That's how long it took me to get dressed this morning. No unusually difficult bits of clothing. No make up. Just knickers, trousers, socks, shoes and blouse.
Nothing is particularly bad. It's just that all the usual difficult bits were even more so for no good reason. The socks alone took 20 mins, much pulling, tugging and swearing and, by the time I'd finished fighting them, I'd no energy left for the poppers on my blouse so, after a short struggle, I conceded defeat and enlisted the help of Mr SW for them and the shoe straps.
Looking on the bright side, I've already had a fair bit of exercise before breakfast

Funnily enough I just had to assist a huge bee out my conservatory with the help of a cushion! And that took all of 5mins and now I'm totally knackered!! Arthritis the gift that keeps on giving!!!
Life is such fun isn't it?
Take it easy, Stickster.
It does sound as though that was your workout for the day...hope getting undressed this evening is easier.

One of my sticking points re dressing/undressing is getting my trouser leg over my heel when undressing. Once its over my heel everything is easier but sometimes even sitting down, its difficult to guide it over. In a moment of desperation last week I lifted my long handled shoe-horn and was amazed how good a job it did. Just let the undone trousers drop as far down the leg as they will, then sit down and slide the shoe-horn inside the trouser leg and over your heel. Works a treat.
hope you've recovered from your ordeal.

Slosh – naturism? Hm. I think I might need to go and live with my son in California for that. Besides, Mr SW deserves better
Slomo – buy a sock putter onner. They save lots of time and energy. Well, they used to :roll: That was with the sock putter onner :oops:

Sometimes I think I am far too willing to live in my nightie :oops: but that's usually thanks to this.
:too-hot:
I hope you can disrobe this evening in at least half that time. Good luck old girl! ( As we say in this household.) DD
