Aprons

I have a GBBO that says 'what prue says'. I love it.

Just out of curiosity, what on earth are some of you doing with all that bleach your aprons are protecting you from????!

Always wear an apron while cooking, which I do a lot. I'm forever wiping my messy hands on it. They get disgusting, are regularly hot washed and are still disgusting and badly stained. That's what they 're for..

funny have not had an apron for years but they are so useful. Perhaps I should invest in one!
Mum used to have a button up overall with sleeves not sure what you call them, her first was a pink check left from when she was a dinner lady, then she had a nice brown checked one.

An apron in the kitchen and when eating or doing housework (not that I do much!)

I wear old scruffy and stained clothes when doing things at home and in the garden so I don't need to worry what happens to them. If someone comes to the door they just have to accept the way I am! I always change when expecting people or going out of the house. I use a pvc apron to stop my clothes getting wet when washing up. If I wear decent clothes at home they always get ruined!!

Just clothes, but I have "around the house clothes" so I usually change even if I just pop to the local shop, unless I can throw my coat over them.

It's in all the floor cleaning fluids particularly toilet cleaner. It's very easy to splash it accidentally then the colour is stripped from the bit that you've splashed.

I have a tabard that I wear for cooking. It doesn’t twist sideways like aprons do on me and has two huge pockets.

I roll my sleeves up too. I really don’t understand the tv cooks with long sleeves; Prue Leith usually has 3/4 length.

I have a different tabard for cleaning.

I used to wear a pinny years ago, but don’t bother now.

I don’t wear aprons but my husband always does! 😀

I ought to wear an apron but rarely do as I forget. I have one made from adire fabric with a traditional Nigerian folk saying printed on it ^No food for lazy man^

SueDonim what a wonderful quote! I must trot that out sometime!

I have a black and white striped cook’s apron that I wear when preparing meals, and an Eden Project apron that GS gave me as a present years ago, for baking.

I have 2 aprons with bibs and often wear one of Mum's 1950's / 60's waist tie aprons. I especially like the red apron with the black cat which she made late 50's.

If I’m cleaning, I just wear older clothes, I do splash a lot of cleaning products/bleach around. However I wear an apron over nicer clothes when cooking, washing up etc. I’m a real messy soul, and very splashy. My mother said I was born under a fountain! 😁

Just clothes, sometimes nothing for the first cup of tea/coffee.

What nude😳😂

Nothing wrong with that!

I made my first apron at primary school and still have it to wonder at the yards of ties, oversewn with miniscule stitches I can hardly see. I still love hand-sewing.
I wear a homemade pinny for baking.

I wear a (full-length) apron for washing-up. I've never yet figured out how come I manage to splash water down my front and often on the floor too when I wash up - but somehow I do and so I land up with wet clothes all too often if I wash up without one.

Unless the weather is hot enough for Southerner me (which it usually isn't - as I am a South of England person living in West Wales these days) - and in that case I'm not wearing any clothes to get wet anyway. But the weather here is rarely too hot in my opinion - and I console myself with "At least it's rarely too hot to sleep at night" (which is the downside of living in my southern City sometimes).

I do t own an apron. If it gets messy it gets washed.

Never worn an apron in my life,neither did my mum. My gran wore a crossover pinnie...

I own aprons… depending on what I’m cooking depends if I wear one… on the other hand depending on what we’re eating I’ll wear one then 😂🤣😂

I mix up the kitchen spray with the pre-wash stain remover sometimes & pre-spray my clothes with bleach. It's very annoying.
New kitchen now, & I've put laundry & general cleaners in two hopefully non-mixuppable cupboards.

Pinnie as all the way. Love my pinny and feel naked without it.
My friends laugh but it keeps my clothes clean

MrB wears an apron when he’s cooking, it is quite a manly leatherworker’s apron though

Wearing an apron to protect my clothes is so ingrained in me that I can barely enter the kitchen without reaching for my beloved red apron - my children gave it to me for one of those birthdays with an '0' on the end (it wasn't my only present from them!) Sadly the wording that was on it has mostly disappeared as it has been washed SO many times. I also volunteer in a Community Coffee Shop and we all have white aprons with our logo on.
