In the end I was in hospital from friday to tuesday and wore hospital gowns the first couple of nights before going into my own night clothes.

As I went straight from hospital to my sister's house where I still am until next week so any extras have been useful here.

better to have it and feel comfy than not, its only nightie - not like you encyclopedia brittanica (ooops showing me age)

I bought two night dresses and a set of pyjamas off Amazon the other night. And a kimono. So I have them. Was just wondering whether to take them all

I know I saw your post as I was awake as well

LOL! Yes best to take them incase you have any spillages or leakage & roll them into sausages so they take up less room, my provider has advised take hand luggage only so I just need a thin kimono type wrap & my clothes are sorted - got to get all my bits tho xx

Fuffs · 30th December, 2011

I bought my kimono off Yours clothing an Amazon. Was something like a tenner in the sale. They accidentally sent me a more expensive top instead of one of my night dresses......lol. They came this morning.

I will take it all. I want to get some ladies slippers. I have size 10 feet, so it can be tricky lol

I put the things in my night bag straightaway wrapped on plastic to keep the nice in case it's a bit if a wait lol

Dettol wipes next. Heard some nasty stories about some hospital cleanliness on here. Also worked for one for 5 years.....

I will go to Poundland for most stuff lol
