Yes, I know WB. Which is why I responded.

I occasionally post on the 'What are you wearing threads' just to provide contrast.

thequeenofcontradiction · 24/05/2007 17:23

actually what are fatigues?

frenchleave · 24/05/2007 17:24

Combats?

hunkermunker · 24/05/2007 17:26

Why do all your clothes have names? Can't you just wear something called "shirt" and something else called "skirt"?

Bit tragic if you have to flaunt your labels, no?

Ds is wearing just a nappy of course! What is the point in dressing him if I stay at home? {well I stay at home 2 days and 3 afternoons a week , so does that count?}
As for me, just wear the first thing I find in my huge collection of clothes.

thequeenofcontradiction · 24/05/2007 17:32

yes but what LABEL of nappy?

mumfor1standfinaltime · 24/05/2007 17:36

Pampers..of course.
However he does sometimes wear huggies.

He used to wear motherease, tell me - which is best?
