Gillian76 · 01/07/2005 12:13

If I put items in my basket now can I just zip through the checkout when the sale starts? Or will it all disappear by then? I wonder???

cupcakes · 01/07/2005 12:17

In the past the basket has always been wiped clean when the sale pages come up.

soapbox · 01/07/2005 12:17

This months Eve magazine says it starts today and I have been anxiously awaiting for it to start!

I'll be pissed off if it doesn't start soon

Gillian76 · 01/07/2005 12:17

Must do a list then

Enid · 01/07/2005 12:18

I left cod

seriously it got sold to Arcadia (top shop etc) and went rubbish

cupcakes · 01/07/2005 12:18

Just remembered that actually dh DOES have some Boden! He bought a dark blue linen suit in the sale years ago which he wears for summer weddings. Ha!

Gillian76 · 01/07/2005 12:19

I love the girls clothes, but can't seem to get excited about the boy's stuff. Am I missing something?

flashingnose · 01/07/2005 12:22

Enid/cod, I still mourn the demise of Racing Green - have you ever found anything similar - shop or mail order?

soapbox · 01/07/2005 12:25

I liked racing green too - shame it shut down.

I used to buy loads of boden stuff for the children but prefer pumpkin patch now. Still like the childrens swimming gear at Boden though

I'm only 5'6'' tall and still find the Boden tops too short but my boobs take up too much of the fabric I think

Have been convinced by Trinny and Suzanna never to wear cropped trousers of any description so capris are out for me

I do like the floaty skirts though!

Enid · 01/07/2005 12:27

the tops are an awful shape, short and wide

Gillian76 · 01/07/2005 12:30

Should do me just find then. That's just my shape . I've only ever ordered stuff for the children but it's my turn now I think!

fishfinger · 01/07/2005 12:31

yep perfer pumpkin patch

also their sizing is odd the leap form 5- 6 an 7- 8 is HUGE

NomDePlume · 01/07/2005 12:31

HAHAHAHAHA, just popped onto Boden.co.uk for a quick snigger at 'Johnnies favourites', to find a cardigan available in several colours, including (you'll be pleased to hear) prawn !

fishfinger · 01/07/2005 12:32

thats fort he cod then

cupcakes · 01/07/2005 12:32

gillian76 - I love the boys clothes! There's nothing out there for boys I like as much (hence my avid interest in the sale!).
Ds (5) loves it too and picks out his dream items from the catalogue (I've promised him a towel if it's in the sale!).
