How long do you stay in your PJs?

I hope I can make OP feel a bit better after all these answers from the Virtuous brigade who are up with the lark .
I work a few days a week and am up , bathed , dressed and out by 8 am .
All the other days I like to lie around a bit , usually in bed.
I am up and ready by 11 am . Often, by that time I have done a lot of chores in my nightie( not pjs)
Laundry on line , floors washed especially...then I can be washed and clean and nightie easily washed.
Rest of day is busy , busy, busy so I am definitely not lazy.
Don't be listening to anyone else.
Do what you want !
Don't listen to anyone,OP

*Fay*e you can make blackcurrant jam just like your mum did. All you need is a large pan, a wooden spoon (there are several on here for you to choose from), clean empty jars and equal weights of blackcurrants to sugar. Tip currants into the pan and simmer for 5minutes until soft. Chuck in the sugar and stir through. Bring to the boil. Keep it boiling for 15 minutes and keep stirring. Put it into warm jars, shove the lid on and leave it to cool and set. Done.

P.s. I also have no dog. Or cat, or animals of any kind.

Not forgetting that blackcurrant jam reaches setting point quite quickly ?

I have black currants from 2020 in the freezer, presumably they'd still be ok for jam or jelly making?

do you ever worry that should the emergency services have reason to gain entry to your house you'll be found in nothing but rubber gloves and an apron

Word of warning:
It is best to be well-clothed before jam-making in case it spatters ?

Yes, it is slovenly behaviour - in the Summer I’m up by 6am and fully showered , dressed and make up done by 6.45 at the latest. I assume you don’t work at all or do any sort of voluntary work, or you couldn’t possibly still not be properly dressed at 10/10.30 am

???
Many people on here are retired (it's a site for older people, so the clue's in the name).
I expect most have worked all their lives, may have brought up a family and cared for older relatives too.

So I think they're entitled to please themselves.

The only time I'd be up at 6 am , booted, spurred and with makeup on would be if I was going to catch a plane somewhere lovely.

There's no right or wrong with this. You have to do what suits you.
I have struggled with this all my adult life, because my mother suffered from serious mental ill health caused by her experiences in a bombed city in World War two. She had two children under 3 to care for while my father was on North Atlantic convoys and never got over the fear of bombs and particularly the awful Doodlebugs.
As a youngster I saw my mother get up increasingly less as the time went on. As a result, I have always tried to be up, smartly dressed and made up early every morning.
It's only now that I feel I can relax a bit more and have breakfast in bed and slob around till I feel it's time for a shower etc
It's up to you. If you feel ok in your jammies till midday or beyond then that is fine. Duvet days aren't a bad thing at all. Wish I had had more in the past.

Your house your rules as soon as I go to the shower about 8ish. Pjs go in the wash basket I like to get the washing done quickly.

I live in hope.

@Doodledog Likewise!

I potter around in the all together to do my housework,I might get up at 6.30 am,I might get up at 10.00am,I keep curtains closed,so no passing horses are frightened,I will cover up with rubber gloves and apron whilst sploshing about with the bleach,then I get showered.

dte do you ever worry that should the emergency services have reason to gain entry to your house you'll be found in nothing but rubber gloves and an apron?

I have breakfast in mine and get dressed straight afterwards. I wake very early and the DH takes 40 minutes to attend to his levee and, if I had to wait another 40 minutes for my coffee, I’d do him a mischief.

All these smuggers up, showered and dressed around 6, must go to bed around 9p.m.
I dread to think what sort of social life they have.

... when you're retired, your social life can start early morning - unless you go clubbing.

And some people sleep less hours than others.

Maybe it's a tad smug to suggest they don't have a social life?

I sometimes go to bed at 9, other times not until around 2 in the morning. And I stay in my PJs as long as it suits. Others like to be up with the lark.

Best that one group does not condemn the other. We are a diverse bunch.

I’m guessing all those who talk about lazing, slobbish, idle etc etc haven’t actually read the thread, otherwise they’d have seen an awful lot of busy, energetic and productive people in various forms of nightwear, dressing gowns and so on.

I can’t imagine being so busy I don’t have time to read other people’s views, but still feel competent to be rude about them.

You did dead heading in the garden in your PJs !
I can’t believe it !

When I was a child and visited my grandma in an industrial town in Yorkshire , she lived in a little terraced house on an old cobbled street with outside toilet across the road, and washing on clothes lines across the street,
and the women all shuffled off to the local shop at the far end of the street wearing their slippers and often still with rollers still in their hair ( my grandma didn’t do the latter ) . These women would have had hard lives - cooking breakfast for loads of kids, washing often done by hand with a mangle etc etc, so they had some excuse for appearing ‘ slovenly’ - what’s yours ???

What a rude and nasty comment!

If I have to get to work for 7am I have to go to bed for 10pm. I have no social life

I wander out to feed the birds first thing in them generally about 7 then have either a shower or soak in the bath before getting dressed ready for breakfast. I can't function or do any chores wearing them. However at the other end of the day when I'm ready to relax I love to change into them,especially and dark winter evenings.

Till I’m ready to get dressed. It’s clothing. I’m decent so who cares. Visitors- I’m dressed. Work-ditto. Housework-well, if I’ve worn something all night, I might as well wear it whilst I mop, dust and hoover and then put it to wash instead of working up a sweat in clean clothes and having to change again.

Good point Mollygo.

If you're going to get 'down and dirty' why not keep your PJs on and shower and change after.

As for the postman and other delivery people knocking on the door - they are in such a hurry because they have so much to deliver in so little time, I doubt they even notice - or care - what you are wearing. I might feel a little embarrassed if the Queen were to knock on the door - or 'Prince Charming', having got the wrong address - but as neither of these events is likely to happen, I don't care either.

Azalea good wishes ?

Don’t wear then, so out of bed and straight in the shower.
I associate staying in PJ’s with being unwell. I know a lot of people laze around in PJ’s but that’s not for me.

I put on my workout clothes as soon as I get out of bed (and brush my teeth!). I feel more ready to get something done - not that that something is exercise ;-) However, as I write this I am in my PJs!

I'm very much the same! My pyjams (in winter) or nightie (in summer) are so comfortable for housework that I'm often in them until midday. I'm not lazy, just practical!

I love to get a few jobs done in my pj's before getting dressed and putting my make up on.
