Not strictly Christmas thread but you lot might be less scornful - Snow Boots..

[smellylittleorange]

that I have ordered in the next sale have arrived and I love them they are warm and snuggly and I want to go and find my fluffy red jumper!!

OMG now I am thinking of the possibility of getting a white christmas (impossible on South Coast) and trudging round to my friends Christmas Eve to drink mulled wine! OOh how lovely that would be.

I bought some snow boots last year from Trespass (2 for dc and a pair for me) and I didn't get the chance to bally well wear them.

So I fully intend for there to be snow this year. (Bet the DC have grown out of theirs by now -pah)

A few years back ,on the hottest day of the year (mid August) I bought a lovely ,thick, fleece lined long winter coat from Sainsburys for my DD.
The checkout woman was , but I didn't care because I had the size I wanted, DD loved the coat and I didn't have to rush round searching in December.

I bought DS's winter coat in size 12-18 months when he was 6 weeks old. In my defence, it was in the sale at Sainsburys, is an absolutely beautiful brown cord duffle coat and was half price with a further 25% off in a clothing event which meant I got it for £4.30

I kitted myself and ds out last year with snow boots because the last few years we were caught out with the heavy snow.

They were never worn. I was and :( .

I'm going to treat myself to some country boots this winter. I've seen a lovely, snug looking pair that would be fab for walking the dog in. And I can justify the price because they'd be needed in the rain as well as the snow so guaranteed opportunities to wear them!

I bought my DD 2 pairs of those Next suede boots (in the sale £15 a pair).
I got her ladies size 3.5.
She loves them and has been happily moseying round in them (in July /August)

must admit DD is V jealous I have promised to buy her some in September her feet will just grow otherwise.

Just to add Reindeer brooch I have ordered off ebay has arrived and I love it !!
I have also got all my Christmas mags out my christmas notebook and am using this morning to write various lists! DD is using the morning to go through the Argos catalogue !

I ordered 3 pairs from next sale too last month-lovely!
