I do not want to wear pjs anymore

I want a big ole comfy nightie

no mickey mouse

no broderie anglaise

am finding little of use in my usual haunts (inc. La Senza, the Scope charity shop)

I've also been looking and nearly gave up until I found this:
white company
They do this in a lovely brown called rich noisette - don't know what colour you're looking for but I've got 3 boys and there are no pale colours worn in our house!

ah well if you like the white co one, then you def ought to check out tkmaxx. (i feel like im saying that a lot recently, tis prob getting v boring now)
i got really nice pjs in there yesterday (am more a pjs girl than a nighty one) for 15 quid. better than the 95 i was sorely tempted to pay for hush silk ones.
