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

I came on here to bitch about not getting a code! But have been mollified by Cointreau's code, thanks. Dd's new tankini and shorts are winging their way to me

Ps. The yellow belt is ace for those wanting to rock the yellow trend (!) but know that it doesn't suit us.

I think the code is from doing a survey about menswear cause I got exactly the same one.

Broderie t shirt looked crap on me - I'm too busty I think and the neckline and vertical detail looked all wrong.

Tried it in white so other colours might be better.

i loved all my stuff. Sometimes I order things and think I will just keep one thing but I want it all.

Crochet finish top in Iris is lovely. Useful as I get so hot in the Summer and it doesn't show too much flesh (apart from that horrible bit on top of arm in upper crevice ITMS). 2 essentials scoop necks in cream/navy and white, useful but very snug on sleeves and will probably end up with vest top underneath to preserve modesty whilst at work.

Ballet pumps in navy. I have narrow feet and i am not good at finding shoes that fit but I may chance it with these. Have elastic back. bit worried about no heel though, are they repairable. I think ÂŁ44 isn't too bad as they are leather upper and insert,

i couldn't get 25% off these or t-shirts as they had been marked down already but pleased with my ÂŁ15 and ÂŁ10 credit.

well my wide legs came and well they are a bit tight tbh like most of the reviews say but tbh at ÂŁ26 i am going to shed the weight and they will be my target. I should only have a few lbs to lose anway. Bit disappointed with them though.

I brought the jersey maxi skirt, two plain v neck t-shirts, pretty crochet top, alexndra and Tuscany op and some silver sandals that haven't arrived yet.

I think the Alexandra and Tuscany top will go back as they feel a little bit like something my mum would wear rather than me. My mum is 57 rather than 77 but still I'm 'only' 38.

I ordered three things in the hope that we will keep one and therefore not spend too much more than the ÂŁ15 - checked shorts and star print trainers for DS, breton tee for me.

alemci white but i'm going to order the blue/purple and the mauve as well. They will be fab for holidays and look nice with a short cotton cardigan as well.

yes I liked the way it was not too low cut at front and the gathering. the iris is a really pretty clear mauvey blue.

I emailed to complain but they said only a select few got sent them!

Glad my discount code is seeing some action. I can't claim all the credit as I found it on a blog.

My breton tee arrived, and it's predictable but nice, particularly as it cost an extremely reasonable Ă‚ÂŁ1.50. DS liked his shorts.

I found I could only use the 25% discount on one thing as some of the others had already been discounted on the site.

Perhaps on my blog Cointreau? I think it expires 18th April at 11:59 everyone so another couple of days to make the most of it! It was from a Boden Insiders menswear survey, I used it a few times on some Mini orders!

FWIW if anyone does miss out on this 25% code, I've just had word from the Boden affiliate team that they are running a 25% off (free p&p) offer from Monday on their "favourites". It's broken down each day into categories (like Catch of the Day) so Monday is tops, tees and knitwear.

Well my order arrived and I think it is all going back. I got 3 jersey dresses, they're all really unflattering and mumsy. I got two tops which are fine but a bit short in the body . I would probably keep them if they were cheaper but at ÂŁ30ish each I am sure I can find something nicer. Still waiting on the chino shorts as they're out of stock, so hope they're nice as otherwise I will be v disappointed and won't know what to spend my voucher on.

I got the two other colours and they are really nice do keeping all three. No gaping armholes but I do have muscular arms so quite big. I paid for next day delivery as wanted a dress for Sunday. Thought it would come Saturday but was here when I got back from food shopping.

I brought three pairs of leggings while the 25% code worked as I like to stock up. Also some skirts and tops for the dd's.
