I am hoping the cardigan I want is going in the sale. I could buy it now, but knowing my luck the sale will start in the next half hour. Answers on a postcard please..........

lol

ouch... good luck. Keep an eye on the site not being available - always happens just prior to sale starting.

I haven't actually got too big a list this time (prob because I've been buying in drips and drabs all season) but I know I'm still going to want to be at the front of the queue! Last time I thought it was starting mid afternoon but then discovered it had started in the morning.

i know justine wears boden. on an episode of 'mums the word' she's got a brown top on that is def one of theirs

lucykate · 28/06/2006 17:11

not that i'm a boden expert or anything , saw the same one on ebay

JustineMumsnet · 28/06/2006 17:18

Oh God I've been outed as a Boden gal .

ponygirl · 28/06/2006 17:22

I rang Boden and asked a couple of weeks ago () and they said provisionally 7th July.

lucykate · 28/06/2006 17:26

justine , nowt wrong with being a boden gal. who was it who went on a mumsnet meet up recently and two of them both turned up wearing the same boden top?

cupcakes · 28/06/2006 17:32

7th July????? oh no. It would make sense in one way as the preview ends on the 5th.
Grr.

Kathy1972 · 28/06/2006 19:17

Nothing wrong with wearing Boden but you have to swear blind you only ever buy things in the sale

SoMuchToBits · 29/06/2006 08:10

How on earth am I going to be able to wait until 17th July?????

hurrah the authority is back!!
That's it. I'm cancelling all plans for tomorrow.

Piffle · 29/06/2006 11:18

Tomorrow

Piffle · 29/06/2006 11:19

I never buy from the preview as you get better offers in August, like £10 off £30
far better than 20%...

cupcakes · 29/06/2006 11:23

There are a pair of really expensive boots which I'm kind of considering which I will have to use the 20% off...

SoMuchToBits · 29/06/2006 16:50

If it starts tomorrow, will it actually commence just after midnight tonight? I may consider staying up specially, and hovering at the computer....

Yes, all right, I am very, very sad!

cupcakes · 29/06/2006 16:56

Some years it has started mid afternoon (3ish, just when I need to be at school) but last time I got caught out when it started some time in the morning.
Afaik it hasn't started as early as midnight.

cupcakes · 29/06/2006 16:57

What are you looking for? I want shorts and t shirts for the children plus a summer dress for dd.
Maybe a cardigan for me and some shoes...

KathyMCMLXXII · 29/06/2006 16:58

Does it really make a difference being on within the first hour?

cupcakes · 29/06/2006 16:59

ooh yes, some items go low stock very fast. Especially in childrenswear.

KathyMCMLXXII · 29/06/2006 17:01

Better keep my eyes open then - childrenswear was what I was after!

Fimbo · 30/06/2006 09:32

Just checked - not on yet!! Earlier I linked the wrong cardi (I think it was shiny faced ladies by mistake). This Is The Correct One!

Usually the site goes down for a couple of hours. Twas early afternoon last year I think.

cupcakes · 30/06/2006 09:36

(I like that one better )

How many times today am I going to have to check that site...
