I have real issues with nightwear

134 replies

KatyMac · 12/06/2011 09:59

I do not like cartoon characters/cutesy slogans
I am not some sort of vamp in black/red/purple shiny nylon with scratchy lace
I don't really do pastels
I can only afford a tenner or so

So while Tesco had it's sale on yesterday I thought I'll buy a nice top to wear as a nighty

But I like it so much I want to wear it as a top (& it's not on the website so I can't show you); which brings me back to "I have real issues with nightwear"

I got some lovely PJs in Debenhams a while ago. They were black and cream, legging length bottoms and a t-shirt type top. I wear them in winter.

I also got a similar set in Sainsburys but thinner material in Sage green. I wear them in Summer.

Both interspersed with shorts/vests also from saisnburys. No pastel here.
Also large of nork so no spaghetti straps either.

Also, If getorf wants to change her bedding daily then let her do so without bitching about her fgs. I can think of things of much greater importance to br critical about.

I do mine weekly fwiw.

Are we honestly having a handbag fight over nighties, dearies?

GetOrf · 12/06/2011 16:34

Yes but is everyone's cotton from Egypt?

GetOrf · 12/06/2011 16:35

We are Ursula.

It's a proud moment.

Am sure the OP came bcak and read the thread, thought fuck this and hopped it.

I would love clean sheet every night but couldn't be bothered to do it tbh.Far too busy lining up herbs on my shelves in height order

EustaciaVye · 12/06/2011 16:37

getorf - my cotton is from Next, Sainsburys and John Lewis. I have no idea of Country of Origin.

GetOrf · 12/06/2011 16:38

Grin herbs.

I do that with spices. In specially bought little steel tins. I get annoyed with the cinammon sticks and vanilla because they don't fit in the little tins and therefore muck up the arrangements. I hide them behind the flour.

GetOrf · 12/06/2011 16:39

Mine is from Ikea, Argos and Dunelm (apart from a couple of sets from House of frase). I bet the cotton comes from Kazakhstan. And who cares?

I would love nice sheets and nice stuff for bed but ratty old manky stuff is just so comfy

GetOrf · 12/06/2011 16:43

Yes, new cotton takes a while to bed in, so to speak.

I bet whatserface would say that cotton harvested by artisans from the shores of the nile would feel smoth as a cherub's arse cheek immediately.

UrsulaBuffay · 12/06/2011 16:45

You have to fart in it a bit aswell, get it nice and nesty. Nowt's as good as your own farts, none of this egyptian stuff.

mnistooaddictive · 12/06/2011 16:57

The fact is that I hate changing sheets and do it every fortnight, but why would it upset me that someone does it everyday? As I often tell my 4 year old, all families do things differently that is ok. SJ you need to find other things to get cross about!

Librashavinganotherbiscuit · 12/06/2011 16:59

You're suppose to change your bed linen? Confused

GetOrf · 12/06/2011 17:03

Yes and you need to procure it from Egypt.

And also using 'so there' in an argument is back.

cybbo · 12/06/2011 17:16

Well I like to languish in my bum crumbs.

Put THAT in your pipe and smoke it

UrsulaBuffay · 12/06/2011 17:18

I change them when I find any of the following:

Large wet patch stain (rare)
Little twisty bit of pooey toilet roll
Excessive crumbies
Excessive pubes
Period leakage.

Apols for TMI

GetOrf · 12/06/2011 17:20

lolol 'little twisty bit of pooey toilet roll'

That would be grounds for divorce.

GetOrf · 12/06/2011 17:21

I am laughing so hard at 'large wet patch stain (rare)' that the kitten started mewing.

GetOrf · 12/06/2011 17:21

'rare'

UrsulaBuffay · 12/06/2011 17:25

I'm not sure it's him...

LilRedWG · 12/06/2011 17:28

LOL

Egyptian cotton here, dontcha know. Wink

But I fall flat on the changing - once a week here.

FriedaRoam · 12/06/2011 17:29
