At the local supermarket near me, it is not unusual to see women actually doing their shopping, wearing PJs. Similarly, if you are unfortunate enough to be near the school gates of the local primary school, not unusual to see a few women still wearing their PJs while delivering their offspring off.

When I started to look for houses in the Merseyside/Halton/St Helens area one of my criteria in judging areas was the "PJ factor"
based on how many people (normally women) I saw walking around the streets wearing pyjamas - normally with a dressing gown but not always

The lower the number the more likely I was to look for a house there

The area where my wife lived at the time scored quite a high number
- oh and had had 2 murders in the last few years
- oh - and it you went a few raods over you found quite a few TV stars - OK people who had been on Jeremy Kyle - sometimes several times
Her road was actually a nice place to live - the estate however had places with "a reputation" - these areas had a higher "PJ factor"

anyway - enough of me rambling - there is F1 on the telly

I even get embarrassed answering the door in my PJs. Can't imagine going outside in them!

I have had porridge with pitted dates and half a banana sliced into it before microwaving. For extra decadence I added a spoonful of Mrs Darlingtons " Extra Ginger " ginger jam. I then had a hot buttered hot cross bun. I'm gazing out the window at the torrential rain and can hear thunder in the distance.

Barnet,
I had to go out on the bike to pick an item up for MrsP's upcoming birthday, a new Kindle, and it was still raining. It looks like it's going to be one of those days when it doesn't actually get properly light.
The domestics have been done and I am now watching the Tour of UAE on Eurosport.

I had to remove the main door - right hand one.
The top hinge bush had gone. They only come as a part of a complete hinge kit from Rangemaster .......... at around 70 quid a pop!
Stuff that! It's a twopenny part, so I turned up a new one out of a piece of hard nylon rod. Job's a good 'un. Saved myself well over a ton. :okay:
