What's your version of 'THE DRESSING GOWN OF DOOM'?

[LoveWillGetYouThere]

I'm sat here feeling sorry for myself with a UTI or maybe a kidney infection. I've an appointment in an hour and I was just thinking about how rare it is that I'm poorly to the point where I just need to sleep for a few hours in the day. Then I realised that whenever I'm ill instead of the 'dressing gown of doom' that my husband (and many other men) default too mine is that I take my contact lenses out and only wear my glasses 🙈😂

No one? Ah well I'm now on antibiotics so hopefully I'll be back in contacts in no time!

Some navy Joules 'lounge pants' - reserved for illness only!

Saggy tits of doom?

No bra if I'm under the weather.

I have this long, soft cardigan with a hood that I wear. It’s the only time I put it on.

A baggy hoody & leggings. And no bra, crop top only.

Massive oversized hoodie fluffy pyjama bottoms and fluffy bed socks - even in summer!

Old Gap long cardi of doom AND glasses instead of lenses.

I have the şalvar of sadness. Sleep in them, get fat in them, they just expand and shrink and go everywhere with me.

-fake- Oodie of doom

Baggy trackie bottoms from primark with motivational mottos printed on them that DP mocks me relentlessly for, but they're baggy, soft and comfy so fuck him.

I have some Boden yoga pants and as n old hoody that only ever come out when I’m feeling really poorly.

DH has some very old and saggy navy joggers. My heart sinks when they come out!

😂😂😂I loooove this one! And if it weren't for none underwired bras I'd be joining you!

Oodie and stained joggers.

I'll definitely be putting my comfy trackie bottoms and baggy top on after the school run. My jeans feel so restrictive. Luckily I bunged two bags of leek and potato soup mix in the slow cooker before my emergency appt so the teens can sort that for their tea whilst I hide in bed. Which is another thing my husband doesn't do when he's unwell. He will be poorly but where everyone can see 😂

I’m home with Covid, I also have saggy tits of doom (no bra).
I don’t have an item of clothing I always wear when ill I just dress for comfort.

Fake oodie, that I slashed down the front as it felt suffocating around my neck. The kangaroo pocket is now redundant and it picks up loads of loose threads. It looks truly disgusting, but is so comfy and warm. I hv to throw it off before answering the front door!!!

A Dunelm koala blanket. I shuffle round with it over my shoulders and snooze beneath it whimpering for sympathy.

My Jack Wills jogging bottoms which I've had for 10 years..I only wear them when I'm poorly or depressed.

I'm wearing them today :(

My husband's old Superdry hoodie - I saved it from the bin nearly two decades ago and still love it - with my soft, fluffy leggings and slippers.

I have a gorgeous, soft, warm dressing gown, but won't spend all day in it in case I have to answer the door.

Coincidentally DH is off sick today, and I know he's actually properly ill as he's actually stayed in bed instead of roaming around making sure we all know how poorly he is!

🤣

Yes. No bra, hoodie and droopy boobs of doom = I’m genuinely sick.

DH has an old pair of joggers that he calls his “poorly pants” (yes, he is a functioning adult most of the time!). He will plod on through most illnesses but if they go on, I know it’s serious!!

I have an old fleece that is over 15 years old from my uni days where I volunteered to help at campus visits. It' just really baggy and comfy so I've hung onto it.

Across the back is written in big letters "HELP". So still fit for purpose.

I have an old discarded fleece my son left. Considering he's 6" 6 and built like a brick outhouse ( and I'm not 😁) it's almost a dressing gown of doom on me. My other sons threaten to burn it.

The pink hot waterbottle.
