I got up early to see if I could get a few things for dd's holiday. Still nothing...

Anyone know what time of day it usually begins?

My basket still full and the site is usually down for aaaaaaages before the sale comes up.

My basket is still full too. Is everywhere this secretive about when the sale is starting?

I think it must be starting today some time, surely?

I'm just fed up waiting for the bloody sale to start.
Every other sale started weeks ago.

Add to the fact there is no Mini autumn preview this year (therefore no 20% discount), think I will be spending my money elsewhere for the dcs. Sorry Johnny.

wish johnnie would bloody hurry up. am supposed to be going out this afternoon. and i know its not even going to be worth the wait is it..?

GobblersKnob · 06/07/2012 13:07

My basket is still full. Do you think they have to empty them manually?

I don't know why I am obsessing I don't really even want anything.

I thought the Mini preview starts 20th July? No discount though iirc which means I probably won't buy. I have spent ££££ on Boden over the years and have never ever bought anything full price.

I hope it doesn't begin at 3pm when I need to go out on the school run!

Have to charge up the iPad. All this refreshing is draining my battery!

ruby22 · 06/07/2012 14:32

Not in the next 48 hours they said today when I was querying a refund for something. So would guess at first thing Monday.

Any news? Might have to spend elsewhere at this rate, listen up Jonnie!

herecomesthsun · 06/07/2012 14:55

oh look what I found here

MonaLotte · 06/07/2012 15:22

I really like the boys cord jacket from that link herecomes.

Northernlurker · 06/07/2012 17:58

It was about 5pm on Sunday at Christmas time. That would be my guess and that would be more than 48 hours from the time Ruby was told not within 48 hours. There isn't anything I'm desperate for. Will have a browse though.

It seems like they don't want anyone to predict it though doesn't it!

How annoying. Am going away next weekend and had half an eye on a Boden cardigan, but it's not so special that I can't find something similar elsewhere. At this time of year (and in a recession) you'd have to be either Victoria Beckham or A Bit Daft to buy outside the sale, so think Johnnie's scored something of an own goal by starting his so late.

NotMostPeople · 06/07/2012 20:05

There's a post from Boden on their Facebook page that says for sale watchers to stand down its not going to be today.

itdidntworkout · 06/07/2012 20:25

Went to Hobbs today and had a good spend up. Boden sale prices had better be good, as I don't have much money left!

RedwingS · 06/07/2012 20:52

I also got a message from them to say 'like us on facebook to find out when the sale is'. Which annoyed me. Still, if they don't want to tell me when it is, that's up to them. Why do they want to make it difficult for their customers?

Anyway I went and bought a dress from Brora instead. No money left for Boden now.

itdidntworkout · 06/07/2012 21:10

Pure collection sale is great, loads at alf price!

Queenofcake · 06/07/2012 21:18

My money is on next Friday.

Tbh - I used to wait avidly for the Boden sale but Jonny pissed me off by taking the piss this past year with his prices shooting up and the qualkity doing a dip.

It aint what it used to be and where as a few years ago Boden was a unique style its style crept into other more affordable shops.

I would be lyimg to say I wont take a look but unless its 60% off Jonny can do one!!!
