Morning All.
I have been quite sensible and bought the kids some things for next year.
I hadn't noticed this top before,so going to give it a go. Also trying the cropped wool trousers and the flared jeans.
I quite fancied the boiled wool coat but was gone in my size.
Hope it comes before Christmas!
So what did you buy and did you get that one thing you were hoping for?
Woopsi.

I didn't get the denim mini skirt I was after - it went out of stock as I was ordering! Unfortunately I was a few minutes delayed in getting my order as my husband decided he wanted to browse the mens clothes (unreasonable of him I know), and then casually called to me 'your favourite mini is out of stock and has been removed from the basket' grrrrr!
I consoled myself with a couple of new tops though, and got DS a new coat. DH got his trousers!

SixtyFootDoll · 10/12/2010 07:26

I got what I wanted but unfortuantely have got it sent to my niece, as was over excited and didnt check dispatch address!

Eliza70 · 10/12/2010 07:48

Yes, two dresses and boyfriend cardigan for me and trousers and a top for DS1. Have got them in two sizes for him 2yrs and 3yrs as I don't know what the sizing is like. I appear to have saved over £100!

hobbittoes · 10/12/2010 08:00

Do you think we will get everything we've ordered......or do they sometimes run out before dispatch?

NorthernLurker · 10/12/2010 08:06

Cosmopolitan top for me in brown, already have it in red and navy.
Denim leggings for both big girls
Dress top for dd1
layered dress for dd2
pointelle pjs for dd3
pretty pjs for dd2
top for friend's dd.

V pleased really. That's about all I could afford and it covers everything I needed to get for Christmas. It had better arrive by then! Was pretty quick last year and I ordered in the first two hours of the sale.

woopsidaisy · 10/12/2010 08:09

As we have ordered early,I think we should get what we ordered. And hopefully before Christmas!

Mine has been despatched according to email.

Easy knit dress for me (dd is 7 and has never seen me in a frock!) and some nighties and a pinafore for her. I went bonkers the other month when they had those specials on s didn't even look at tops and t shirts.

LaurieFairyonthetreeEatsCake · 10/12/2010 08:23

I didn't manage to get the top I wanted but I got 2 basic ones, the jersey scarf, the 'glam' short sleeve top I'll use for layering, a pair of the cosy brushed pullons in the colour I wanted (pine green)

Quite happy but didn't get the uptown top in the Teal - I'm an idiot, I should have paid full price for it.

littledolly · 10/12/2010 08:24

I really wanted the Notting Hill dress and managed to get it (down to £33 from £85, so delighted!). Was so excited about that, that I checked out before looking for anything else. Having a wee peek again now, but some things haven't got as much of a reduction as you would expect.

Out of interest, does anyone have the Holland Park dress? Just wondering what the fit is like?

MrsMills · 10/12/2010 09:07

2 long sleeved t shirts each for the boys and a gorgeous long merino cardigan for my step mum for Christmas. Unfortunately nothing for me as they don't do maternity wear and I couldn't see anything I would stand a chance of fitting into. I'm at that awful in-between stage where I just look like I've eaten too many pies ( which I have).

Come on Johnny- what about some decent maternity wear?

woopsidaisy · 10/12/2010 09:09

Oooooh! Maternity wear-would love that!

SerendipityAlways · 10/12/2010 09:16

I got exactly what I wanted for DS (some long sleeved tops) and a pretty top for DD!

For me straightleg jeans and a ruffle top. Really want the elegant velvet jacket in the green or purple, but all sold out!!!! Will be keeping an eagle eye out for returns!

MayorNaze · 10/12/2010 09:19

thefentiger · 10/12/2010 10:08

I had a look last night and didnt see much I wanted.This morning I had another browse and saw the Notting Hill dresses reduced to £33 so I ordered the green floral and and smoke floral in size 12L- not sure how this one is going to look -I saw someone wearing it and she looked lovely-also I dont htink these colours scream Boden.
Ordered the cream beret and handwarmers for DD and a Blueberry check long shirt and two cardigans and a polo shirt for DS -all Johnnieb - came to £150ish -very pleased.

seasalt · 10/12/2010 10:09

I wanted the denim mini too but my size is gone.

Housewife2010 · 10/12/2010 10:50

Johnny has promised to do some maternity wear in the New Year. It's not in the Preeview though so maybe it will be next Autumn.

GeorginaWorsley · 10/12/2010 11:13

Dress and top and fleece for DD3.
Cardigan for my mum for xmas.

bluecardi · 10/12/2010 11:16

Looking for - Long skirts & cardies & tops with full length sleeves

5GoldenFimbos · 10/12/2010 11:19

Bootcut jeans

Top (can't remember the name of it)

Gogopops · 10/12/2010 11:28

Got the purple houndstooth coat reduced from £195 to £55. Wasn't keen on this initially as I generally dont like houndstooth but saw it on someone in town last week and it looked really nice. Reviews are pretty good and it's supposed to be very thick and warm. Also got the purple sparkly scarf to go with it and a navy dress. Overall quite pleased Smile

tyaca · 10/12/2010 12:36

does anyone know if discount code works during sale? doesn't appear to be.

dexter73 · 10/12/2010 12:45

Discount codes don't work during the sale.

traceybath · 10/12/2010 13:05

Got a few bits for the dc's and a cashmere jumper for myself and have apparently been despatched.

Really wanted the ladies cashmere wrap but thats not in the sale so hoping it will be added in the next few weeks.

Dexterrocks · 10/12/2010 13:07

I got my dd the purple cord apple pocket skirt but everything else was sold out in the sizes we wanted - saved me a fortune :)

purplepeony · 10/12/2010 15:13

I got a cropped cash cardi though not sure about colour- ordered pebble but also like the bluey-green ( is it more green though?) and the spangly cardi in grey- won't keep both.
