It's burning a hole in my pocket (expires 15/4). Am looking for inspiration.

I ordered my wideleg jeans and OMG they only cost me £26 with my £10 off and that fantastic code of 25%. Now lets hope my mummy tummy will fit in them :(

KosherBacon · 12/04/2014 23:25

I bought these emerald green cardi and these sandals. Hoping both of them are a nice match for HoC winter and that they fit ok as I have never tried the Johnny B stuff, but at £33.75 instead of £65, I couldn't say no. Who knows, they might both go back.

lambzig I'm laughing at your 'sixties housewife gone wrong' description, sorry! Boden stuff can so easily go either way. I've ordered a couple of their casual daytime dresses but I'm not overly optimistic. I will report back if they're any good.

Minnieisthedevilmouse · 13/04/2014 08:19

Can't stand the place. I'd rather buy at John Lewis

Legologgo · 13/04/2014 08:47

the jumper with buttons on the shoulder HORRENDOUS
and a t shirt - boring but ok

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 13/04/2014 08:49

These sandals look pretty www.boden.co.uk/en-GB/Womens-Shoes-Boots/Sandals/AR628/Womens-T-Bar-Wedge-Sandal?NavGroupID=11

I never got one. I usually do Sad was it in the catalogue or separate?

SorrelForbes · 13/04/2014 10:00

KosherBacon Keep us posted on the Winter thread! I like those sandals.

BillStickersIsInnocent · 13/04/2014 10:54

Some 7/8 chinos but they were too roomy on the hips for me so went back.

Also a linen jumper in the sale which is a lovely shape but not washing well.

AWimbaWay · 13/04/2014 12:33

I was the bit with your address on with the catalogue Lighthousekeeping, I wouldn't have even noticed it if not for this thread. There's a chance you could have just thrown it out without realising unfortunately as it didn't stand out.

Pixiepie · 13/04/2014 12:40

Actually, thats exactly what i did!! ..but an email reminder came through a few days ago to tell me i had until mid April or thereabouts to spend it. The funny thing is too, i havent bought anything from boden since last summer sale. I just dont especially find anything that great.
Check your email for your reminder.

Pixiepie · 13/04/2014 12:41

..oh and the code was on the email!

SunnyUpNorth · 13/04/2014 19:02

Yes mine was in the front bit of the catalogue but I hadn't bothered opening it. Only realised as I too got a reminder email. I tend to check their emails now since I missed the 80% off flash sale thing a few weeks ago due to just deleting the email, grrrr!

mamijacacalys · 13/04/2014 19:11

Thanks Cointreau Thanks.
Got the navy maxi dress and a couple of vest tops.

TollgateDebs · 13/04/2014 19:55

I bought some socks with the voucher combined with a discount code, so a real bargain. On top of this, Boden then sent me a free scarf. I do like some of their clothing, but it is too expensive without the sales and code discounts.

nicky2512 · 13/04/2014 20:12

I have just discovered johnnie b thanks to mumsnet. DD (age 12) loves some of the stuff but I haven't ordered yet. Would the trousers/denim shorts be fairly true to waist size? We also love the girls shoes but she has very narrow feet so possibly no point in ordering. Any advice please?

alemci · 14/04/2014 11:33

Crochet top, 2 t-shirts, ballet pumps. also used my £10 credit. May not keep pumps as they probably won't fit but worth a try. I got 25% off the top but everything else seemed to have been discounted already.

princessdave · 14/04/2014 12:50

The ivory broderie detail tee (which is lovely) and the "soft green" lightweight v-neck tee. Turned out it was neon green so sent it back for a boring useful grey one. My husband and I got one each (£10 for him, £15 for me) on the back of our catalogues and then an emailed reminder!

sleepdodger · 16/04/2014 00:04

Not the leopard party heels because they would have still been £80 and stamps foot I won't pay more than £50 for them so clearly they will never be mine boohoo

As usual ds got something but due to the usual rubbish merchandising for boys wear there were no sizes so I'm wedging him into a smaller size which will last tue summer and then selling on eBay

UterusUterusGhali · 16/04/2014 00:10

Ach, I don't know if I've got one. I hand the mini catalogue straight to the dc to see what they like. (Then order with codes or in sale)

Legologgo · 16/04/2014 08:15

The silk linen jumper is lovely

Legologgo · 16/04/2014 08:16

Have eye on broderie t shirt. Every one says size down?

Jemimapuddleduk · 16/04/2014 08:25

A gorgeous little jersey dress in blue print for dd. With my discount code I actually have 50p credit on my account. Bargain!

SugarPlumpFairy3 · 16/04/2014 09:03

Cointreau's code is still working, thanks!

Legologgo · 16/04/2014 09:08

Yes. I used it. How does Cointreau get such a code?
