I've put my winter coat on for the first time this season.
I found a pair of gloves and half a packet of halls throat sweets (cherry)
What have been your finds?

Ooh, my time to shine! I'm a 30 year old professional woman, but going by the contents of my pockets, you'd think I was a nine year old boy.

Put my winter coat on this week and found two old snotty tissues, a lip balm, a coffee receipt and about fifty pence in shrapnel.

Just realised I’ve put this on a post about winter coats...sorry I’m new ☺️

Heaviestdirtyestsoul was it dead or alive though?

I've still barely got a jumper on hardcore

Baguetteaboutit · 02/10/2019 09:23

It was 3 degrees when I left the house this morning. I bypassed the jumper stage and went straight to the winter coat.

MarianaMoatedGrange · 02/10/2019 09:24

Boringly, gloves and a lip balm. No cash Sad

Poo bags, old titties, half a packet of melted, sticky Soothers and a hairdressers appointment card

elloelloello · 02/10/2019 09:26

OMG, my phone!

Old tissues!!!

troppibambini · 02/10/2019 09:32

A fruitella, a tenner and wise old elf.

MarianaMoatedGrange · 02/10/2019 09:33

old titties Grin

My old titties are still attached to my chest!

@elloelloello wins the thread so far!

MarianaMoatedGrange · 02/10/2019 09:35

@troppibambini does the tenner belong to the wise old elf?

Livebythecoast · 02/10/2019 09:35

@elloelloello - I spat my coffee out reading that!.
I found some poo bags which confused me slightly as I don't have a dog Confused.
Then I remembered I did some volunteer dog walking last year!

Damntheman · 02/10/2019 09:47

I'll be getting mine out soon, my autumn coat isn't really coping with 3 degrees of a morning. I'm REALLY hoping I'll find the spare car keys! But may need to also get the snow trousers out for that, haven't seen them since I was shoveling snow out of my driveway last March. Wish me luck!

RingtheBells · 02/10/2019 10:04

Old tissues, probably used and a couple of old receipts, winter coat came out a few weeks ago as I went to Iceland on hols, so have a head start on the winter wear

steppemum · 02/10/2019 11:09

haven't got mine out yet, but eveyr single pocket I possess contains screwed up tissue and dog poo bags.

my life is so glamorous!

Solongtoshort · 02/10/2019 12:23

My wedding and engagement ring, only just found them this morning.

I feel so bad because my dd 3 had a spate of going in to my jewellery box and looking at my “treasure” not that l have much. I was so upset and my dh bought me an eternity ring as we spent months looking for them. I don’t really know how to tell dh. I also don’t know what reason l have had to take them off and put in my pocket.

steppemum · 02/10/2019 13:08

Oh that is brilliant though Solongtoshort I'm sure your dh will be delighted you've foudn them!

Tickets to panto dated 2017

allthegoodusernameshavegone · 02/10/2019 13:40

An old paper fiver, can this still go to a bank?

Angelika321 · 02/10/2019 13:47

My Gucci watch which I thought I'd lost.

ShirleyPhallus · 02/10/2019 13:48

I really hope these are all being pulled out of storage to go to the dry cleaner’s, cos the stink of a collection of last year’s musty coat on the train in the morning is something to behold!

Limer · 02/10/2019 13:52

allthegood Yes - I found an old £10 in my coat pocket last year, and my bank exchanged it for a new one.

Baguetteaboutit · 02/10/2019 13:54

Out of storage? I live in the North East, it lives by the front door.

EdersonsSmileyTattoo · 02/10/2019 13:55

I pulled my winter coat out for washing the week ready for Winter, I found a folded up £20, 2 used hand warmers, a couple of bobbles, and loads of those black bits that come off artificial football pitches!

Nottobesoldseparately · 02/10/2019 13:57

A box of Orange and Lime tic tacs. Plus dog poo bags.

I've got another couple of coats to go at, but I don't think there will be anything in those except gloves and more poo bags!

inwood · 02/10/2019 17:33

£20 last year, so delighted! Haven't been in the loft yet this year to get the coats out, who knows!!
