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..........

Started about 1.30 ish at Christmas iirc. Wonder if Justine got any reply to her email - they didn't answer mine.

Cupcakes - have you had an invite to Kew's summer shopping event in Norwich? Have started new thread - LOL

Have already checked website about ten times today already...

cupcakes · 30/06/2006 10:22

He'd better hurry up; I've just spent £30 on the JoJoMaman sale.

Piffle · 30/06/2006 10:28

Regular customers get an email giving them first dibs, it gives you a link to a advnace sale site
the overnight they open it to everyone on the main site
I always get a preview email so I'll link to it asap
And anyone else will to I expect.

cupcakes · 30/06/2006 10:28

Fimbo - remember this thread? - we all thought then it was starting at 1pm and we got caught out.
I bet it won't even start today...

cupcakes · 30/06/2006 10:31

ooh, I've never, ever been invited to a preview site. I've always had my e-mail linking me and the rest of the country to the main site.
Am going to get seriously sniffy with Johnnie.

no - that's a reeeeally old sale.
We want the sale which takes over the whole site.

Gem13 · 30/06/2006 10:36

That sale seems to very limited - mainly baby things in boys at least.

SoMuchToBits · 30/06/2006 10:36

And we want it NOW, so hurry up Johnnie, we're all waiting!

dinosaure · 30/06/2006 10:36

I'm going to be checking on this thread all day (she says nervously).

I just made my first ever Boden purchase (got a £10 off voucher as I bought some kids' clothes) last week - got the brown cord jacket - it's really nice! I feel very grown up, being a Boden mummy now...

SoMuchToBits · 30/06/2006 10:38

Warning to dinosaure - once you start buying Boden it's very difficult to stop. A slippery slope!

cupcakes · 30/06/2006 10:38

is that the one with the nice lining? I like...

beckybrastraps · 30/06/2006 10:38

Will there be tumbleweeds rolling across MN when the sale starts do you think?

dinosaure · 30/06/2006 10:39

Yes, it has nice lining...

MrsJohnCusack · 30/06/2006 10:40

looks to me like most things I fancy are already out of stock in my/DDs size even before the sale starts

probably a good thing....

dinosaure · 30/06/2006 10:42

Oh, I hadn't thought of that...

Can anyone who has bought Boden trousers before, tell me how they size up? I am sometimes a 12 but sometimes a shameful 14.

cupcakes · 30/06/2006 10:48

I am normally 12 in most shops (M&S, Monsoon, Gap) and can get away with 12 in Boden skirts but have to get 14 in their trousers as they are too tight on the waist and too small in the bottom...

dinosaure · 30/06/2006 10:49

Thanks - I reckon that means I need a 14 as well then. I have still got an alarmingly thick midriff after DS3 (and he's now almost two) .

cupcakes · 30/06/2006 11:00

I hope you don't order a 14 and find it too huge - that will be just too embarrassing for me and my waist
I suffer from podgy tum and thick waist (although don't have to worry about them for a while as am pg )

Gillian76 · 30/06/2006 12:13

I don't think it's today.

Site is still as normal...

dinosaure · 30/06/2006 12:14

I was going to order the drawstring trousers anyway, cos I thought they'd be nice for yoga, so it won't matter if they are slightly loose. I very much doubt they will be though...

Fimbo · 30/06/2006 12:21

Cupcakes - yes I was seriously miffed at Christmas when the sale started earlier than anticipated. Have been clicking away madly all day, I keep getting my hopes up when I see the site because it is currently red, then realise the sale has not started yet...........[yawn]

Fimbo · 30/06/2006 12:22

Never had a sale preview email either, nor do I get a Next one. [cries]
