    Yes, I have two - one I've had for years with cats all over it, and one DH bought for our 2nd wedding anniversary (cotton :o) that he had personalised with my name :)

    I have to wear one when I'm baking (it's a hang over from home ec. days at school!) and always wear one when I've got smart clothes on, such as Christmas Day.

  • I should but I don't. Actually I should wear one all the time I'm awake as I have the ability to spill everything and anything down me :o

    I've had to dye some tee-shirts a deep maroon due to red wine jumping out of the glass and totally missing my mouth and the stain removers not doing what it said on the tin :(

    (perfectly good tees, just unwearable in polite company, and won't throw good clothes away :rotfl: )

    Yes, I got a lovely flowery one from
    Asda reduced to £2! I love it. It has a pocket on the front and I clip a tea towel to it using a clothes peg so I have something to wipe my hands on.

    I wipe my hands on my apron :rotfl: This is the main reason i wear one.

    Think mine was from a glitch. Am being careful tonight - sticking to white wine instead. Until that runs out :rotfl:
  • I don't (though I should - there's one hanging in the kitchen from the children's school cooking lessons years ago!) but my lovely bf's lovely mum has a whole wardrobe of them and always wears them. She's great at sewing and makes her own. I imagine she either uses offcuts or makes them out of her old skirts, which she made in the first place. It really puts me to shame (but she is so nice that she never tries to make me feel inadequate, I just do!).:o

    Ohhh that's a good idea :D I usually end up with one tucked into the waistband of my trousers!:o

    I have a pinny ... I go through phases of wearing it but really must dig it out as I do tend to get stuff everywhere when I cook!

    My husband wears a chef type one - navy with white strips. I don't - but I should!
