The code TREAT20 expires tonight, try TWENTY20 instead, haven't used that but found it on a voucher code website so it might work.

OhBuggerandArse · 15/01/2012 22:30

Oh damn, too late! NEver mind.

ThatVikRinA22 · 15/01/2012 22:52

i think im going to chance using the prepaid label....got 2 dresses and a jumper to return.

would anyone please help me make up my mind with the coat...?
pic is on my profile - i really need an honest appraisal.

ive a friend coming tomorrow - will show her too
she said if it doesnt feel right to send it back but it looks ok though and its a bargain....DD says it looks better than my current coat .....aaarrrrgggghhhhhhh!!! WHY CANT I JUST MAKE A BLOODY DECISION! i keep taking it off the hanger, decide to keep, then change my mind and put it back in the box....then try it on again and then im back to square one.

i think it looks ok.
but the waist is high, its very fitted, yet it fits - no gaping or pulling, just feels an odd fit...

got to decide by tomorrow. i need to post the stuff thats going back back asap....

daenerysstormborn · 15/01/2012 22:55

vicar, if you are in a quandary about the coat, i'd send it back. if i was spending £54 on a coat, i'd have to love it to warrant keeping it.

Sparklegeek · 15/01/2012 23:04

Well I have chanced using the prepaid label! But as it was only posted yesterday I can't say how successful it was :) Not very helpful, sorry. Re the coat - it looks OK from what I can see, but with it being black I can't really tell as I can't make out the fit as such. But I would want to be sure too. Is the fact that it was so reduced impacting on your decision? Would you be having the same quandary if it was a £54 coat that you'd paid £54 for? (You know what I mean!)

ThatVikRinA22 · 15/01/2012 23:21

i keep veering between saying im sending it back and saying im keeping it....

it actually looks ok, nice even. but its far more fitted than any of my other coats, and because its so fitted it feels sort of - restrictive - around the very high waist line.

ive decided that im going to make a decision tomorrow! Grin
im a terrible procrastinator!

snowmaiden · 16/01/2012 09:33

I have decided to keep my princess coat, it looks nice, but is very fitted around the waist. It will definitely be an evening only type coat though- I couldn't get a jumper under it!! (silky tops and dresses only unless I manage to shed a few pounds!)

daenerysstormborn · 16/01/2012 10:00

it is a nice coat though, it's smart but would also look good with jeans. i would have been tempted if they'd done it in a beige/tan, the cream is too pale for me and i don't do black.

ThatVikRinA22 · 16/01/2012 15:20

i have also decided to keep mine but i got the L and so a jumper does fit under mine - its become my new day winter coat - wore it today in fact.

My mate who is always very honest about what i wear really liked it. ive just returned all the other stuff -the 2 L finchley dresses and the jumper.

ChablisLover · 16/01/2012 18:47

Posted mine back with prepaid label

Fingers crossed.

ThatVikRinA22 · 16/01/2012 19:31

So did I, but feel very bad about making them pay for the postage when everything I've kept is so cheap.... I have guilt.

Sparklegeek · 16/01/2012 19:49

Well I posted mine back with the prepaid label on Saturday & have just had an email confirming receipt :)

Trumpton · 17/01/2012 08:28

And me too.I posted back and have NO guilt. Grin

Sparklegeek · 17/01/2012 10:37

Well, I have just managed to order a Small in the Roebuck Finchley dress. This will be the THIRD one I've ordered so if I don't end up with one that fits I'm going into meltdown!

trixymalixy · 17/01/2012 20:58

How did you manage that sparkle, did you ring them?

My Farrell jersey twist dresses are staying as they are so bargainous. I think they would look fine on someone shorter than me, the shaping for the hips sits at my waist and sticks out a bit, but I am 5'8" with a long body. I'm going to have the waist taken in slightly by my Mum.

The hide bag is going back though.

Sparklegeek · 17/01/2012 21:38

trixy, I have been refreshing that page every half hour that I'm at home & they just had one appear! (I think somebody upthread returned one at the end of last week?) It literally must've been one as I checked shortly after & they'd all gone again.

Geordieminx · 17/01/2012 21:40

Trix if you don't want both I would buy one/bothoff you?

OhCobblers · 18/01/2012 22:17

Does anyone have the Ramone Jeans? If so what colour is "Siamese" ? Looks grey to me rather than blue? Confused

thanks

Sparklegeek · 19/01/2012 12:11

Vicar was it you that was after the Tassel Town bag in Tawny Owl? They have them in right now! I managed to get it yesterday in the black so now will have to choose Wink Thank the Lord I have my 40th next month, mind you I'll be getting no surprises at this rate...

daenerysstormborn · 19/01/2012 12:18

cobblers, i have a dress & leggings in siamese, both are grey.

ThatVikRinA22 · 19/01/2012 14:06

bollocks.

i missed it. just gone for a gander and theyve only got them in tan now. having said that, im skint. i should stop looking now. im not sure if the other stuff has been refunded yet...

NanBullen · 19/01/2012 14:12

got the noelle winter iris in a small! yay! fits perfectly Grin

SweetPotatoHead · 19/01/2012 14:25

Has anyone had any problems with wrongly sized stuff from GP? I had to send a top back as although it said it was a medium on the packet and label the stitched label inside showed it was a XS. Just received the replacement and its a medium according to all the packaging but it's actually an XL! Am not happy- Am I just super unlucky?

MooseyMoo · 19/01/2012 16:00

Just got the tassel town bag in black! Thanks sparkle for letting us know they were in stock.

cyb · 19/01/2012 17:03

Have just bought Noelle cowl neck dress in black for £16 (ignoring the dry clean only label) Will hand wash and hope for the best
