or is it just where I live? everyone is wandering around in pjs, go to the shop someone's there in pjs, bobbing out of each others houses in pjs, kids on the park not dressed. I don't even like putting the bin out in my pjsGrin am I missing a new craze or something

I use to go everywhere in my PJs, then I moved to England and people would stare at me, one man made a comment to me and made me feel even more horrible and self conscious. I have yet to wear PJs outside again.

EVERYBODY makes snap judgements against people who somehow go against their own personal code.

I am sure the Virgin Mary slagged off Balthazar's sandals after he dropped the gift off.

Usual is the one of the least judgemental mumsnetters on here, but I bet if I had a baby tomorrow and named it Ethel she would roll her eyes at me dahn the Internet [grin\

I want to get some PJs now so that I can wear them outside the house and be tutted at. I am SO boring now I am a respectable middle-aged laydee.

usualsuspect · 12/06/2013 21:54

If you called your baby Ethel I would be in turmoil trying not to judge you Grin

If you get on the train to Liverpool from Euson, you will often see women with their hair in rollers. It takes them the entire 2 hour journey to put their 'face' on & when they get off at the other end they look like the girls off Scouse wives. So it's the other way round there. I have put light makeup on the train but I haven't got the courage to put on a full face & go out in rollers.

LeGavrOrf · 12/06/2013 21:55

Grin at Ethel.

I always park In those parking spaces, I used to do so when I had a red convertible for maximum twat value. Nobody ever said anything. It's a bloody outrage.

usualsuspect · 12/06/2013 21:56

My mum always went on errands in her rollers and headscarf.

LeGavrOrf · 12/06/2013 21:58

I was most impressed at a young girl who put on false eyelashes on te central line at rush hour, she didn't even need a mirror.

If I out lipstick on without a mirror I look like Bette Davis in Mary Jane.

usualsuspect · 12/06/2013 21:59

I never knew where she went though, she always said im just going on an errand.

claraschu · 12/06/2013 21:59

I just sleep in my clothes. How low class is that?

It was always a surprise in coronation street when thingy (what's her bloody name) took her rollers out and went down the rovers. She had her rollers in more often than not,

LeGavrOrf · 12/06/2013 22:01

Haha at looking like an Ethel.

Ilovemyself · 12/06/2013 22:02

Oh calm down MrsDevere. You know nothing about me. But if you want to know so you can stop your judgement - I grew up in a broken family, lived in council houses and on a council caravan estate in the 70's. and my family has voted labour all their life.

I couldn't have had a much more working class upbringing.

And my comment that I am sure you are a lovely person was meant as a compliment. That you may be getting the hump about this but I am sure are actually quite nice with good character.

I don't want to piss you off any more. If i comment any more we will only just wind each other up even more. Enjoy the rest of your evening Flowers

I decided society was doomed the day i saw a grown woman in a onesie and trainers on the platform at kings cross.
I don't understand the whole going out in pyjamas thing-i don't wear underwear under pyjamas so are all these people bra and knickerless? Doesn't that detract from the comfort factor? Aren't they worried about their nipples and bum cracks showing? What about period staines?!?

I've come to the conclusion i've thought far too much about this and i need to buy some new pyjamas....

BriansBrain · 12/06/2013 22:10

I haven't seen anyone in their pjs but the teenage girls here eat baby food straight out of the jar as a meal.

Apparently it is high in nutrients but very low in calories.

I've tried to tell them it's better to purée your own but they won't listen.

LeGavrOrf · 12/06/2013 22:12

Onesies are so uncomfortable. I am long waisted, but they are in the same class as swimsuit I.e. wedgie creating and crap.

Dd loves hers but she bought at XXL blokes one. With sponge bob on it. Which makes me FRIGHTENED that there are enough XXL men in the world who love sponge bob to warrant Asda making the blood things.

Just where you live.

Except my neighbour, sometimes, when walking the dog.

You've got a genuine LOL (ok, a loud giggle) from me there. :D

LeGavrOrf · 12/06/2013 22:19

I think we should play working class credentials.

AgathaF · 12/06/2013 22:28

Pyjamas are for bed. Clothes are for day. That is the natural order.
