I am sat here in track pants and a hoody and I'm 54. And pleasantly warm with it!‘Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.’ David Lynch.

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...0 -

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

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
: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

FREEDOM DAY here! a gret and pink sweatshirt I havent worn for a while. What fun.0

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!! 0
