I'm cold, nothing fits,I've got no money and I feel tired.

Neary 70, size 14, short , hour glass. Had it.

If I had a gauntlet I'd throw it down now.

You’ve probably done this @bafta16but call Age UK 08000556112 - you should not be cold and have no money. I’m assuming you’re on a state pension but there are all sorts of top ups to help you, they will help you to get what you are due.

That's really kind of you. I expect I'm not the only person scraping by. No extra in the kitty. I do " feel the cold".

OP do you have anything you can sell on Vinted? Even if you only get a few pounds for each item, you could build up a small fund there to then buy a few things to cheer yourself up.

Depends if you can get out easily to post stuff though.

Most important thing you’ll ever wear is your smile so sod the rest!

I admire the spirit of this.

Anyhow, turns out there is a God after all. Wide leg trousers from M and S, different lengths black and copper colour. Sorry can't do pictures.

This time of year in the UK becoming a dressing gown person is a completely valid lifestyle choice IMO! (points for how many extra layers you can fit underneath it!).
TBH Im spending more time rocking the outdoor pajama look lately, for me thats wide legged joggers and massively oversized tees and sweatshirts (all Primarks finest!!LOL).
My advice is if you see the sun take yourself out for a walk somewhere green or outdoorsy....it always cheers me up!😉
