have read bit of thread...

i have no exercise clothes, i exercise in my pjs first thing (though i do put a bra on first!)

i have no work clothes. i do work, but it doesn't matter what i look like and there is no dress code

i have no umbrella. i lose them and so have given up.

will continue reading now and see what else i don't have...

lol at pointers turning japanese

oh god i have no crocs. and no desire for them either. no slips/petticoats. no nighties. and no gilet type thing either. i had one last year but it just made me feel like i was primed to fall overboard at any moment. v uncomfortable.

i do not have waterproof trousers, oddly enough. if it is peeing it down i wear short skirts with tights and wellies under raincoat, that way the only thing that gets wet is tights and they dry v quick.

fashion tip of the day dontcha know

I don't possess any skirts or dresses, but I'm going to be a mother of the bride soon so I'm going to have to be brave and buy something floaty (I'm sure I'll look like a man in drag, but hey ho, it's only for one day!)
