I am fed up with being made to feel like I am a real cow because I buy clothes from Boden, it isn't as if I am stealing the food from a child is it????????

Ah...I haven't got into Crocs.....yet

Boco · 15/05/2007 16:41

cupcakes! I'll look out for you, sounds like you'll all be very easy to spot

cupcakes · 15/05/2007 16:42

we are not urbanites and our 4x4 is a very old and dirty Discovery. And dh does not look remotely like a stockbroker. And we are too quiet.

Boco - I'm the one with the ridiculously untrained lab (I had to hang onto a lamp post the other week to stop him pulling me over), the too short Boden top and the wild and unkempt boy and girl dominating the pavements with their scooters...

i had never heard of boden till i joined mn! i haven't looked at their clothing but i'll go have a peek now to top off the image that you have all created in my minds eye....

Boco · 15/05/2007 16:48

Do you wear sassy skirts? Are the the kids all hotchpotch? Are you hanging onto that lampost in a carefree, life is ruddy fun and i'm rather wholesome sort of way?

I don't wear there stuff but do buy it for the boys. My eldest refuses to wears clothes with buttons, zips and badges which rather narrows down his shopping trips

With Boden I can buy quality plain t-shirts and elasticated trousers. Also if he takes a patent dislike to something then I can sell it on Ebay. Recently sold a rather tired pair of tartan baggies for £12 . I am trying to stop buying him tartan baggies as now he is 6 they look a bit stupid.

SoMuchToBits · 15/05/2007 16:57

My 6 yr old ds still likes his tartan baggies

IcingOnTheCake · 15/05/2007 16:58

Ok so what is boden??

apeainapod · 15/05/2007 16:59

I'm stuffed then - I like Norfolk for a break, I drive a Range Rover, have a Nanny and nearly 4 children - ah but then we were outbid for the £140k beach hut - oh well 4 out of 5 is not bad!

No idea what is wrong with Boden....... I like it.

cathcart · 15/05/2007 17:00

OOOh! you are all so gorgeous! I do like pretty dresses but they would have to be a treat for me, a bit too pricy for everyday wear I'm afraid...

SoMuchToBits · 15/05/2007 17:07

my almost 7 year old ds is also still keen on his tartan baggies too.

cupcakes · 15/05/2007 17:08

SoMuch - I think there's a sale at the Suffolk Showground next month.

SoMuchToBits · 15/05/2007 17:08

What a relief - he's not the only one then. Actually ds loves a good look through the Boden catalogue.

SoMuchToBits · 15/05/2007 17:09

Oooh, sale is there? Any idea of the dates?

Tutter · 15/05/2007 17:11

ds wears boden
dh wears quite a bit - even slouchy pull-ons (but only in pj-type situations - not to wear in our...)
4x4 in the drive
Dorset Cereals muesli in the cupboard
more than average money in the bank
live in home counties
we have stayed in the Bedruthan Steps and Ickworth hotels

i guess that makes me Pretty Damned Horrid eh

I LOVE a brand new season Boden catalogue. Perfect bathroom reading matter. ds likes a look but dd1 (4) really gets into it - we have to look at every page together.
