How long do you stay in your PJs?

There lots of funny people on here, I think.
People who are busy being outraged for no particular reason miss out on lots of laughs.

Couldn't agree more MissA

Most of the groups I attend are in the mornings around 10.00 am. So, I get up around 7.30 ish - all breakkie items are set up in the evening, so can make me a pot of tea (loose tea leaves), for my very large breakfast mug and my cereal with fruit in about three minutes - so within few minutes of getting out of bed will be sitting in riser/recliner chair eating breakfast and watching BBC 1 morning show. I wear nighties, not PJ's and have nice dressing gowns that go on when I am up. Cosy fleece ones for winter, and pretty silky type one in summer. Obviously, first thing I do as I get out of bed is cross room to en-suite loo, then open the curtains.

The I look into my laptop, emails, face book, Gransnet, also check my bank account and credit card account on my phone (daily check to be in advance of any fraudalent activity). Soon after 9.00 am I take trolley into kitchen and put breakfast items in sink, and them go into bedroom, make bed, shower and dress and then go out.

Love this, - when I was working, it would be up, washed dressed straight out to car to go to work, and then somewhere between 9 - 9.30 used to try to find time for breakfast. No time for shower in morning used to bath at night. So lovely with retirement to do things more the way that suits my bodyclock.

I have no feelings at all about people who are happy staying in their night things much of the day, nor about those who seem to feel they need to get dressed as they get of bed. Each to their own.

Having grown up eating Mammy's blackcurrant jam I'm very partial to that too Chewbacca but I haven't inherited her skill in that department
Hope you're chilling out after all that activity ?

I don’t wear P.J’s. Nightdress for me.

I always get dressed after my ablutions, so usually I’m presentable by 9am approximately.

if I am not up and dressed by 7.00am, I am ill.

Same here MOnica

I work full time, so am showered and dressed pretty early. I tend to do most of the cleaning at the weekend and don’t shower and get dressed till I have finished cleaning or if I am going out. It can easily be 2.00pm on a Saturday before I have a shower and get dressed. Sunday’s we are usually doing things, so I tend to shower and dress at a more respectable time! ?

Until I’ve cleaned up because I once got bleach on my clothes. On dark wet days I stay in my pjs

I'm usually up have breakfast then shower and dress all before 9 am. I am though fibding that on a Saturday or Sunday I just am not bitgering to shower or dress. This has crept in over past month since DH died in May. Find it strange it's a weekend day this happens, no rhyme nor reason. I have a camera doorbell so can avoid any unwanted visitors. Don't go in garden though woukd need to be dressed or neighbours would be questioning my sanity.

Correct ….self respect isn’t clothing. I always aster garden in jammies …. I’m up at 5.30. Then indoors to get disabled husband ready for the day …. that takes 1.5 hours… then get him breakfasted. … that’s another hour. Then get him settled in front of tv…then it’s a reasonable time to get my brekkie .. shower and dressed! Then my day begins !
Self respect is doing NOT wearing!

If I have a really early start to the day I can drift into doing housework in my night clothes before having my shower. Usually though it's Up, Shower, Coffee and breakfast. Short stroll around the block or stretch routine and then I am ready to start my day.

Well said,Doodledog. Far too much judgement. I don't stay in PJ'S but really doesn't worry me what anyone else does.

I get showered and dressed as soon as I get up but like to get into nightwear early in the evening. Can never understand our children and grandchildren having pj days where they don’t get dressed at all.

All day, if I’m not going out. I have chronic fatigue, and I find showering really tires me out. I used to shower as soon as I got up. Another of the unexpected side-effects of ageing!

It’s that old adage, oft quoted on here, that “you don’t know what’s going on in others’ lives”.
People may choose to stay in their nightwear for longer than others for many reasons, and this certainly does not mean they are slovenly. People have different lives, different body clocks, different needs and wants.

Tee shirt and short style pjs
Straight out of bed and into the shower.
Hate the 'sleepy feel' skin and hair even though I have a clean bed.

My mum had several house-coats that she wore over her underwear.
This was on until housework completed.
She also prior gong out, would do her hair and make-up before removing her house-coat replacing with a clean fresh ironed dress /skirt and top.

This reminds me of my friend who years ago as a teenager and mother’s help in France was held to account for dressing first thing when the mother considered it slovenly to do any chores first thing in decent day clothes.

Well said Doodledog wear what you are comfortable in. Clean PJs are so comforting I only wear them out of bed as I wear nightdresses but have been known to wear hem until 11am

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.

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

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 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!

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.

Azalea good wishes ?

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.

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.

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.
