    That Evans one is very thin....I looked at it the other day....more a "just nipping to the shops" kind of coat rather than a "keeping you warm" one.


    Morning all

    Ironing - done
    Roast dinner - prepped and chicken is roasting - done
    Kitchen pre christmas scrub - units/draws/tiles down one side emptied, scrubbed and put back...the other side will get done tomorrow...so half done.
    Bedrooms tidy - Done
    Washing sorted and put away - Done
    3 bags of charity shop stuff sorted - Done

    This afternoon will be dedicated to sewing, I got a lovely black tunic top on ebay last week but it's about 3 inches too long so looks like a tent...I need to take it up and in a bit....then need to crack on with some xmas pressies.

    Busy busy busy!

    I might get this one and deal with the dry clean bit when I need to. What do you girls think :confused:

    some nice stuff on www.matalan.co.uk Spud but the sizes seem quite limited - sold out of a lot of stuff.

    The flannel parka is nice.

    Personally, I would wash it on a 30 degree quickwash, then take it out quick, smooth it out, hang it on a coathanger somewhere reasonably warm and hope for the best. I don't ever dry clean anything though, and have only had one disaster.

    Spud I know you don't get to go very often but I got DD1 and 2 coats from Primark for £17 yesterday. They are warm and easy care....

    Still never been hun. I think Primark should sell online :rolleyes:

    Right, theres this one and this one too. Both machine washable :cool:

    Maybe I should try to think other than a grey/black parka :confused:
