How many of you stay in your PJ's for the day?

Sometimes i do, but its not usually my style smile

Granless Fri 29-Jan-21 11:29:11

No! Get up 7pm .. drink cup of warm water .. watch the news .. shower at 9am .. choose which earrings to wear ? .. breakfast at 9:30am .. the rest of the day is mine to choose. If I stayed in PJs, I’d still have to change to go for my daily walk. My PJs are actually a nightie.

Definitely Doodledog. ?
I don’t often do it, but if I do it’s shower before bed and clean pjs.

GrammarGrandma Fri 29-Jan-21 11:44:48

No. I get up and shower or bath and get dressed every day. Even today when I have been awake since 3.15am.

Theoddbird Fri 29-Jan-21 11:45:02

Goodness me no. I get up have breakfast and shower and get dressed. Why put night clothes back on after a shower?

I’m working through my wardrobe at the moment wearing everything in rotation before laundering. Things that I won’t wear again are being laundered and packed up to go to the charity shop when they start taking items again.

Right now I am wearing a rather sexy jersey crossover number. When the postman rang the bell with a parcel on Tuesday I was wearing a lovely evening dress. He smiled broadly. I said I was dressing up to put the bin out. The highlight of the week. ?

Never, I have to go and feed the ponies in a morning so it's not an option. I do put them on really early in the evening in winter though.

Well said Daddima and Doodledog- its nothing to do with 'standards', (what snobs that makes some of you sound)-if I've had a day relaxing a bit in one of my extra long t-shirt night gowns ill get showered before bedtime & don a clean nightie, i would not re- wear it back to bed a 2nd time, but i think this does not make me a sloven of any kind, or have 'lower standards' than any one else, and i wouldn't care what anyone else wears or doesn't wear as its up to them what they want to wear for their own comfort.?

Maude42 Fri 29-Jan-21 12:07:04

Oh gosh no , dressed, make up , perfume, nails painted . Even though I’m not going anywhere and no one to see it ! I would have to be in hospital to wear nightwear all day and even then they might have a fight on their hands

I wake first and put on my dressing gown before making coffee. My husband likes to sleep in so I regularly stay in my dressing gown or bathrobe till he wakes, which can be as late as 11.30! With lockdown i think it really doesn’t matter. BTW it used to irritate me a few years ago but now I find I don’t mind at all!

Wake Fri 29-Jan-21 12:10:56

Never. Might have a lazy day watching tv and reading but I always shower, dress properly and put make up on. I enjoy having time to think about what to wear and pamper myself. I vowed years ago never to let myself go. My mum died two years ago at 84 and was the same. Always looked lovely and made an effort.

Blossoming Fri 29-Jan-21 12:11:06

I like your style Esspee

Mollygo Fri 29-Jan-21 12:13:44

Love it Esspee!

dragonfly46 Fri 29-Jan-21 12:16:14

Espee love it!!

No I get up, get dressed, shower, wash my hair, get dressed with makeup on. I must admit I am smarter at the top than the bottom - not sure my non-elastic trousers will fit after lock-down.
If I don't do this I look in the mirror and see my 100 year old Mum grin

Goingtobeagranny Fri 29-Jan-21 12:18:24

Until recently I wouldn’t have contemplated it but during lockdown we’ve been semi living with my son and daughter-in-law and dil is a big fan of pj day. Now I love it.
I still have a shower and as I don’t sleep in pj’s I have to put clean ones on but then we have movie day, pizza party, a picnic, a craft day...all in our pj’s ?

MayBee70 Fri 29-Jan-21 12:20:30

My nightwear isn’t much different to my day wear anyway. T shirt and loose fitting black pyjama bottoms. Put leggings and extra layers on when I walk the dog but often put my pyjama bottoms back on when I get home as they’re cotton and loose fitting. Thankfully, pre covid, I bought lots of pairs of pyjamas because M&S had a pattern that I liked so I bought several pairs. Because of lockdown I try to do a few exercises throughout the day and my jimjams are comfortable and loose fitting. Also I know that I won’t be having any surprise visitors. Not that I did before!

Nannan2 Fri 29-Jan-21 12:20:52

Bluebelle- it doesn't make me have 'low self esteem' or 'affect my mental well- being' either to do this- and no one said anyone in PJ's can't get up and wash their face or do their hair, nor brush their teeth etc. just that they've not got dressed! You make it sound like we've gone completely to pieces just cause we might have chosen not to bother dressing for the day, just to go absolutely nowhere! I would not go out in my PJ's though.hmm

Nannan2 Fri 29-Jan-21 12:25:08

Daddima- i like the idea of 'cootering' ?

Omaoma57 Fri 29-Jan-21 12:25:13

Straight into either jogging , walking or exercise gear, then shower then prepare / plan and prep food for the day then onto duo lingo for an hour then lunch as we only have coffee in the morning , then a walk then reading till late afternoon then tea...might get ready for bed early but never stay all day in the clothes that I sleep in...

Daffydilly Fri 29-Jan-21 12:27:10

Never, even in hospital I have to get dressed.

I'm the same, I've had a couple of recent stays in hospital and simply couldn't stay in PJs. I actually got quite annoyed with myself as there was absolutely no pressure to get dressed. ?

Mollygo Fri 29-Jan-21 12:27:30

Omaoma57 Duolingo is a daily thing for me too. What are you learning?

JaneJudge Fri 29-Jan-21 12:27:42

I don't as it makes me feel depressed but I don't care what anyone else chooses to do smile

GreyKnitter Fri 29-Jan-21 12:38:02

Purely personal choice I think. I don’t stay in my pjs all day - but not really sure why - but I do like to wear some of the clothes stashed in my wardrobe for when we can go out again. I often settle on a skirt on Sundays instead of the daily jeans or jeggins. I often have a bath early evening so that is the time when my pjs go on!

Stella14 Fri 29-Jan-21 12:42:35

Wow! Some very judgemental comments on this thread. ‘Standards’ and ‘slobbishness’ are subjective. It’s worth bearing in mind that because something is your opinion, that doesn’t make it a fact. Sometimes I do stay in my PJs, sometimes I don’t grin

Calendargirl Fri 29-Jan-21 12:44:05

Always get dressed as soon as I get up.

But keen to put my pyjamas and dressing gown on after tea and having my shower, often ‘ready for bed’ soon after 5pm, (during lockdown when I know there will be no visitors).

Don’t actually go to bed till about 10pm.

? zzzz

Riggie Fri 29-Jan-21 13:19:30

No. Im up and dressed and geberally stay that way until bedtime.
