to ask you how to do the school run in wet weather!

No car. School run takes 30mins with my 5yo walking v slowly. For me, it's 15 mins on my own. That's twice a day 5 times a week back and forwards.

Buses are getting expensive. I hate the cold, I hate the wet, I think I would be better off living in a desert!

I get cold really easily and the wind stresses me out.

I've just bought some walking shoes but what do you wear when it's cold / wet? For me two pairs of trousers isn't enough!!

Ideally we'd do the school run come rain or shine but I can't face it at the moment...

I know everyone on here and probably in public thinks I'm a wanker.

BUT I wear a dryrobe, and sometimes DC does as well if the weather is really shitty.

I am always cold, so it keeps me warm, it keeps me dry, almost with waterproof boots. I also wear it swimming/body or paddle boarding so it's not an extra expense.

When DS started primary I boughtba really good seasalt raincoat with a proper peaked hood. But I was always freezing in it. Never so in my dryrobe so I rarely wear it now.

With DS on a very wet day I can pull his off him carry it home and leave him at school with his normal coat and reasses in the afternoon if I need to bring it back. (No room at school for atoring such a bulky coat)
