Are we having a Boden frenzy?

I think we are in danger of succumbing to Johnnie's foreplay- and he is working us up into t right lather.
The thought of 40% off has got us all weak at the knees.
No?

I bet it will be 40% off all the horrible crap no one wants.
You are warned.

Grin cabbageroses
I have ordered (and returned) some shockers this season and have declared several times on here that my love affair with Johnnie is over...

But as soon as he mentions discounts, I am trawling the site and placing orders! Yes, I will be browsing his 40% off but agree it will be all the crap he can't shift.

Hi Meggles you will be pleased to hear I have recovered from Boden sale hysteria with aid of wine :o

Yes, cabbageroses I fear you are correct. 'Twill probably be the likes of this this and my own particular favourite candidate for most vile item of the season

However, if I can get just another few quid off of the items I have already ordered I will (sad as it sounds) be a tad happier with Johnnie Boy Wink

FFS. What is wrong with me this evening???

There are 3 links within what looks like one humungous link. Honest.

BoysAreLikeDogs · 13/04/2011 23:49

permission to ask a fick question please?

If the stuff is in yer basket, ready for the off, does one have to take it out of the basket to get the reduced price? and then yoink it back in immediately??

thank you

tulpe · 14/04/2011 00:04

Boys - I think anything you already have in your basket gets deleted when the sale starts.......but am not absolutely certain on that.

carriedababi · 14/04/2011 00:06

I am. I am staying up all night

madwomanintheattic · 14/04/2011 00:09

oh tulpe, that skirt!
'great to wear, gorgeous to look at'

and a fucker to iron, so we haven't sold any of them.

MrsKitty · 14/04/2011 00:51

What time does the sale start - anyone know?

I'm on night shift tonight so will be online shopping if it's before 6am Grin If it's after then I shall have to go without as I will be sleeping.

madwomanintheattic · 14/04/2011 02:45

meh. not yet.

MrsKitty · 14/04/2011 05:10

It's started. Not a huge amount I was particularly interested in, but I've ordered a dress anyway.

cardoon · 14/04/2011 06:12

Whaaaatttt - how has it started? - I can only see 10% off!!!!

oftenpurple · 14/04/2011 06:22

Gah, absolutely nothing I want on sale.

rookiemater · 14/04/2011 06:36

Not that much worth getting. I have reordered the flared chinos as they fitted me perfectly in navy but when I had them before in taupe and black they were too small ( go figure) but have lost a bit of weight now so will give them another go.

Someone recommended AF12 and that gives you an additional 10% off plus free delivery!

OllieWollieWoo · 14/04/2011 07:03

Where has its started? My Boden page is just showing as normal with the 10% off?

cardoon · 14/04/2011 07:15

Ollie I discovered if you go onto - say -dresses the reduced prices are on the on the first items.

JemimaMop · 14/04/2011 07:27

Just did my sale shop Grin

Not a lot that I wanted for myself was on sale, but I did get the elastic espadrilles to try. Lots that I had been eyeing up for DD was on sale though.

MollieO · 14/04/2011 07:40

I can't find a single thing on sale in the boys section.

BoysAreLikeDogs · 14/04/2011 07:40

thanks tulpe, dress remains in basket, but it's not in the sale by the look of it

tulpe · 14/04/2011 08:07

sorry to hear that Boys

I am annoyed that they list all colours of an item as being on sale but then when you put them in your basket you realise that sadly they are still full price (yes, I am talking about you, Eau de nil chic cardi thing!! I want you, but not at £55 Angry )

So I have re-ordered some of the things I received yesterday and decided to give the linen dress a chance, since it is reduced to £31.

Also bunged a pair of Johnnie B skinnies in to the basket (full price). I have
a pair in red from last year which are fab and need to replace my Top Shop Marthas - which they appear to not make anymore.

Nothing for the DCs except swim shorts which were still full price.

AnonymousBird · 14/04/2011 08:08

The sale is on, but watch out, only certain colours in individual styles are reduced... the site is a bit misleading as it shows them all at discounted prices, then once it is in your shopping bag, the full price is applied.

LPCB at checkout gives you 15% off by the way.

Lollypolly · 14/04/2011 08:14

Gah nothing I want is reduced Angry

Oh, it's hardly anything to get excited about is it? I haven't seen one thing with 40% off

TheBolter · 14/04/2011 08:30

Agree with Anonymous - beware. The layout of the sale stuff is potentially misleading.

kittya · 14/04/2011 08:41

Not even a quarter of it is reduced. I'm off back to bed
