    My mum had an old 1950s book on pregnancy and babycare and it said you MUST have a rubber apron for when you are bathing the baby.
    I should have thought of this when DS was smaller I had to cover him in greasy stuff for his eczema, I used to keep a spare set of clothes just for that, as anything I wore got covered in grease spots. An apron would have been just the thing!

    Well, at least I have a rubber apron, so I'll be prepared when I become a mother. Maybe I could use it if babysitting a child and have to bath her.

    I answered the door to my 20-something neighbour this morning wearing my 'pinny' and a headscarf as I was in the middle of making 4 dozen mince pies. I might as well have been naked given the look of horror on his face, I'm only 29 but he seemed to think I was a bit odd!

    Am I the only one that thinks "pinny" is a very feminine word?Like "loo". What man goes to the "loo"?

    I bought a Nigella Lawson duck egg blue apron from TK Maxx for £4 and it is a real comfort blanket. Never cook without it now.

    Oooh, I never thought about TK Maxx for aprons, I've not been in for years.

    That's an excuse then. ;)
