That was synthetic babyfibres!!

Toothache · 24/08/2005 10:38

Babyfibres!! Now I totally draw the line at making clothes out of BABY FIBRES!

babyfibres · 24/08/2005 10:37

Who'll speak for me then?

Toothache · 24/08/2005 10:35

No SC... this is a proper flounce..... I'm not coming back.

ssd · 24/08/2005 10:34

toothache, synthetic fibres!! How can you live with yourself?

No one is addressing the real issue here, the synthetic fibres who can't speak for themselves.

I'll have to post a million links now explaining how you are all wrong.

Or have you just not bothered to read the whole 3 hour thread you lazy sod??

spacecadet · 24/08/2005 10:30

by then toothache..see you in a min!

spacecadet · 24/08/2005 10:29

pmsl.. OO!

Toothache · 24/08/2005 10:27

I tried desperately to dress both my children from Boden for as long as I possibly could.... but alas it was not to be. I lasted longer with dd...a whole month! But that is clearly because I love her more.

That Ad is a constant reminder of what a failure I am as a Mother........ YES I ADMIT IT..... I dress my children in synthetic fibres!

As a working class ex-council estate dweller, Boden make me feel inferior and a worryingly large chip develops on my shoulder. Mumsnet need to realise the effects of their capatalism.

piffle · 24/08/2005 10:22

ff we all know you are a masochist - you wanted that tar and feather look- why else would you frequent NL?

katierocket · 24/08/2005 10:22

Well I hope you learnt your lesson ff.

I once took my kids to the Boden shop in New look clothes and all the mothers tarred and feathered me, it was awful.

katierocket · 24/08/2005 10:21

exactly piff, just can't see why it's not obvious to everyone.

piffle · 24/08/2005 10:20

katie - my kids never have tantrums, Boden gives children that sense of belonging and calm that leads to perfect behaviour surely?
Don't anyone tell dp different right?

Fio2 · 24/08/2005 10:19

I dont like the john lewis advert, they are trying to make that poor child look like a MINI DAD and that is testament to abuse IMO and I think it is abhorent that parents choose to dress their children in such a way

piffle · 24/08/2005 10:19

I'm suing mn for causing a boden addiction - all that temptation is not right.
but that said you can order loads dress the kids, take a few photos for all middle class relatives and then send it back - free returns and no quibbles refunds.
Bargain

katierocket · 24/08/2005 10:19

Boden makes you a better parent. And that's my last word on the matter. (except for when I come back later and post another 300 times)

tiredemma · 24/08/2005 10:18

FF- you should be on stage, you make me die laughing.

jampots · 24/08/2005 10:18

or indeed "kikas" or "timbaland"

moozoboozobillynomates · 24/08/2005 10:18

There's not enough information on Poundland. We dont know its long term effects

oliveoil · 24/08/2005 10:17

that discount percentage is there as a blatent plug, I'm off (again).

DISGUSTING.

And no-one has mentioned Primark
