in my choice of clothes for weekend away?

[bananaandcustard]

we are going to Cornwall for the weekend, so thought I would pop in to Primart and buy something, possibly reduced to wear.

After aimlessly walking around brought a nice purple raincoat and 5 pairs of knickers, one with Jurassic world on them.

I think I have been very sensible. But it is August, what do you think?

Is the raincoat one of them see through ones? Cos you might need to wear more than Dinosaur knickers under it, if it is.

its not see through, I am however a rather tall person, so coat is a little short on me.

knickers are of the 'shorts' design, so very comfy.

I bought a down jacket today and put it st?raight on. I'm in Dorset.

You forgot the trainer socks. Have you no sense of occasion?

I suppose on reflection the phrase 'all fur coat and no knickers' is more upmarket than my primart raincoat and dinosaur pants.

should I strive for greater sophistication and wear a bra and trainer socks?

No bra. Holidays are a chance to relax.

Unless your boobs will hang underneath the hem of the raincoat.

well, Gobbynorthernbird, if i went a whole weekend without a bra my nipples would be poking out cats eyes as I walked down the street.
Gravity and the large breast can be very cruel, not to say painful.

I wake each morning desperate to put my bra on to control them, and end the day equally desperate to remove the bra and sag into bed. They then spend the whole bedtime lolling around and attempt to smother hubby while we sleep.

I think it sounds like a charming ensemble. Be sure to leave the price tags on so that people can see what a good bargain shopper you are.

By the time I had my fourth child, my breasts were distensible enough that I could breastfeed a child in the next room while standing in the kitchen doing dishes.

Nowadays I roll them up into a very powerful bra, operated by an electric pulley and gear system.

Zille77 I firmly believe that when we are very old ladies we shall not catch cold and go the way of a chest infection. Our breasts well used and floppy will be sensibly used as scarves during the nasty winter months.

I use mine as a hairband on days when I don't have time for a morning shower.

Do you have a nice pair of sandals, so that you can master (mistress?) that English summer raincoat and sandals, covering all the options look?

We could each use one as a scarf, and let a small-breasted friend use the other, on wintry walks.

sandals! I knew I forgot something!

Silly OP - a mac and dino pants are what you buy for a weekend in Dorset, where it never stops sodding raining on the Jurassic coast. For Cornwall, you should have got something with a crimped hem in tribute to the noble pasty, and pants depicting an open air theatre. Try harder next time.

I spent this afternoon packing for our trip to Bournemouth and regretfully put my wonderful new TMWWNBBFN Difference Engine t-shirt back in the drawer as it has a naughty word on it, which DS would otherwise loudly read out and object to at the breakfast table...

Dammit my primark didn't have the jurassic knickers in my size!! I consoled myself with the pajamas instead.
I very nearly bought an olaf raincoat reduced to£3 in mine until best friend gave me 'that' look.

Enjoy your holiday. I am however still upset so I hope you shart your knickers

I'm quite jealous of your Jurassic World knickers

Are the pants comfortable? I want dino pants.

It looks as if Jurassic knickers will become a Thing, like the MN scarf. MNers will be able to recognise each other and bond in gym changing rooms (do any shops have communal changing rooms these days?) the length and breadth of the country.

the pants are very comfy thank you and well worth the £2.50
I also brought a pair with what looks like a FAB lolly on. I love those ice lollies so had to buy one of those.

didnt buy the frozen themed thong though, as I dont much care for Olaf.

I am not, like Zillie planning to share the warmth of my boobs in old age, am going to sling one around me like a scarf and tuck my hands under my other udder to keep my fingers toasty in cold weather.

I'm going to tie a pair to my car ariel like a Mumsnet flag.

If they're not sold out by now, I may buy multiple pairs to make that other MN essential, bunting.
