I want/need a pinny - any ideas

I get into a right mess when I cook - esp anything that involves flour!:eek: so really need an apron or pinny. However I really dont want to have to make one as I hate needlework of any kind:rolleyes:
So have any of you wonderful people seen any in the shops or somewhere?:confused:

    I got 2 lovely aprons from Ebay recently - a blue gingham check one, and a pale cream one with tiny pink rosebuds.
  • I got one free fom good housekeeping. I'm sure I got a link or code for it from this site somewhere, probably the freebies board. That was last year, but I think they come up periodically. Other than that try a charity shop, or even request a couple from freecycle, after all you've got nothing to lose.

    I find PVC aprons better than cotton as they are wipe clean, so much less mess; and I don't get soaked through when washing up as with cotton ones. Mine has lasted well over a decade.

    Do you drink coffee? You can get a nice red stripy one, with oven gloves & a pan holder with the 'Nescafe bean' tokens. You only need to pay 50p p&p.
