Seriously cross, I thought the sale was starting later today and now they have nothing left in the sizes/colours I want . But perhaps I should be at all the money I haven't spent.

So when did it start then?

Typivcally all the things I fancy for the dd's aren't even in the sale!

Its all Malory's fault . She heard from Johnnie himself that it was starting mid afternoon today. But when I clicked on the mumsnet link when I came on about 1/2hr ago it had already started.

it started first thing this morning

LucycatsGotTheTurkey · 15/12/2005 13:01

I haven't had an email from Johnnie! I HAVE had about 5 catalogues (both mini & regular) and other emails at least 3 a week - but a sale one - natch!!

I haven't got any money either and the dd's don't NEED any more clothes - but still

Epiffany · 15/12/2005 13:06

I wason it first thing as I had the nod from a big cheese too
much of the stuff I had wanted was sold out long ago.
I cna recommend the ladies balet knit wrap tops
£24!!!
surgery could not flatter you more

SueW · 15/12/2005 13:07

Oooh Epiffany thanks for that as I have just ordered two

My first Boden order for over five years...!

Klauz33 · 15/12/2005 13:11

Winter jumpers and trousers for the boys

It is going fast!!

GoodKingGeorginars · 15/12/2005 13:12

some of my stuff sold out while it was in my shopping basket and before I'd paid for it. Probably good news though as I am a bit skint. But be quick

LipstickMum · 15/12/2005 13:12

I'm with you Lucy, all year I am swamped with catalogues (at least 3 for each season) and emails galore. Not a snifter about this sale though. Typical. I've managed to get some things I wanted, ballet wrap included, better than surgery eh Epiffany? I hope so! I would've liked to get my hands on one of the winter coats, but, at half price, not one to be had.

misdee · 15/12/2005 13:14

i got an email about the sale, after my order pmsl!!

LipstickMum · 15/12/2005 13:17

In previous sales, I've kept on checking the site. As things get returned you can sometimes get hold of your size again, but you have to be like greased lightening! And not have a life outside computer and Boden.

LUCYlastiKATEdchristmastocking · 15/12/2005 13:35

even first thing this morning alot was already sold out. all i really wanted was pyjamas for me & dh, but they sold out ages ago.

did get one of those fluffy gillet things for myself in pink. its a s though so won't be able to do it up over boobies, never mind.

and a jelly bean t shirt for dd. don't like the boys stuff much, ds has gone without.

Hello Lippy - you ok? Have you ordered anything?

cupcakesbakingonanopenfire · 15/12/2005 14:00

Hiya Welshie! Am 'so so', how are you? Yeah, I ordered about 200 quids worth of stuff I did get some things in 2 sizes though!

cupcakesbakingonanopenfire · 15/12/2005 14:13

and I still haven't had my e-mail from Johnnie. Sniff.

LipstickMum · 15/12/2005 14:16

Lucy, I wanted one of those fluffy gillet hings, but they were mostly gone except in cream I think.

Tommy · 15/12/2005 14:20

I forgot it was starting and now they have sold out of everything in my size

IvorthePolarExpress · 15/12/2005 14:21

Thanks for this thread as I haven't received an e-mail and had forgotten that the sale might have been taking place today. I've only ordered a few things for dd as part of her Christmas present. I've got some Boden things that don't fit me anymore as I've lost weight and I'm trying to get around to putting them up for sale. One of these days..........

wewishyouaClaryChristmas · 15/12/2005 14:25

hah! Like others I would expect an email but didn't get it (grrr as was on puter early this am)
But have now ordered. Wolf T-shirt for ds1 sold out so got bear instead. Nearly as nice.
Piff, hesitated over the ballet tops - not good for my huge norks methinks? - and didn't go for it in the end.
Also nice jimjams for ds1 (aooo hard to find) were totally sold out in both atterns. But maybe they were anyway!

walkinginawelshmumwonderland · 15/12/2005 14:37

Lippy - I've been thinking about you, tried to cat you but it won't let me for some reason (fault at my end not yours) Do you want to cat me and we could chat?
200 quid the week before Christmas - good on ya girl! Only managed a measly 48 - but dd is spoiled rotten anyway
