    I really want that coat...hmmm may have to donate my pink one to someone to appease my guilt about buying it (I also get 1,000 points through pigsback for it too)...got a brown one I cant wear anymore either...need to stop growing out of coats! ;)

    I will think about it till Weds then see where I am money wise :D

    Becky, that coat's only £80 on House of Frazer website. Only certain sizes available though :cool:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Btw, thanks for all the offers people keep mentioning on here. I've got nearly all my Xmas pressies sorted now. I just have to get one for James. I'm debating about giving him the Hotel Chocolat box and getting something else for my grandad but I don't know what I'd get him then. Whereas I have some good ideas for James, even though they'll cost.

    Kayleigh, what about this for both, just use different email address' ;) I have done one for Mum for her last pressie but I am tempted to order another one for my lil bro with Dolby on it :think: Can I afford it though :rolleyes:

    Ahhh....sorry Bess - I've posted a few things this morning. Didn't know which one you meant. But yes - if I didn't use Sky as much as I do I would tell them to shove their remote where the sun don't shine!!

    Seriously... spoke to 4 people about the same thing. Got 4 different answers. Honestly.

    Ok...rant over.
    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)

    really....it's not hard to understand :T

    Becky - re: the lovely coat - if you are going to get lots of wear out of it and it's not a cheap make, so £100 is well worth it! PLus the pigsback points too, that's very good! If Wednesday goes as planned, then it can be your treat!

    Love your quote by the way!

    :D:D:D You lot are a bad influence :D:D

    Who would like a size 8 (but m & s so prob a size 10) hot pink coat - looks like this:
    http://www.marksandspencer.com/Wool-Rich-Neck-Melton-Coat/dp/B002NWJBXU?ie=UTF8&qid=1258974083&categoryNodeID=42967030&ref=sr_1_38&page=1&node=54189031&sr=1-38&mnSBrand=core&rh=n%3A54189031

    Only sans bow and black buttons instead of a zip (has 3/4 length sleeves)

    I also have a size 10 zara coat that is brown heavy cotton, knee length with buttons and gold sequins on the cuffs and the belt...

    Thanks Spud - cant quote for some reason!

    Not sure if I am xs or s though...hmmm will wait and see if they still have it on Weds...

    Oh, size 10....I dream of being a size 10! Woe is me, etc, etc!!

    But go for it Becky! I bought a Next coat at their outlet store in Kent last summer for £40 and it still looks so stylish and lasted me last winter and this, so as long as you get good wear out of it, the spend can of course be justified!
