    Is that your fault for not buying, or her fault for not telling you she needed one? And has she had pneumonia or hypothermia? Cos if not, you're fine!

    What year's she in now? And does she mean no coat, or no new expensive coat?
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    I reckon I have to admit fault here. No serious cold related illnesses. We do only live a few minutes from her school though. I'm now told DS hasnt got a coat either. Oh dear, I'm bad :o

    She's year 9 now Ames :cool:

    The coat that we got her in year 5 lasted through year 6, but she hasnt worn a coat since she's been at high school. She has fleeces for weekends, but not a school coat.

    She's fine, a bit of cold won't do them no harm, makes them run about a bit more and get warm. *says the woman who used to wait for a bus in snow wearing a skirt and tights for school* (I did have the rest of school uniform - but it was a think jumper, crappy cheap jacket and I FROZE!)

    Well I feel like a complete shiit, as I have dumped the second nice, attractive, caring, sweet guy in a month. I could tell he was sad but he wasn't horrible about it.

    What the hell am I doing dumping perfectly nice men. :( :wall:

    Snag, maybe they just weren't right for you. You might have known it in some small way.
