Wearing pjs to hang washing outside

[pjswashingline]

I'm just waiting on the washing machine to finish and then I will hand it outside. I am in pjs and will not get changed prior to going outside. We have neighbours at either side so I can be seen but I think it's perfectly acceptable to be out in nightwear. I just wondered if others get changed first?

My boobs are not designed for me to be able to wander around braless unfortunately so I mostly get changed before leaving my bedroom. I would if I could.

I wear a bra to bed so it looks fine. A sugar Candy one

Personally not something I'd do. I wouldn't judge neighbours if I saw them do so.

I wouldn't. Having a shower and getting into day clothes is an important part of getting up, wouldn't even go to the bins unless dressed.

Me too, and take the rubbish out.
No point in getting showered and dressed before doing housework.

Often do it .....didn't know it might not be a thing ,,,

😳That's a step too far

Of course it's ok. I put the bin out, go out to the car, collect children late at night in pjs 😂

Very normal. When they were younger, my DSDC were shocked but then I demonstrated I could sashay dance out the front door and along the footpath in my PJs and no one cares 😁. THAT was probably pushing it but in your own space is perfectly fine and acceptable.

I don’t have a PJs as such…just a revolving selection of harem pants and t shirts…newer ones for at home day wear and when they get a bit tatty they get consigned to ‘PJ status’

So anyone seeing me in them would have a bit of a conundrum figuring out whether I’m ‘appropriately’ dressed of not (all hinges on whether I’ve got undies and a bra on imo!)

So unless I’m actually going out, that’s what I’m generally wearing, and if DD needs picking up late in the evening, that’s still what I’ll be wearing. I wouldn’t think twice about hanging the washing, going out to the car or garage in them.

It's your gaff . Wear what you want . I wouldn't wear them beyond the garden gate though .

Within the boundary of your property PJs are acceptable. Outside the boundary PJs are unacceptable. If I ever had to go to pick up the DC or DH I’d put jeans and a jumper on top. My friend went out in just her PJs and had a collision with another car, she was mortified more because she was wearing PJs more than the accident.

Standards!! My rules:
In yr own house and garden, it's your business of course,

Neighbours shd consider themselves lucky to see me in my flanelette.

Outside, e.g at the front, is a TOTALLY different matter.
Boundaries people, boundaries !

100% agree. Mortifying.

I wear my dressing gown. I hang out my washing in my back garden. Only a few neighbours can see me. I see one of them having a little walk around their garden in their dressing gown most mornings anyway.

I also put my rubbish out in my dressing gown. That's in the front garden so pretty much visible to anyone passing. No one bats an eyelid.

During lockdown I spent a lot of time in my dressing gown. I don't think there's a single neighbour that didn't see me in my dressing gown at some point over those months.

I actually really love my dressing gown. It's so soft and comfortable.

I used to love breakfast in the garden in PJs! Nowt wrong with putting the washing out in PJs!

I go to the Co-Op in my PJs 🤣 I do draw the line at doing the school run though unlike some of the Mums at DC school

I wouldn't - partly because I live in a terrace and have a narrow garden with low walls both sides. Also the neighbours sit outside a lot, often have friends over, and I'm unlikely to be up early enough to be hanging my washing out at 8am.

We have no neighbours for at least half a mile and we're quarter of a mile,set back from the road.

I could put the washing out, naked and nobody would see. It would be just my luck the farmer would turn up in the next door field though, so I don't!

I live in mine or house only clothes if not leaving the house so I'm regularly putting the washing out in them, I even put the rubbish/recycling out in the front garden in them too and have been caught by neighbours and had chats with them whilst on pj's. I think it's gotten to the point with some of the neighbours that they'd be more surprised to see me in day clothes 😂

*disclaimer: I'm a 24/7 unpaid carer with a horrendously bad fully medicated for upper and lower back. If I dont need to wear a bra I actively avoid doing so.

I've just hung the washing pot taken out the recycling moved one car off the drive to let DH out all in my dressing gown & slippers
If I waited to get dressed the washing would never go out

PJs like loungewear ... yes. Sexy nightie ... nope.

Sounds fine, but don’t do what I did once - ie no out to get bin in and have the gate slam shut and find you are locked out 😂

I've done / do this. I've not seen either neighbour do it in 15 years.

I go as far as putting bins out in PJs. Including when we lived abroad when it was shorts and vest. But that was a panicky I can hear the lorry coming at 6am! (And we had a pooli like all our neighbours)

In England its moor likely to be the Oodie-style thing.
