Its the Boden Sale game - roll up roll up

[MariahScarey]

so the site is DOWN for sale prep. WHEN will it start?

I am going for 15h

Yawn, not worth paying the postage on - I'm going with quiteoldgal and waiting until it moves to clearance before having a proper look

First time ever I have not ordered anything.
Recent promotions better value imo,plus nothing I am tempted by

No, I've also bought nothing.

I love a sale. I will buy any old crap if it's 50% off. This has not thrilled me.

And believe me, there are some items which really should be 70% off.

Lynette I agree. Very poor reductions on some things.

Poly - I got the sort of purple,burgundy one. I'm tempted by the navy but the spots put me off a bit.

Take the rainy day mac - all the decent patterns are sold out leaving the floral sofa jobs which haven't even got 50% off. Johnny - you have stock of every size! You need to go large on this one to shift it because they're ugly!

Thanks to the threads about Boden on here, I've ordered several dresses and a jacket. I've been waiting years to be slim enough to look good in a dress, and it's a small window of opportunity before I'll feel too old to be wearing some of these, so I am going for it! (There's never anything in my size when the clearance sales are on. Funny that.)

Was going to get Skye jumper but too much. Pkus postage

More moaning about reductions

I've been looking at these boots. The reviews aren't great and there is plenty of stock of nearly all sizes. On Friday I think you could have had 25% off. No in the 'sale' it's less than 20%. Bit feeble.

Mariah I got the skye jumper at the last reductions, didn't like it in real life. Too much even with 55% off

I bought a jacket and 2 jumpers last week. They are now more expensive despite being in the sale . Really not impressed.

I've ordered a few bits, mostly miniboden.

Hopefully I'll keep it all, but if not, does anyone know if I can use 'return postage paid' stickers that I've kept from previous orders? Seems a shame not to use them if I need to!

Got the children coats for next year @ £20 each.
They are durable and weatherproof.

A pair of cargos for boy and a cardi for girl to unwrap.

Love their boys stuff.

Unimpressed.

They used to have a click-box where you could select your size, and it would grey out anything that had sold out in your size - where's that gone? I spent hours sifting through every single item, but any time I spotted something nice and clicked through, it wasn't available in a 10.

I got bored and gave up in the end. A lot of the stuff was still too pricy.

i ordered dd1 some bits from the johnnie b section that are reduced properly, that i would not have brought at full price. I was going to get them on he double discount deal but they stopped it before i could order for the third time.

ive got some free returns labels so will use those should i need to return them.

Dinnerdinner, you can use the return postage labels, if you need to.

I bought the things I wanted to earlier in the season or when they had 40% off earlier.
Disappointing.

My parcel has arrived - leggings fine, top ok (already had it in another colour), padded coat for dd3 - LOVELY, really warm feeling. Lottie tunic for me..........well it fitted ok but the ribbon trim is not as pretty as I'd hoped and finished at a really awkward place. Bit to close to the boobs - not a collar more a bib......also it's handwash only and frankly it just wasn't pretty enough. Might work better on a taller person with flatter chest than me who doesn't mind handwashing.

I have ordered the charcoal emma tunic instead. Should have done that yesterday! I already have that in two patterns and like it.

I bought pink skinny jeans for DD1 and pjs for DD2. I looked at a dress for me but was put off by the reviews which all complained about a poor fit. I was unsure if I needed a size 12 or 14 and could not face the hassle of returning etc over xmas so did not buy. I had no problems with the site though very efficient and items despatched this morning!

I've ordered two pairs of leggings, I hope they live up to their reviews,

I have had a nice bargain as a result of the Boden sale. Nearly bought my Christmas dress in Joules last Saturday. £69.99 and only one in a 12. After agonising I thought I'd wait and see if I could get a bargain in the Boden sale, but as half expected the reductions were crap and the dress I wanted was sold out in my size. Back to Joules this morning, got the dress there for £44 in their sale. Result.

I just got back from a charity shop trawl, a pair of lovely dark boden denim jeans as new, and a pair of boden cropped jeans in a lovely neutral mushroom, all for £10. (I set out to buy fat face jeans full price but was between sizes.) And some fantastic books for the dcs which I will wrap up from the dog.

Well I've ordered bargainous coats and t-shirts for the DC, a bargainous dress, jumper, bag and trousers for me, plus a very bargainous coat for DH.

Overall my basket was less than half original price, some things not quite half price but some things more than 50% off, so I'm pleased.

I did check some things I have bought for my niece and they are reduced but still more expensive than I paid with a code, so that's a bit rubbish but also a relief!

Disappointing- bought a winter coat for the ds but otherwise pretty dull discounts.

northernlurker that was the colour of the Lottie tunic I was planning to get - but perhaps I won't in the light of what you say about the ribbon bits.

On other hand, I might just try it - specially if it gets further reduced. I'm tall, though certainly not flat-chested! And I'd be prepared to have it cleaned and use for best if I really liked it.

Presumably the basic berry colour was OK?
