MRSBADGER I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!

[Cappuccino]

oh my pink squall parka is here

£28 including postage

god it is so warm and it does not make me look like a pillow - in fact I look rather lovely if I do say so myself

I have never been able to afford a coat that feels like it will keep me warm before now; I no longer fear the approaching winter

you are my new favourite person

if ever you need anything I am completely in your debt

Is it straight up and down or is there a little bit of fitted-ness (not a word, I know) to it ?

Hmmm, she looks like she's more used to porn seams than princess seams.

Plus I don;t really 'do' scarves, I assume you mean scarves of the chiffony tie jauntily at the neck variety

That is a rather inappropriate pose, you're right ladymac

it is quite straight, but so long as you are not (iyswim) is is actually rather flattering

I'm not.

Maybe I'll order one and give it a go

no no, ones to keep your neck warm
I don't do chiffony either

Yes, I do the neck warming ones.

I am very tempted with this - looks like just the thing for standing on a footballl touchline at weekends

What are their sizes like?

It seems to say that a M is a 10/12 and an L is a 14/16.

Hijack, sorry.

lilibet, sorry been busy and away from computer, will go back to thread re older mums to answer your question.

yes but that is american sizes
and they cut generously

I am a 10-12 and the Small is fine

I am a 12, a big 12/small 14 on fat days. I guess a M would be fine ?

would the le one be good even for short people? I am 5 ft... tempted by the blue....

I have the elastic pulled in a bit

otherwise I am box shaped

it is okay
