Hi all, I have to put drying racks upstairs in town (in open plan dining/sitting area) because things don't dry quickly enough downstairs in basement as it's too cold. It's a right pain because wms are in basement and sitting room looks like a laundry half the time and I'm forever carrying laundry paniers etc up and down stairs
It's 25 years since dh and I walked down the aisle war crimes sentence 
and we were together on and off for over a decade before that. We were intending to host a bash to celebrate this summer (along with DD's 16th) but dd didn't want a party (she travelled and had friends over instead) , we were quite busy, I'm still recovering from op (although much better) and it's still too much of a /building site mud-pile here and we needed funds for other things such as mahoosive drainage channel!
As for clothing, I wear anything that can be bought on-line and doesn't involve visiting an actual shop usually a simple "uniform" which consists of wide legged yoga pants/ratty polo tops/trainers indoors with gilet for warmth, and usually an apron over the top and for outside it's slightly newer/better wide legged trews or coloured "old lady" jeans, worn with loafers , thin long sleeved polo top usually Esprit, Uniqlo cardi (they are about £40 quid for basic model and I buy the same one every two years and wear it to death) and gilet/scarf for warmth because I hate heavy coats. Sizes have expanded considerably over the years and "uniform" doesn't look good now I am fat but I CBA to change, plus it's comfy! .
My one concession to respectability is to have one winter "going out" outfit and one summer one which includes tights, shoes, jewellery, bag whatever, which I can dress up or down, to get me through any special events (don't go to many nowadays) then I don't have to worry. Hate hate having to buy for specific wedding or whatever so I'm with you there Zoo. I'm sure you will look really fab in whatever you choose though because you will be such a lovely beaming proud ma! 
At wreck2 I only take an interest in what I wear on my feet such as muck boots, boots for mud & ice, boots with steel toe caps for when d🐎is being shod - all worn with wooly socks - because without the right footwear life is unsafe and miserable. The rest is a collection of summer/winter scraggy old jeans and casual tops. And again more gilets with ripped pockets covered in horse drool for warmth.
Thanks for kind words about DD. She's on the mend I think. DH and I haven't caught it (yet!) and I hope we don't because it's a really nasty one! DH was just snoozing because we spent a large part of Fri night in the local hospital with DD.
Spent the day walking the dogs in high winds (furry ears flapping wildly ) feeding DD tiny bits of toast and trying to erect IKEA shelving wish I hadnt started latter.
Laputa & Zoo hope you feel better soon!
🙋 to everyone!
