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, but do you wear any yourself tutter?

SoMuchToBits · 15/05/2007 17:12

Oh yes, cupcakes, brand new Boden catalogues can keep us occupied for hours!

Tutter · 15/05/2007 17:12

ah, now you cut to the chase

i have one top

but it doesn't fit very well so rarely sees the light of day

TinyGang · 15/05/2007 17:13

Who makes you feel horrible about it? Do you mean on mn? (Sorry haven't read the whole thread)

Where you buy clothes is your business, sod anyone else.

SoMuchToBits · 15/05/2007 17:13

Hmm, I think you need to buy a few more items to qualify for being really horrid.

cupcakes · 15/05/2007 17:13

SoMuch -according to their events calendar there's a Bowden sale on the 19th and 20th June but I think it's a typo.

SoMuchToBits · 15/05/2007 17:14

Ah, thank you for the link cupcakes, I might see if I can get along there.

I can just imagine hoards of yummy mummys storming the show grounds to find a display of underground fault indicators!

SoMuchToBits · 15/05/2007 17:20

Hmm - not sure I have any underground faults...

I wouldn't say 'horrible'.

More 'ghastly'

bossykate · 15/05/2007 17:29

tutter, no but mentioning that stuff makes you a bit of a braggart...

currantbunmum · 15/05/2007 17:30

There is a Boden sale at Cheltenham Town Hall next Wednesday and Thursday, if anyone's interested

Tutter · 15/05/2007 17:31

but surely beign a braggart just makes me even more typical of a boden brayer bossykate?

bossykate · 15/05/2007 17:32

true it does!

you simply must try harder at actually wearing johnnie's "fun" stuff!

allgonebellyup · 15/05/2007 17:33

Boco you are funny

apeainapod · 15/05/2007 17:34

Currant - are you near Cheltenham?

OldieMum · 15/05/2007 17:42

DH is the antithesis of the hearty chaps in the Boden catalogue (cerebral and gentle) and he has no interest at all in clothes. His usual principle in shopping is to buy an exact replica of whatever has worn out and he's replacing. He also loathes self-conscious 'leisure' clothes. But I persuaded him to order a pair of the dreaded drawstring check trousers and he now practically lives in them at home, where they are known as his Rupert Bear trousers. So ner...

SoMuchToBits · 15/05/2007 17:43

I wonder if Johnnie knows there might be a market out there for Sassy Printed Fanjo Muffs?

Actually Sassy Hotchpotch ones might be better...

Kathyis6incheshigh · 15/05/2007 17:45

Nah, sassy embellished fanjo muffs, with lots & lots of beading - they'll hit the spot, methinks.

SoMuchToBits · 15/05/2007 17:48

Actually Kathy, I haven't seen anything in his catalogue for people your size - perhaps we need to point this out to him, that 6-inch people are being unfairly discriminated against.

Kathyis6incheshigh · 15/05/2007 17:50

Yes, I need Mini-Mini-Boden.

Actually didn't someone on the other thread say the tops are just about the right length?

MrsMar · 15/05/2007 18:02

Not horrible, just rich and I'm jealous! (plus their shoes are tiny, and as a plate footed giant I don't fit in to anything shoewise or trouser wise!)
