I'm now a proper mumsnetter...

[YourCallIsImportant]

Despite being here for the last 3 years or so, I haven't felt like a proper fully paid up member of the community until now.

This morning I completed the last stage of my Mumsnet apprenticeship and placed my first Boden order.

[pleased with self emoticon]

It's a slippery slope Congratulations!

What did you order?

I ordered two of these for my holiday next month. One in pine and one in pink.

I am nervous as I recognise it as the thin end of the wedge .

I felt like that wheni placed my first boden order this week. Now trying to decide if I like it!

I have never bought from Boden

Dietcoke - I often get that feeling with Boden stuff, it's sort of nearly really really nice but....

I always end up keeping things though

Ruby I had to start with something small, didn't want to go straight into the heavy stuff right away.

Yep, its Asda round here too.

Me neither pag.

In fact I'm what you could call a conscientious objector to all things Johnnie.

A couple of friends say they like it...Im not not sure it doesnt like plastic..

Not over keen on the clothes but those Camisoles look nice. Boden wouldnt fit me- I have a huge bum and boobs!

DONT MAKE ME LOOK AT THEIR SITE.

No, don't, please. I am too nosy not to check your link, and once you make me look, I will need to look further and further and.... STOP NOW!

Euphemia - 'tis a bit like that round here. . I'm embarrassed even to admit that I live in such a place, let alone that in fact I have had that very thought. I mentally "Tut" every time I see one. It's like a metronome in my head.

I'm with you Bunny. I hate Johnnie.

Arrgh, my eyes - Yourcall, that was uncalled-for

Boden - such rubbish...

Mistress... you are right...Boden stuff for women is nearly nice... I buy stuff for DD and DS from there and like the quality. For me, I stick to the plain stuff... order pattern stuff, hang it in my wardrobe, can't bear the sight of it and return the following day. This season, I have bought the silver boyfriend cardigan.
The trouble with Boden is that it does make me feel like I am slipping in to middle age (am 34!!)

Hmmm, I'm 32. I need a makeover....
