Slippers I got into the car only last week in mine, lucky was still on the drive way........ :-D :-D.

PJs.are no different to a leisure suit,,,,,,,its the dressing gown that makes all the difference,,,,,,,,,I thought that stupid craze had long gone away,,,,anyway just goes to show they havnt had a wash that morning..... ;-) :-D :-D.

Your Collie wears PJs Lavender?
About five years ago I made some disparaging remark about a really scruffy bloke, and my wife suggested that I look in the mirror. I threw out all my jeans and tatty footwear etc. and now won't set foot outside the house unless I am properly dressed. I even "bull" my shoes. Last night I was asked whether I am an undertaker.

That's the thing Sylvia. I doubt anyone realised I was out in my slippers but I knew! :-0 :-D

Because of my back problem, I cannot wear "slippers" or flip flops, I have to wear either brogue-type shoes or supportive sandals ................... so I have a couple of pairs of what would otherwise be outdoor shoes and sandals that are kept solely for indoors.

I do occasionally find myself dressed for outside and walking into the coffee shop wearing my house shoes :-0


Luckily no-one else knows that except me .......... and I know that I will have to clean to soles of the shoes when I get back home :-(

Brave enough? Shouldn't that be 'slobby enough'?
Most certainly not!

Without realising, I went to a hospital appointment in my slippers once - I hasten to add, they were passable as summer shoes albeit a bit scruffy and not fluffy check with pompoms. I was mortified! :-0

That's funny! Was she blonde?? ;-) :-D

We are terribly lazy now and takes hours before we get dressed if we have no morning appointments.
I'm quite happy opening the door, getting the milk in or retrieving the bins. OH hides if the bell rings! If I have to step off our property to say knock at a neighbours, then I have to be dressed.
Actually - tell a lie. The neighbours daughter phoned us as her mum hadn't picked up her's for 2 days. I shot round there while OH got dressed. As you can imagine, we were visuallizing her as being laying in a heap. It turns out she had a previously unknown fault on the line. Alls well that ends well ;-)

Ann cardiff your post made me laugh.

I have a story that has always made me smile in our house. My son and his partner lived in a flat with communial garages just outside the flat.. My sons 17 yr old sister in law was visiting and she was asked to take something to son in the garage. Dressed in pjs , slippers she goes up the road to the local petrel station.shop, carrying the items for the garage outside, looks all around the shop for him then goes back to flat and says I cant find him in the garage. LOL

I've never even taken the bin out whilst still in my PJs but I see it often.

If I remember correctly, in their 24 hr stores,Tesco attempted to ban customers who were wearing Pjs and dressing gowns

interesting - a tractor in a nightie :-D

If the Mothers have no pride in their appearance I wonder if the children will?

We do see this here and it makes me cringe :-( but I have seen the same in the nicer London postcodes where Mums drive their Chelsea tractors dressed in their nightwear.

remember a (American) film from maybe the '60's where this was featured, and yep the mums, did have a bit of a set to


what's the word???


Slovenly? or summat.........???

Hot mums only! ;-) ;-)

Good for that Head teacher. Teaching begins in the home - parents have a responsibility to set their children a good example. Going out of doors in PJs is neither acceptable nor trendy - it's a sign that standards are slipping.

However, I have double standards in a way. Many moons ago, I picked up our then teenage son from a party held in a pub. It was late at night and I was ready for bed and I didn't need to get out of the car. On the way home, we were stopped by the police as they had seen me emerge from a pub car park. Not sure if I was over the speed limit or what, but when they noticed my night attire.......I was shoo'ed on my way. :-D

One of these years.........

I'd like to open a morning coffee shop/wine bar/cafe, just for mothers in their pyjamas!

<3


With a soundproof creche :-)

I'm like Kath and maggie .......... I have indoor comfortable old clothes and outside clothes


I love having a "slob" day, when I don't have to go out and no-one is expected so that I can "slob" around in my very comfortable inside garb :-D

There are quite a few young mothers around here who venture as far as the corner shop or school playground in dressing gowns or onesies.

I think it looks terrible.

Like maggiewinchester I, too, have inside clothes which are very old, baggy trousers and tops that are very comfortable to sit around or work in but I wouldn't be seen dead outside in them - and as for nightclothes, I think I would frighten the horses!!

Its one thing to open the car door so the child to get out if you've been running late, but quite another if you need to escort them into the school/playground.

As it so easy to pull loose sweat-suit bottoms & tops on, habitual offenders are just lazy!

As regards the elderly lady shopping in the supermarket - when he was developing dementia my dad used to go out in his PJs with a coat on. His arguement, apart from that it was more comfortable, was that ladies wore vests so what was wrong with PJs? He failed to accept that the 'vests' were T shirts. It caused no end of arguements. If he had his way, he wouldnt even have bothered with clothes. :-0

I've never seen it..

Although I do have to confess that I have taken our collie into the field wearing pj's, welly boots and big, waxed jacket :-0 :-0

I don't encounter anybody and it is our own field :-P

I don't like seeing it ...............


but over here (I don't know about the UK), they do sell "leisure pants" that look like pyjama trousers

they're supposed to be as comfortable as pjs, made of flannel, similar patterns etc, but to be worn in the daytime.


we even see kids going to school in them ......... especially high school kids who ignore mother's "advice" to dress properly.

That is just lazy in my view....I don't even like answering the door in my dressing gown.
Not sure I like the modern laid back attitude....but then again I am ancient!!
The headmistress is right....there are rules...as Ann says...compromise and slip on a track suit if you've been rushed,but PJs and slippers..!... :-S
