my clothes are covered in snail trails

Just getting through the first cold of the winter and am already completely fed up with trying to keep my clothes/ bedclothes/sofas clean.

I've got a one-year-old who wipes his nose all over me and my three year old isn't much better. By eight o'clock in the morning I have snot-trails over anything clean I put on and even baby wipes aren't much use. It's not so bad for the kids, people expect them to rub their noses on their sleeves but I feel so manky.

Some women seem to swear by keeping their pyjamas on all day and to be honest I'm beginning to see where they're coming from. Thinking seriously of buying a hairdressers smock to wear over my clothes for the next six months.

Has anyone else ever considered this or has anyone any dark secrets like wearing a housecoat or a tabard behind closed doors?

My DH suggested a tabard when I was whingeing about being covered in carrot, butternut squash, sweet potato etc... (we're weaning). I mean seriously I'm 33 not 73!

Um... wear lighter coloured clothes? Perhaps in green...

I know what you mean though- my toddler thinks it's hilarious to wipe his nose on me Hmm

Ooh, I have a lovely 1950's housecoat!

I'm resigned to looking like a tramp. Went to my mate's next door for a quick glass of wine earlier. She had her glamorous, childless friends round. I realised that I had snot, toothpaste and some of DS's dinner on my cardy and I know some of them noticed too. I could see them thinking 'she's really let herself go'.

Just they bloody wait.
