    a grey mac, a red duffle that was free and a red waterproof (99p!), 2 could do with replacing as they are on their last legs. I tend to wear cardigans rather than coats/jackets.
    :AA/give up smoking (done) :)

    I have 2 at the mo. 1 large winter coat and 1 smarter coat. Just gave a couple which are now too big to charity. Will get a 3rd light coat in spring/summer.
    Paid off the last of my unsecured debts in 2016. Then saved up and bought a property. Current aim is to pay off my mortgage as early as possible. Currently over paying every month. Mortgage due to be paid off in 2036 hoping to get it paid off much earlier. Set up my own bespoke spreadsheet to manage my money.

    I have:
    • A disreputable fleece for dry-day dog walking
    • A decent fleece
    • A black cord jacket
    • A wax jacket (slightly disreputable) for wet-day dog walking
    • A cerulean blue wool cloak with a hood for everyday use in cold weather
    • A black velvet cloak for "posh" events when it's cold
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Too many lol!

    I tend to keep my coats until they look scruffy because a) they're expensive compared with the rest of my primarni/ae.com wardrobe and b) they tend to come round fashion-wise (a lovely purple tweed coat I got as a present for my 16th birthday now seems to be back in high demand lol).

    Purple tweed long belted coat
    Red and black tartan wool military style jacket
    2x beige mackintosh-style belted coats (one lightweight and one heavier lined one)
    A showerproof marmot winter black jacket with a fluffy hood
    A Rabb purple waterproof jacket
    An All Saints brown studded leather jacket
    A plain brown leather jacket
    A black worn leather jacket
    A 70s style mustard yellow leather jacket with a sheepskin collar (sounds awful but it's got me several compliments over the years lol)
    A flower embroidered cotton purple/pink jacket (white stuff style)
    A red duffle coat
    A black formal long wool coat
    A white stuff grey wool long winter coat
    A thin black mac
    A padded ski jacket

    Grateful to see I am not the only 'coat hoarder', shoes, bags and perfumes are my other weaknesses.


    I don't have oodles of clothes like loads of my mates but I can outdo them all in coats and trainers.:o

    That's what I thought too, but it's really hard to decide which ones to hoof out. I seem to always have a reason to hang on to a coat I haven't worn in flippin yonks. I will have to get tuff wiv meself.
