    Now THAT's minging!!! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: Running kit/gym kit is the one thing I do wash after one wear. Ugh ugh ugh!

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I go so fast only I can smell me - weirdly it doesnt smell actually - but then I do 75% of my training at a pace where I dont sweat much...

    My trainers are another matter :eek::eek::eek:
  • I love how everyone has a different 'after work' routine and how we're all shocked that people don't do it just like we do! :rotfl:

    I love lounging clothes but one thing I don't do is 'slob out'. Like piratefairy, I couldn't bear to wear PJs all day or not shower/do my hair/put makeup on. Even on lazy Sundays I'll do all that then stick my comfy clothes on and sit on the sofa watching films! I like comfort but I'm not scruffy.

    I think perhaps piratefairy and I are one and the same - I have a huuuuge PJ habit and every trip to Primark ends with a fab new pair! How do we feel about matching in bed? I hate to wear mismatched PJs, so I tend to buy fun, patterned bottoms and white cotton tops rather than matching sets.

    I think, as well as comfort, for me it's about recognising the end of the working day. I wear normal, everyday clothes for work and if I wore them right through to bedtime I'd feel like I was still 'ready' to work or like I couldn't shake off the working day. If I'm going out after work I get changed and if I'm staying in after work I get changed, because then I really feel like I've finished for the day! :)

    I couldn't wear PJs all day either, I would feel awful! :rotfl: I love putting them on in the evening, esp on a cold winter's night, but not all day.

    I can't actually cope with not leaving the house all day either. I have to get out or I feel as if the day's been wasted, no matter how bad the weather! I think it's from my mum always putting us out to play and telling us fresh air was sooo good for us! :D

    So when I am in the house, I'll always make sure I'm clean and dressed. I wouldn't wear makeup just for sitting reading on the couch, I'll just brush my teeth, wash and moisturise. In summer I'llput on just a light cotton dress (no undies usually :D ) and bare feet or flip flops. In winter I'm a little slobbier but the worst I would get is PJ bottoms with a t-shirt. Usually it's combats/cords with a woolly jumper, snuggly!

    :eek: to the person who washed their PJs after 2 wears!!!!

    Oh but your laundry bill must be huge!!! :eek: And your electric!!!! :eek: And your clothes will wear out really fast!!! :eek: And what about dry clean only clothes???? :eek:

    Seriously, unless you've been sweaty or gotten dirty then most things will manage two wears, especially if you don't have them on all day. White t-shirts and shirts generally need doing every time. Pants & Socks obviously get done every time but skirts and outer jumpers/cardis especially don't need doing every time.

    Are you one of those who washes their towels after every use too???

    You lied to me Edward. There IS a Swansea. And other places.....

    I dont own any pjs :D

    I sleep naked or with scanty underwear depending on the temperature...maybe thats why I dont slob about the house in my pjs - my flatmates might pass out :p

    Lol..Sorry to disappoint, but the mismatching is the end of our PJ sisterhood!! I usually go for the long trouser PJs, and an oversize tshirt, usually some of the Crafty Couture ones from Topshop or a band tshirt from a gig..Don't like sleeping in a vest top for some reason it feels odd..

    Here's one that provided mucho amusement for OH tho, what about sleeping in undies underneath PJs?? I couldn't go naked under the tshirt..

    Does that mean you sleep in your bra - isn't that uncomfortable?

    Me neither. Well, I do have a nightie that I use if we stay in someone's house when travelling (like my mum in-law's, for example).

    Even in winter, I just pile more covers on the top of my duvet rather than wearing clothes in bed...
