How long do you stay in your PJs?

I work full time during the week, so once I'm up it's shower and dress. It's usually the same at weekends unless I know I'm going out at say 11 am. Then I'd do a couple of chores before dressing. Don't see the point on dirtying two sets of clothes. I'm in my pj's most evenings by 7pm unless I'm expecting visitors.

I agree with Zonne. What a lot of smug, self satisfied, early risers on this thread. In old age, I seem to have reverted to youth - staying awake half the night and sleeping very late. As there is no one to bother me, that's fine. I stay upstairs in bed doing emails or reading, until feeling hungry, or the cat is making it plain that she is.

It depends on what I'm doing. I don't sleep in PJ's but put them on when I get up. Our bathroom is downstairs so I get up, anywhere between 6 & 8 depending on my bladder, prepare DH's breakfast and have a cup of tea while waiting for him to wake up. I usually have my breakfast around 9 and then wash/ shower and get dressed but sometimes I'll stay in my PJ's. My day clothes and PJ's don't look much different, usually tee shirt and leggings or leisure trousers and DH can often not tell if I've got dressed or not.
In this hot weather I find some of my PJ's are much cooler to wear.

October to March....

Not everyone is a lark!

Depends on the day and what I'm doing. I'm still in my nightie now but about to go in the shower - I've been out in the garden deadheading and taking it all in, observing! I'm up around 8.30, occasionally earlier and often 'garden' (no major grubby jobs) in my nightie for a short while - I am very lucky my garden is lush and not overlooked. It is nice to be out there first thing with a cuppa before the machinery of hedge trimmers and lawn mowers start! If I manage to get out really early all I can hear are the birds singing. I wouldn't want to waste this precious time in the shower - it takes me a while to shower and get ready now since serious illness and I have been more relaxed about time since then. This is my home, my place & space, my life and I try to enjoy it as best I can. It does not matter what I am wearing as long as I am clean! All clothes are material! And the cleaning can happen at any time in the day but I do like to be showered and dressed for lunch! So for me a nice calm breakfast, a review of the day ahead, a wander around the garden and a check of emails then I get ready. But if I'm going somewhere then obviously I get ready when I get up!
We should all enjoy retired life (I had a very busy full on full time job all my life) which ever way we like, while we can.

Until last week I didn’t have any PJ’s, because I didn’t see the point of wearing something similar to underpants at night and then having to wash them every day the same as you do with underwear. Instead I’m happy with nighties. However I had to go into hospital for a mastectomy a couple of days ago and was advised to wear PJ’s, and I’ve really been very pleasantly surprised at how cool and comfortable they are. Today is my first day completely alone, and I’m going to spend it wearing only PJ’s.
This is probably me finally getting trendy!

No PJ's or Nightie here, either - but I put on a Jog Suit/Leisure suit (i.e. fleece type top and trousers) on getting up, so no modesty issues, even if someone comes to the door, or I go into the garden. Usually, I shower and dress around 9.00am, unless I have to be out for an appointment which requires an earlier start.
When not feeling well (or particularly lazy) I have been known to wait until after I have cooked lunch to wash and dress - but would not feel right spending the whole day without doing so.
All credit to those who are happy enough in their own skin, to spend their day in whatever state of dress they choose!

I work in my ones till 12.30 then have shower and dress and take dogs out. I know it's wrong. But I don't want to excite the dogs too early. And I change my pjs every 2 days. and I mean mainly in home office...

Well said Doodledog

Usually dressed by 8.30 at the latest , only stay in dressing gown if I'm ill ?. It makes me feel better to be up and dressed .

If at home, I will often stay in mine for most of the morning, sometimes all day. It is so relaxing. I will often wander around the garden in the early morning, tea in hand, as we are not overlooked. In cold weather, will just put on my big old coat and boots, PJs still on. One of my favourite things to do.

I don't wear PJs, except when we have guests staying. I normally get dressed as soon as I get up, but the time can vary from 4.30am recently to 10.30 occasionally. It would never occur to me to stay in pyjamas or a dressing gown all day.

Azalea99 Get well soon. ?

Having worked for 46 years (and still working full time), when I am on days off, I LOVE wearing my pj's - I feel comfortable and its my "chilling" time! Obviously if I'm expecting visitors or have appointments its different and I'm up, showered and dressed but I think I have earnt the right to do exactly as I please in my own house. Mind you, I do draw the line at people who shop in their pj's - I could NEVER do that!

I'm like the OP. Have breakfast, empty dishwasher, potter in back garden, look at the computer. Get showered about 10 am.

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

FYI the postman won't feint if you answer the door in pls either, or a dressing down.
Maybe not even your birthday suit.

I remember once answering the door breastfeeding my baby. I was do tired I had hit dillerium and it wasn't until after I’d accepted the parcel I realized. Thankfully my postie was a woman and I did apologise. She said she wasn't fazed at all and had seen everything in her job, and asked about the baby.

Nobody needs to "excuse" themself to a stranger on the internet.
Some people never seem to grasp that fact.

@cath it’s not slovenly it’s still clothing. It covers the necessary and as long as you’ve showered in a 24h period whos to dictate what time that should be? Clean and tidy is fine. You do you though with your (unwritten) rule book.

I agree totally

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

I'm loving your outrage CathSoc! Yesterday, I dead headed the roses, watered the greenhouse and cropped the fruit off blackcurrant bushes before going back in to make jam! I do hope that some of my neighbours were as shocked as you!

Quick!
Call the police!
Report it to crimestoppers!

It'll be on the next edition of "Crimewatch" for sure.

Just that really, I ask because it’s 10:30am and I’m still in mine, and this is quite normal for me.
Got up at 8:00am, had a leisurely breakfast, emptied the dishwasher, changed the sheets on the bed, did a bit of dead heading in the garden and now thinking about getting dressed so that I can walk the dog. Am I alone in this slovenly behaviour?

So would I be most days, having done jobs like you.

Thank you Kryptonite!
