We bought FIL one for xmas a few years back and it was from M&S. No idea if they do womens though and no idea on the price either, sorry.

ETA: Here's the womens one. £10 though and not very good reviews...

I've been so cold and dressing rubbishly for about a week now. Can't wait for it to warm up! It's been -3 for most of the day today and is forecast to get to -11 tonight. Not too worried about night time though as i've got nice PJs and a thick duvet

PF i've seen thermals in primark. Keep meaning to get some. They had a light & dark grey stripey long sleeve top with lace round the neck that I wanted but they probably did plain ones too.

I'll post my rubbish clothes anyway
leggings, jeans, walking trainers, hoody, ski jacket, gloves, hat.

Want to wear something nicer but I'm worried about freezing to death. Maybe I should get some long socks or leg warmers so I can wear skirts & dresses & still be warm. I do have ribbed tights which I normally love in winter.
or maybe i'll just stick it out til thursday when it's meant to go above 0! Hooray!

Ordered a dress from DPs the other day (this one)
Not sure about the sleeves but I like the pattern & colour

Well as I slept in work last night; today’s outfit is the same as yesterdays except change of tie to a blue jacquard one.
Luckily I had gym stuff with me so clean socks, boxers and t shirts, and a towel and soap.
Washed my shirt last night and put on a work fleece and safety boots and a t shirt and went to a nearby pub, then slept in a store room at work in my gym shorts and a t shirt..
Ironed the shirt this morning had a shower and back at my desk.

I could do without this again TBH.

omg, was that due to the weather conditions, douglas!?!
i used to sleep at the bar i worked at as it was also a hotel, and someone had to be on call all night, but it's pretty easy to be freaked out when you're the only one downstairs all night :S

-12 when i got in the car, alex !

today's outfit:
pastel floral print tea dress, cow vintage store
grey cardigan with pastel coloured bead embellishments, new look
pink beret, mum got from france when she was younger
pale blue jewel ring, accessorize
grey over knee suede flat boots, peacocks last winter
grey faux fur mittens, new look
grey long faux fur coat, tk maxx

Yes the motorway between here and home was gridlocked and hundreds of people had to sleep in their cars. I reckon staying put was the right choice to make.

piratefairy

Hmm, i guess it's not ideal but better than sleeping in the car!
