    I do think I will appreciate looking young when I get older, but then I also found my first grey hair this morning :(

    Time to get the dye out again I think...

    I am sat here in track pants and a hoody and I'm 54. And pleasantly warm with it!

    I have a range of fabulous blankets that I wear on a regular basis (no heating in the house unless fire is lit and fire doesn't get lit until evening.) Today I was sporting my delightful duck egg blue blanket when the neighbour walked past my kitchen window!

    I am in my early thirties and very attached to my hoodies - there is nothing else that is as warm in winter. I have also been told I look young for my age, but not so young as to be asked for ID any more.

    Flyingmamma - Well done on resisting spending and setting up a savings plan. :)

    I haven't bought anything else as I went on six consecutive shopping trips in January and now I am not interested in clothes shopping! Hope this lasts until about April...

    Lol! from the sound of the posts today, the main demographic of this thread seems to be hoodie wearing, blanket snuggling, 20 - 30 somethings.. who all have issues when it comes to clothing spends - are we all spending on hoodies? :rotfl:

    I have a bedroom full of jeans. I buy them endlessly looking for that perfect pair... basically it would have been cheaper to go on a trip to america where they are shaped better for me lol.

    Hoodies are so comfy - Great for bobbing out in the car in to to keep you warm :o

    I have just nipped out in the snow to the shop in a black velour hoodie tracksuit with ugg style boots on - Oh thinks I look ridiculous {~ but he would probably rather me go out in a mini skirt and freeze lol }
    And im in my thirties - so I feel I look daft - But what the hell im comfy
    :p:D


    I managed to find some wellie socks I was asking about on here in the poundshop :j so I grabbed a few pairs so I have to declare them along with a few other bits when I find my piece of paper I wrote them down on ;)

    At least due to the weather I wont be venturing t oany car boots to spend any money today :D

    I am claiming a Freedom day too!

    Found a grey jersey dress in the wardrobe which I am wearing with leggings and a huge black wool cardi that I never wear as it attracts dog hairs like a magnet. Decided on the dress and leggings as I am off dog training later and my chunky calves mean I cant wear jeans with my wellies :( I can get away with the cardi too as everyone else is usually as yeti hairy as me!!
