Woolly jumpers and cords - what more do I need? My legs aren't as hairy as they once were, but no-one can see them anyway. Just be yourself, phoenix.

My hair is really awful, though.

I need tips on DIY from Nicola Sturgeon.

So pleased to read this, thought it was just me!!

Now, if I could just feel motivated to shave my legs, currently I might pass for a hobbit.
Just wear trousers all the time.

That's a great phrase.
I feel the same, by the way.

Think of the time you are saving not bothering, Phoenix.

I think it's very freeing, I heard trinny or susannah bollocking on the other day about how no woman should wear joggers and I just felt really glad that that kind of thing wasnt taking up my headspace.

The situation we’re in has made me realise just how few clothes I really need.

Esspee Wed 28-Oct-20 22:45:12

You're clean, clothed, fed and comfortable? What's the problem?

Phoenix I work from home and there are some days I get up, have a shower and then work all day in scruffy leggings and sweatshirt, no bra. I long since gave up on makeup, in fact, it's been so long since I used it, I'm not sure I could properly apply it now. I'm firmly in the CBA range.

Oh thank you all! I feel so much better already! smile

Oh - my nails are better since I stopped wearing nail varnish smile

Look at the positives phoenix

It does your skin good to go without makeup.
I'm wearing all my old clothes then I'll throw them out later.
I'm saving money not buying clothes or makeup.
My hair is shocking since I took the scissors to it the other day, but, looking on the bright side, I saved £45.

I really need new specs though.

Just go with it. It will,pass I’m sure and is quite possibly a Covid effect. Showered is good !!

EllanVannin Wed 28-Oct-20 22:37:58

You and me too phoenix.

Galaxy Wed 28-Oct-20 22:37:32

Does it matter. I spent today in shorts, baggy top and giant rabbit slippers.

Evening all, having a bit of wobble!

I seem to be (to borrow the phrase) "going gentle into that long dark night", in that I really CBA with make up, clothes (well, of course I wear them, after all I wouldn't want to frighten anybody!) and of course I shower every day, but other than that, well, neh!

So, what can I do to help me "rage, rage against the dying of the light"

Please bear in mind the CBA thing mentioned above.
