If you ran out milk at 7am would you ...

[thehungryteacher]

Pop to the corner shop in joggers and scruffy t shirt and trainer. Hair in a scruffy un-brushed bun and not brushed teeth or washed face!

We only had milk for one coffee and everyone else still asleep!

Milk is not necessary in my life. I'd buy some the next time I was doing a food shop. If you're a person who can't drink tea/coffee without milk, just drink something else.

Not for milk, no - if the bf is desperate he can go himself. But going for something looking the way you describe? Sure, everyone in my local shop looks like that at that time on a Saturday morning, lol. I’d probably add in a mascara smudge or two for good measure..

I'd brush hair, quick clean teeth and probably put mascara on, but I am very pale and without mascara I look piggy eyed and as if I am coming down with the flu! I wear it even if I am home alone.

No I'd order it in. No way I'm schlepping out to the shop on a weekend morning if I don't have to. But I'm decadent and lazy and prepared to pay people to save me time and hassle. In mitigation, I always tip 😊.

Yes. In this instance it's permissable and I think most people would do it. It's not the same as doing the school run in your dressing gown and slippers, which is completely beyond the pale, even if you don't leave the car and just tip the kids out onto the pavement.

You sound like my mother, if I was going out she would tell me to put clean knickers on in case I got run over no matter how many hours they'd been on, half an hour or six hours!

Only take a few minutes to brush your teeth and brush your hair!

Well done

but I wouldn’t be able to do it - brush my hair, brush my teeth, shower, cleanse my face, moisturise face and body, a touch of tinted lip balm, a drop of perfume, jeans, suitable top and comfortable shoes. And then the shop would be closed anyway

I’d brush my teeth wash my face and brush my hair

None of those things! I’d use a carton of long-life from the emergency cupboard.

I only just caught the bin men the other day, still in my p.j’s 😳🤣

We ran out of milk 1 morning. Ex partner was away working. I forgot to get some the day before DC needed milk to help them get to sleep so we used the last the evening before.

I quickly shoved yesterday's clothes on can't remember what. But it was summer & warm. I left the DC in their PJ's they were shortie one's just looked like shorts and t-shirts. Shoved some shoes on them and we ran down the st about 7am. The DC have autism I didn't think they would be happy their routine was disrupted. But they were fine with our little outing.

I couldn't go out without brushing my teeth. The rest fair enough

It would take about 35 minutes there and back so no. I have made a resolution to always have a pint in the freezer. However this is a new thing. We do have a milkman though. Glass bottles as well!

I'd send DH. Otherwise, sounds fine to me. I give you grooming points for bothering to twist your hair up.

Depends how close the shop is to your house and how well the staff in the shop know you!!

Yes I would but usually cannot be arsed. Emergency coffee whitener in cupboard. Kids get toast

No. I'd brush my teeth and hair and wash my face. I don't own joggers, trainers or a scruffy tee shirt.

To be fair, I'd use the milk that was left for a quick cuppa, have a shower, dry my hair and get dressed for the day. Takes about 15 minutes. Then make hot drinks for all who wanted them.

In reality, I'd bung the emergency milk from the freezer to defrost in the microwave whilst doing that.

It is in my house!

Yeah I’d do this. I’m in trackies and hoodie a lot of the time anyway so I’d just look like I’d usually do

I often wonder what they think of me in the corner shop (a minute’s walk from home)…
They see me fallen out of bed in PJs, smart work wear, jeans, joggers, full-on dressed up for a night out!
I’ve found that since I hit a certain age I just don’t care what others think of me & it’s SO liberating 🤣

Have you never seen Sean of the Dead?

Of course.

I'd leave the milk for the other two people, then go to the shop unwashed in a tiger print 14 yr old Primark onesie, and buy my bottle of pinot and my fags for the day, then go home and go back to sleep. Ignoring the pile of cat vomit on the hall floor on my way both in and out.
That's if I was ever up at such an ungodly hour. 🤣

Yes all of that but no slippers as they’re for the house and I don’t want to walk outside in them! Who cares if teeth are brushed?!

I would go/and have gone in my pyjamas with big coat over the top.

Would brush my teeth but hair is always wild and curly. Nobody would notice.
