pig-Pen in the Peanuts cartoons!

I always remember my dear Mum each morning brushing her hair, putting on a dusting of Cyclax face powder, some Bourjois blusher from a little round cardboard box and finally her lipstick. She wanted to look her best. So I am following the family tradition and I feel better for it.

Curly, my boobs are not attractive when braless. My grandson doesn't care so neither do I.

Am loving not wearing makeup for a change, usually wear it everyday. Also not washing hair every other day, washing it every 3rd day instead. But am still getting showered and dressed every morning, couldn't bare to stay all day in nightie/jimjams. Still putting perfume on too, my one indulgence. Unfortunately I have to wear the dreaded bra, boobs look dreadful without! Pity.

My plan is to avoid ablutions for several days then, when I'm really rancid, I'll have a lovely shower and wash my hair and it'll feel great. I'll feel the benefit as old ladies used to say.

I have always dressed as soon as morning ablutions were completed. I just felt like it was my personal statement of self-respect. In the last week, I have stayed in my nighties all day. Tooth brushing and a quick combing of hair was the extent of my efforts. I tell myself tomorrow I will return to normalcy, but I have not got much motivation.
This thread has caused me to set out tomorrow's clothes. Excalibur....I will succeed. ???

I usually have a shower every morning.......not any more......not going anywhere, no one visiting and when they do they are 10 feet away. This has told me that I could easily slip into 'slobbish' behaviour and I seriously wondered this was a sign of things to come ?

CBA to shower much (relieved because I've read showering less is kinder to the skin) and washing hair less. I do top and tail scrupulously though! I used to wear eye makeup every day but now I wear less and less, certainly not indoors. Wearing scruffy gardening clothes much of the time. However, when I do shower, wash my hair, apply moisturiser and lotion and a bit of scent, I remember how good it feels and how much more cheerful I feel.

No. I shower, dress and put on makeup every morning, but as I have lived by myself for years it's what I do. I do it for me, not for others.

As a male follower may I say what enchanting prospects are conjured up by some of the posts on this thread?

My own contribution is my regret that for the foreseeable future I shall have no reason to wear a tie.

I’ve joined the bra-free brigade too - such liberation! It would take very little for me to slide into slobbishness, so I’m determined to get properly dressed each day, and not just slip into a pair of fleece pyjamas, tempting as that is . And I usually do my hair, but I rarely bother with makeup anyway, so that’s a freedom I already have.

But oh the joy of escaping the tyranny of the bra! I may never go back to them. Or at least, not in the winter - I may change my mind when I’m wearing flimsy t-shirts

I'm still showering and dressing regularly but I left my teeth out when DD phoned

I wonder when we come out of purdah, if kids in the street will gawp and run away. They won't have seen old people for a long time.

Haha Maw didn't think of THAT garden.

I had to make an effort today for family waving through the window (we speak on the phone at the same time - so I'm calling it window Skype, a new trend).

Usually, though, I've taken to living in fluffy PJs and only getting dressed (well,changing the PJ bottoms for joggers) to walk the dog.

I do have standards, though, washing and combing hair. I shamefully admit that I wash my hair less often as it's mostly hidden under a beanie hat in public anyway!

I think we're all going to end up with boobs down to our knees after this!

Merlot - but what a relief!

Slobbishness is all very well until somebody FaceTimes you. ????

Monday to Friday my "rule" was that I get dressed by 9am
Now with forced incarceration I still am doing this but the bra isn't happening .
Ummm how long can I go with out a bra and that the bra still fits eventually lol

A day of slobbery is fine but it gets me down after that and I need to get dressed. I’ve never liked being in pj’s, I always dress as soon as I’m up in the morning.

My girls love their pj’s - I think they’ve as many pairs as they have of workwear.

Whereas the other day my sis-in-law phoned me just as I had emerged from the shower, PJs on, hair under a towel etc., etc.

She, on the other hand, was all glammed up.

-lipstick 'n all today and perfume too. I don't feel human otherwise. All dressed up and nowhere to go
I'd never sit around in my nightwear it'd feel like a self-induced illness.
If I'm going to die, I'll die with my boots on as the saying goes.
