Does anyone else just stay in their pajamas if you're not going out

Lucretzia I'm sorry I used the words slobbing around - I'm sure you look better in your pjs than I do.
Anyway, I did manage to cut my hair and get showered before lunch.

And - if anyone's interested (which I'm sure you're not!) my hair is all choppy and not at all level at the back.
How do people cut their own hair?

Having an invisible condition I feel defensive sometimes and I wouldn't like to be told I've a lack of self respect. But I think a lot of people agreed that its nice to wear pjs Lucretzia.

I know people who won't wear jeans. I love them. I've got about ten pairs different styles.

If I wear makeup it's to make me feel better by looking better. Nothing wrong with that (if it works .

Somebody posted that it was silly for older women to wear make up and assumed it was for other people. In my case it is for myself. I feel better with eye makeup and lipstick on.
I don’t consider myself silly. Well not about that anyway

If we all stay in pjs all day, we may as well all be in Mao Tse-tung uniforms! That's probably what lockdowns are ultimately aiming to achieve by long term conditioning. Old lover boy, Neil Fergusson, got his lockdown ideas from China in the first place.

That post is so ludicrous as to actually make me laugh

No, definitely not.

Too cold to go out and feed sheep in my pjs! I had to climb over a frosty metal hurdle early this morning so pup could have a wee - that taught me the value of clothing round ones nethers

I do get dressed everyday, but it is getting later and later and yesterday, first time ever I stayed in my sleep t-shirt and dressing gown until midday. I work from home so no-one sees me. In the summer it is different. When I do get dressed it is 'sloppy wear' and if I go to put my 'normal' clothes on - strangely they feel tight. Oh I'll start the sensible eating plan in a couple of weeks.

Having very little in the way of self discipline I have somehow managed to stick with my resolve at the beginning of this to get up, shower, wash hair, do exercises and apply some make up. After that burst of good behaviour it all goes downhill as I can't face getting properly dressed just to be at home, so very casual (scruffy) stuff is the daily wear. I'm looking forward to dressing up and putting some scent on - when we are free!

I realise I’m lucky being able to do such things. My husband has stage 4 cancer and on chemo so I grasp at normality for me.

No way! I very much keep to “normal” routine. Up at 6am, breakfast, shower, go out with dogs, do breakfast things etc. I like to have a plan and to achieve something each day.

FannyCornforth Um... yes, now I see how that read! ?
Ok... DH minus a bra, unless his hairy chest is letting him down holding his nips up!??

Don’t wear PJs but a nightdress so can’t imagine wearing it all day what if the postman or delivery person called I’d be so embarrassed. But I do wear comfortable jumpers and maxi skirts and socks around the house and sometimes just put my long hair in a low ponytail instead of styling it with flower clips or twisted front braids etc.

AliceJane I'm with you!
I have MS and find the whole getting dressed thing difficult too, so when I'm not going anywhere I'll quite happily stay in my pj's, there not a lot of point in tiring myself out with all that effort only to have to do the reverse again later.
So no, you stay in your pj's if its easier, I do xx

Twinlollies delighted to see that the hubster has foregone his brassier!

Like Willow500, we sleep naked. Being naturists (please don't judge or criticise) we are comfortable in my own skins during the day. (Hygiene? towels or sarongs on seats)

Now that it is winter and a bit cold inside - we invested in onesies. It takes a while before the fireplace warms the house in the morning here in France.

Braless and in a onesie all day - absolutely fab. DH the same. If I go outside to feed the birds - who cares if the neighbours see me!

I like to be up and showered by 9.00 then a walk. I always wear the same thing,loose joggers top and warm sweater ankle boots or trainers.I have this uniform in several colours. Unfortunately, by wearing the loose pants through lockdown I no longer fit any of my nice trousers .

I might buy some eye makeup for the day I have my jab.

No. Now I'm working from home, I don't rush to dress in the morning but am always dressed by 10am. I find that keeping some sort of a routine helps my mental health. I then look forward to putting my dressing gown on a the end of the day.

I’m so sorry if I upset you Lucretzia, I honestly didn’t mean to, I was just commenting on how this post has revealed how different we all are. I didn’t know about your chronic pain, I meant it only in the sense of how we all have different preferences, and how interesting it is to hear about what other people do, I didn’t think I was being judgemental but if that’s how you read it I apologise.

Willow500 I am not judging or trying to be offensive.

Genuine curiosity. If you sleep naked and without make up when presumably your husband sees you why do you put make up on during the day if only your husband sees you?
and does he notice.

Lucretzia chronic pain is very difficult and depressing to live with. We need to think before we say things, or even think them.

Oh, how utterly lovely of you, nadateturbe

Thank you so much.

I was almost in tears before, which is most unlike me.

Thank you again

I was brought up to wash/shower and dress as soon as I got up in the morning. I feel really uncomfortable if I remain in my nightie and dressing gown for very long. I can hear my mother's voice saying "why aren't you dressed?"
I don't like pyjamas, I think it's the way the trousers wrap around my legs in bed.
