What do you wear to do the housework?

[Anna8888]

I'm fed up of wearing a dressing gown , I don't want to spoil my day clothes and I don't want to wear old clothes

What should I buy that isn't depressing and unglamorous but taht I don't want to keep for outside wear?

tis heart-rending.
my heart, quite literally bleeds for you
(damn but what am I gonna wear to clean it up? )

this outfit, cat?

have been known the scrub the bathroom completely rudey-nudey....... Just be careful with the loofah!

LOL squonk was thinking of something more like this, but your outfit is much cuter...

that one you linked to is what I use when I have to go in dd1's room

Anna - I didn't have you down as a house coat person. Do you sometimes nip out for a loaf or a packet of Gauloises in your housecoat too?

swedes: this is Anna

It's a towelling bath robe - very necessary in my freezing (heating-less) early morning kitchen....

Floor is clean btw - took off my dress but left on Wolford tights and knee high black boots and put an apron on top

Anna, if you are scrubbing the floor you're not going to be cold for long.

Blimey, did it really take less than 2 mins to scrub your floor? How much do you pay your cleaner?

Generally PJs as I do stuff first thing

Isn;t Flylady all strict about wearing shoes and taking housework seriously?

"wolford tights"

lololololololololol

anna, you need to get out more. actually I think you need a job

either that or a juicy couture tracksuit

It didn't need scrubbing, only washing (with an e-cloth and Ajax). I've only done kitchen and laundry room (but they were the worst), still got under windows in main rooms plus loos and bathrooms.

Why would you scrub a floor [puzzled]?

I have a very lovely job, PPH - in fact, I was supposed to be at a very lovely meeting this pm only we had to change the date at the last minute

OMG! Er...I wear the same clothes that I put on in the morning to walk the dogs! And then wear for the rest of the day! Doing housework in them gives me the opportunity to sponge off some of the baby sick while I have a cloth handy!

But to clean the toilet I always wear my ballgown!

I thought the whole point about e-cloths was that they needed only water and elbow grease to get things clean? An e-cloth does not atone for using unkind to the environment Ajax.

I have white tiles on the kitchen floor and e-cloth plus Ajax works really well/fast. E-cloth alone doesn't deal with grease at all well IME.

Not very worried about environmental impact of Ajax - my priority is clean... Actually, it's Monsieur Propre - they've stopped selling Ajax on houra.fr for some unfathomable reason...

If the handsome Tesco delivery boy is expected, I usually wear my feather mules and a dash of Ralph Lauren perfume [innocent]

When I opened the front door to the window cleaner this morning at 7.30 am in my dressing gown, my partner (not normally here at same time as window cleaner) remarked on how intime we were

I wear whatever I've got on at the time - let's face it, that's normally jeans, but I have been known to be cleaning the loo in a ballgown.

I loathe our window cleaner. He is incredibly sexist. I would prefer to pay him not to come.

Anna, given your dilemma about what to wear, I think you just have to accept in a shrugging Gallic way that to do the the housework you must wear just Chanel no 5.

Oh I like my window cleaner - I like men doing my dirty work
