Your comment about the haberdashery made me laugh. There is a haberdashery not too far away from us, and my dad and husband are obsessed with it. They offer sharp suits, expensive hats, and they'll give you a shave. Apparently they have been there so many times they are on first name terms with the workers. And they both now have fedoras from the haberdashery that they like to wear. One of my brothers even has a tophat from them. And I swear part of the reason is because they like saying "Heimie's Haberdashery." It does roll off the tongue :-) Great answers! Your comment about the haberdashery made me laugh.

Mariel, you're welcome too! I love that you have dance *parties* in your car: that's even better. That's funny you grew up near High Wycombe!! Andi, I love you call them comfies: great word for it. :D

Rebecca, you’re welcome!

Its my first, so I'm very chuffed! Your site certainly deserves it too. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with singing and dancing in the car! I do it all the time, usually in the morning on the way to work. Four girls in a car swinging their hair around and screeching at the top of our lungs...must be a sight! I grew up near High Wycombe! Small world. I love travelling and have lived in many different countries, but I find that its given me a greater appreciation of Britain and that I might actually want to settle here after all.

I change into my comfies as soon as I get home. Started when I was little, and I've carried it through into adulthood. I’m totally an outside/loungewear person!

Dew, isn't WP annoying? I didn't realise I couldn't edit the code unless I pay when I moved. Oh well. That's a clever approach to hiking clothes: I don't hike, but I think that's what I'd do! Chartroose, that's the good part about being an Air Force brat. ;) Emily, Edinburgh and St. Petersburg tie in my mind for favourite city! That's so neat you wear hats to church. Andi, I've answered the bet thing on your blog. ;) Strands of pearls woven in would be gorgeous! Melody, aww-thanks! And I grew up in the military. Mrs. S., it looks like it took a lot of work! I'm glad I got to give you your first award. :) Nik, thanks! Verbivore, great! Now we both need to make a bunch of money, and then it'll come true. :) Nancy, I was an Air Force brat, so we moved around a bit! And Edinburgh is just the best. :D Care, aww-thanks! I just think gloves are so classy: it's one of the few good things about winter, imo. Megan, totally with you on the car thing! And lol @ real clothes. I tend to wear a lot of skirts and dresses, but I do get cranky when I pull on jeans just out of the wash. So not comfy.

It's so funny because when you're in there you feel like you're all alone, but then it dawns on you that people in other cars might be watching you dancing like a nut.... LOL. I change clothes as soon as I get home every day, too. The only problem is that I wear surgical scrubs which are pretty comfy to work and then I come home and put on comfy clothes, and then when I have to put on "real" clothes I get kind of cranky because I feel all confined.
