I can hear voices downstairs - I think we've got visitors and it's 3:00 pm and I'm still in my pyjamas because I started writing with my first cup of coffee. AND NOW I CANT GO DOWNSTAIRS!

Worst. Day. Ever. :cry:

Awwwww. :Hug2:


I take it you have no clothes you can change into upstairs to make the trip downstairs? I would be tempted to slip on a robe and go greet the visitors anyway. You are a writer. Writers are supposed to do things like show up in the afternoon in their pajamas with a cup of coffee because they have spent their time writing instead of changing into day clothes.

What's wrong with eccentric? ;)

:Hug2:


ETA: Could you call to your husband and have him come upstairs and explain what you need?

Can't one of you rescue me? Or send me a food parcel? :flag:

Is there anyone downstairs you can phone, to ask them to bring you clothes? And perhaps les cookies?

Well, I would just go downstairs and act like everything is perfectly normal. English eccentricity. I can get away with it. LOL!

I'm Australian. I can't. Also old. :granny: Also - boy pyjamas with the weird thing at the front and everything :mad:


Dpat - good idea. I emailed him. That should go to his iphone, right?

Worst day ever ... You've evidently lived a charmed life so far if you are old enough to drink coffee.

Phew. They're gone. It was just someone who thought we were someone else (perils of renting in France). I'm going downstairs to do the the showering thing like a proper French lady now, and I think I might burn the boy pyjamas. :evil

Also - (no wonder I've been having such a bad day today!) I need coffee... :roll: Can't believe how quickly the day went!


Everyone can have a rep point. For caring. :Hug2: And for minimal rofling. Except maybe Porter. I'm still on the fence about whether Porter showed real understanding. It was a worst day. Ever.

ETA: :Hug2: only joking, Porter. You can have a rep, too....

If it helps, I am wearing boy pajamas. And I wouldn't think of burning them because they are comfortable. Soft cotton, this pair has camouflage deer on them.

We are women, McCardey. We get to wear men's clothing when we feel like it and people think it is cute. And when men try to wear our clothing...well, it is a woman's world after all. ;)

Have a great rest of your day, Lady. :)

AW. A very nice place!
... just fling something on and dash down for a bit.
Then return to your writing. 20 minutes would do.
The pause may prove favorable :)

If they made freakin' girl pajamas which were as durable and comfortable as men's, then I wouldn't wear men's 80% of the time, would I? (Currently dragon-printed pants, red on black, with a snap fly, and a T-shirt advertising a barbecue place in the same colors.) I own one pair of women's PJs for winter and one for summer, but the waistbands roll, they don't stretch as far, the buttons catch my hair, and the lace itches.

That said, you might benefit by following our daughter's policy, which is to skin out of her jammies on rising, putting on equally comfortable yoga or athletic pants and a T-shirt or sweatshirt. Then when someone comes to the door late in the day and catches you, they think you're just in comfy home-for-the-day clothes, not that you haven't dressed.

I write at home for a living. I'm sitting or sometimes using a faux standing desk.

And unless I'm going "out" past the front steps, I wear men's pajama pants and a t-shirt. All Day Long. I don't sleep in them, but they're warm and comfortable.

Well, I feel positively normal now. :Sun: I thought I was the only person who loathed women's pjs. On top of the crappy tight waistsbands and far-too-long legs, they're five times the price of men's ones. At least where I live.

I used to have a bright orange tee-shirt I slept in that had "I Root For The Bears" emblazoned across it - which is terribly rude in Australian. *snigger* But I had to give up wearing it when my eldest learned to read.

Well, it's now 15:17 here and I am sat in jogging bottoms, nightshirt and dressing gown. And thick black socks.

I'm not going out so what the hey. And it saves on laundry.
