The start of the slippery slope?

Oh I am SO PLEASED to read all these posts ! It happens to me too so now I sport
a matching tea towel around my front...
It matches the quilted table mats !
I do like to be colour cordinatd !! LOL.

I couldn't fall asleep sitting up if my life depended on it but spread out on a couch is another story!

Oh dear what a depressing thread. I have never dozed off in a chair in my life!, but there again if I have a coffee or whatever in the afternoon or morning I have it at the kitchen table. I guess I don't JUST sit, never watch tele so that wouldn't happen either. Is all this something to look forward to?

Oh I'm not asleep Ilrina.....food just slides off my cutlery with gay abandon and heads floorwards, interrupted in its travels only by the aforementioned bosom. Think smallest dgs and I have really bonded over our mutual ability to make messes when eating.

You're absolutely right Ilrina, this is a depressing thread. I feel really ashamed of myself. Fancy sitting down in a comfy chair with a cup of tea to watch sport. And then to cap it all, falling asleep! I shall immediately go and whitestone my front step, scrub the kitchen floor and plant potatoes.
On the other hand, I may well listen to the second episode of the serial on catch-up radio, sitting in a nice comfy chair, and doing some cross-stitch. Now, what would I most enjoy ? Gosh, I'm definitely on the downward path

Crossover pinnies are still sold on market stalls here in rural France. I'm seriously thinking of getting one, sad or what

I'm not sure a crossover pinnie is going to solve katek's crumb problem Christine. There's still an access point.

Badenkate, I did that a few weeks ago, 3 times in one day! Twice with tea, once with cold water. My excuse is a few nights of hardly any sleep, but it aint a pleasant feeling, waking up wet!

No, and a bit of a surprise numberplease, but as radicalnan pointed out, at least you hadn't drunk it first !

If I were you, I would wear old clothes to look after grandchildren.
I always do, as they inevitably get dirty.

I have a one year old g.son and no way would I be wearing anything quite as posh as a Boden dress just so he could mess it up.
I would find it quite nerve wracking. What if the stains wouldn't come out.
Ruined.

Maybe one of those Tommee Tippee bibs with the trough at the bottom might help......can you still buy them?

For me, that is....not dgs.

Your ok for the time being Badenkate. Its when you nod off and there's a warm wet feeling soaking through your skirt/ trousers and it's not tea! that you need to start worrying. I'm a napper and I have the same trouble as the rest of you. So out comes an old 'pinny' or tea towel when eating.

I bought DH just the thing from The Ideal Home show. He makes such a mess with a choc ice, ? ( I hope that's a choc ice cream! ) that when I saw them I had to buy them.

Auntieflo .Glad they're the large size!

Always had a problem with tomatoes attacking white (usually) tops no matter how careful I am. If I'm going out I don't get dressed up before going out as I will spill

Went out for DD, her OH & DGS the other week,delicious sub sandwich with gooey meatball filling - DD asked if it was tasty as I was going to take a bite, yes I replied, then looked at my blouse - I was wearing it !!!! thank goodness I was wearing a navy blouse so it didn't show

My fairly large "chest" is a magnet for food, my excuse I can't get near enough to lean over the plate

I can fall asleep if I sit very comfortably on settee (not laying down) but never have anything in my hand thank goodness

Ah, but, Victoria08, DGS2 had nothing to do with any of my mishaps, it was all just me and my usual klutziness My Boden is always bargain basement - I got an extra 10% off the clearance section, which already had 70% off. And I gave up saving things for best a long time ago. I like to enjoy them while I've got the chance

My friend always puts a big bib on her DH. He has Huntingdon's and can only just manage to feed himself. I often look at it and think "Hm! I could really do with one of those"

Deedaa i currently wear one as I can't trust my dodgy arms not to deposit my food all down my front

DH asked why I ever wear plain light coloured tops because they inevitably end up with something down them (usually before I even get through the front door on my way out).

Noodles are my problem always get at least one down me !

If I'm eating alone - which I usually am - I sometimes remember to put a napkin or even a tea towel over my frontage. Anything with tomato sauce is my downfall.

I love that word frontage Wasn't there a Mrs Frontage in Terry Wogan's Janet and John?

Last week dh and I went out for the day with friends which would include a nice lunch. I had in the car a clean top .....just in case...
(Soup, curry sauce and gravy have a mind of their own).

Also a change of footwear.

nice bit of sarcasm there Badenkate!
