The Winter coat dilemma

It's that chilly time of year again - and I'm faced with the dilemma of needing a new winter coat. I know it's not exactly a hard thing to do, just go to a shop and buy one, right?

Although the UK is strangely still mild(it's November) the chilly weather is on it's way. The car has been playing up - it's a ten year old Ford C-Max(total mum-mobile) and it's never liked the cold.
