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..........

I don't think my pink raincoat is helped by the fact that it is accessorised with pink Boden wellies. Huge overkill. Need to get some navy Hunters...

Gobbledigook · 07/07/2006 12:03

I think if it's worn with nice jeans and timberlands it will look nice.

MrsBadger · 07/07/2006 12:17

popular opinion please - this dress in green OR in brown?

Gobbledigook · 07/07/2006 12:21

I've ordered it in green

When I initially saw it in the catalogue I liked the brown, but I have a dress in a similar style in cream and brown so I thought the green would be a bit different and it looks nice on the lady in the pic.

Green is quite 'in' at the moment don't you think? This summer I've bought a bright green cropped cardi and also a green short sleeved shirt. Seen loads of people wearing green.

florenceuk · 07/07/2006 12:23

I bought that in green! But dithered over the brown...

cupcakes · 07/07/2006 12:29

green

NomDePlume · 07/07/2006 12:29

MrsB, I prefer the brown.

Fimbo · 07/07/2006 12:31

My cardigan is sold out! Pah

did you miss the midnight start too?

Fimbo · 07/07/2006 12:34

Yes, I feel like giving Nigel a rollicking! He told me it was starting today not last night! TBH I might have known, it always pays to check the day before they say it's going to start. I bet a get an email about 5 o'clock tonight.

ooh, divided opinion!

is for a christening so I suppose the green would be more festive
but if everyone likes the green maybe everyone else will be wearing that and I should get the brown...

maybe I should just shut up and wear my linen suit and save myself the cash...

I'm really annoyed as ordered a pair of boots that have been sitting in the sale for months last night for £85, thinking that once the new sale started they'd disappear. And this bloody morning they are down to £67 or thereabouts. Grrrr. Do you think if I phoned them up they'd take pity on me and reduce the price to the sale price?

Gillian76 · 07/07/2006 13:05

Buy the boots in the sale and send the other ones back for a refund?

MrsJohnCusack · 07/07/2006 13:08

I'd def give it a go Emmymummy

alexsmum · 07/07/2006 13:08

have just bought the daisy appliqued jeans for my niece, just because i love them, and a skirt for my otherniece for her birthday.am now worrying in case they don't like them. would i be able to return them if they don't suit?

MrsJohnCusack · 07/07/2006 13:08

or a much more sensible suggestion there from Gillian!
you could say that's what you'll do it they don't help you on the phone....

emmymummy · 07/07/2006 13:13

Ahh yes worth a go - might just ring them up first as they're always telling me that I'm one of their best customers!!!! Bet they tell that to everyone!

KristinaM · 07/07/2006 13:14

Mrs B - def the green

KristinaM · 07/07/2006 13:16

emmy - you better be fast , all teh black and most of teh brown are sold out now

emmymummy · 07/07/2006 13:18

Kristina - I must have v bad taste as I've gone for the Robin Hood style green ones that no-one else is buying!

Gregory · 07/07/2006 13:23

A question to all of you who have ordered something in the sale- have you received a confirmation email?

I normally do but have received nothing since I ordered this morning.
(Am now convinced that order didn't actually go through, and there is nothing left to reorder)

emmymummy · 07/07/2006 13:27

Gregory - I received conf as soon as I placed the order. Give them a call to check.

Gobbledigook · 07/07/2006 13:34

I've had this before in sale time. I got an email straight back last night but I made another order this morning and not had one yet. I'm waiting till tomorrow to query.

SoMuchToBits · 07/07/2006 13:37

I received confirmation on my orders.

Mrs B I ordered that dress in the brown and in the blue cherries!

Gobbledigook, if you like pink, then get it. I would ( but I already have a navy one of those, so can't justify it.)

Gregory · 07/07/2006 13:41

Just phoned them, the order is there but it's in a large queue awaiting confirmation.

Cannot believe how paranoid I was over the bloody Boden sale!
