RE: Cold weather set of cloths list
I find most really helpful on here their not sarcastic and mickey takers when you ask for advice. That's why I now stick with this forum

Nr that sounds painful.

I get alot in charity shops, got both my waterproof jackets and a ski jacket. It can take months to find what your after, but if your on a budget it really helps. Got a set of skiing trousers/dungarees for 3quid.

RE: Cold weather set of cloths list
When I worked on building sites in winter I found that if I kept my legs and feet warm then I din't find the cold too bad.

I would invest in some thermal long johns and some woolly socks.

A hat is always a good idea

Buffs are fantastic

Be careful not to overheat whilst working

Windproof is essential as is waterproof

If you can't strip it down and re build it, you don't own it

I cycle all year round and usually wear fingerless gloves. It is bitter for the first half hour or so but once I have the blood pumping around my body my fingers come back to life

If you suffer from cold finger despite wearing gloves you might want to try mittens as they tend to be warmer than gloves. (Less surface area)
