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????????

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.

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

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

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

I wouldn't say 'horrible'.

More 'ghastly'

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

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

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...

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

Actually Sassy Hotchpotch ones might be better...

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

Yes, I need Mini-Mini-Boden.

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

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!)
