For my self and husband we are happy to slob about the croft in the same clothes for days, but the kids go to school and the last thing you want is for someone to call your kids the "smelly kids". In holidays I have been known to eye up their socks on suspission of being on for more than a week ;) If the power went, everyone one would be in the same boat and we would all go back to haveing work clothes and best clothes again :) @coffee Catholic I think th problem with morden living is the expectations re: clothes.

Erlend was interested but we have to pass as we haven't had time to prepare. He said it'd be "fine" ~ "We'd gist light the fire, have a stash o' sandwhiches, an' enjoy wurselves!" That's when I pointed out to him that our entire trunk of emergency candles was up at the other farm... so is the tilley lantern. Guess we'd better get stuff stationed down here at our farm so it's close at hand. You never know if the roads will get closed with snow drifts!! ACarLessFamily: Are you talking about going without power forever or just during a power outtage? If it would be a forever thing you'd be AMAZED by how swiftly your wardrob diminishes! If we went powerless or suffered some kind of disaster (or the oil ran out or what have you) and we faced long term powerlessness then a mangle it would be ~ with about 1/16th of our present wardrobe!! Even now, to minimize on laundry, I use work dresses with denim aprons and denim cuffs and hems. I try not to work in my regular clothes.
