is it time to pull out the kid's winter coats d'you think?

[themildmannneredjanitor]

boys have been wering their cotton lined waterproofs but it's starting to fel very chilly now.

ds1 needs a new coat-ds2's from last year should be ok.

but if i pull them out now-will they feel the benefit whenit gets REALLY cold?

also vests? it's roasting in school so will vests be too much? but cold outside? it's all a bit of a conundrum.

Yep sent dd off in last year's coat today. Hopefully it will see her through the winter.

Yes. It was freezing this morning. Don't think they wear them at all once they get to school as it warms up but the walk to school is v nippy.

mine have been wearing theirs since start of term

we are in vests, but not coats yet - they wear fleecy hoodies with body warmers over the top - this should do til I find some nice winter coats for less that £40 a pop.....

have seen nice puffa jacket thing for ds2 in zara for 12.99!!!!

I am going for the techno approach this year
ie fleece then relatively light waterproof/windproof on top
can wear either layer alone or together dependent on conditions

I am a vests fan but not yet imo unless you are in the north maybe?

mine have all gone in iwth winter coats today.

Tis blardy freeezing!

mine are in vests,winter coats and hats!

wow heeseasrnie! where are you?
i am in the north yes. it hailed all afternoon yesterday. very chilly indeed.

I got ds3 a great puffa jacket from BHS....
it was one of my best bargains of all time.

£3.60 and it FAB

outer layer from POP

I usually try to hold off with the winter coats until after half term. But it was chilly this morning...

hail

not Vests yet tho'.

It's cold out, but the sun shining thru windows makes it warm inside.

Save vests for those bitter grey damp days when the winter has really got going.

My dd wears a vest all year round unless it's about 90 in the shade .

I've put her into last year's coat which should tide her over until Christmas.

lol cornwall.were holding off on gloves and scarfs for a bit though

oooh nice stuff on pop website.
any ideas where i could get something like this in a size 6? adult six?

winter coats here today.

bright and sunny at last, but there is a pretty strong breeze and it's about 9 degrees.

our nursery takes them out in all weathers so they're both in vests, too.

mmj - I'm getting teh Zara puffa for ds1 after my friend told me about it.

Tis v. cold here this week. Boys have really needed a coat but ds1 only has a raincoat atm - poor thing!

I've been wearing my winter coat for a fortnight now. I'm just outside Glasgow and we had frost yesterday, its brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

NO vests here yet but deffo coats

i'm in Argyll and it is chilly today.

clothes are drying on the line in record time, though

gobble-it's really nice too isn't it? all warm and squashy with lovely fleece lining.

my mother sent over winter jackets for the girls - they have two each because they're in constant use here.

i'm getting this one for Xmas (not yellow, though).

winter coat went on dd this morning.

waterproof winter coat/ski jacket on reserve too.
