Epic fail by Boden. They allowed me to spend £8 on next day delivery and then only sent me the top of the bikini with a note saying bottoms are no longer available. Not impressed.

Hope they refund you the next day delivery money Shop, not good at all.

Ran 6.5k this morning...had to walk/run hills.....hope absolutely puce Grin .........going to hit the treadmill in a couple of hours. Actually surprisingly wonderful running with my music through the countryside on a beautiful day......actually the running bit wasn't wonderful Hmm

AmberNectarine · 21/07/2016 14:07

Complain. I bet they'll give you a voucher.

Outnet were out of stock of my stripy shirt on dispatch. Stuff like that really pisses me off.

peachmama · 21/07/2016 14:09

Aw thank you Amber! Flowers. A child free eve with plans to get drunk sounds splendiferous!. May you enjoy it very much too.

Oh well done dry! - you will be able to think "only 3.5 k to go!" at that point on Sunday - and you know you will be all done in no time at all.

Total fail by Boden shop - also hope you get a refund - you certainly should.

Everyonelovessparkles · 21/07/2016 14:12

How annoying shop. Definitely speak to them, their customer service is usually really good.

Outfit for night out sounds lovely peach. Hope you have a good time and consume much Wine Grin

Drywhitethanks · 21/07/2016 14:22

Yes I meant to say Peach your putpfit sounds lovely, let us know on your shoe choice.....

peachmama · 21/07/2016 14:22

How kind everyone - thank you muchly! Flowers. Fizz and coctails are definitely part of my plan Grin

HappyGirlNow · 21/07/2016 14:35

Afternoon all! Trying to catch up on pages I've missed!

amber I disagree with others, love the off shoulder top on you.. But then I love wearing mine and my shoulders are also pretty good. Sorry i know that was pages ago, but I've bought quite a few of them this year..

Recent buys:

This Mango cover up is stunning

Bargainous HM kick flares - they arrived today and I've ordered in every colour - all £3.99 except the mid-blue!

Been a busy day, lots of business stuff to do and our wee dogs were at the vets for their boosters.. Luckily they're neither up nor down.. And just heading out to get my nails and lashes done.. I love working for myself!!! Grin

shopafrolic · 21/07/2016 14:54

Enjoy your night out Peach
2nd fail from Boden - there CS is closed as they are all on their summer party. Have sent parcel back with a note inside complaining - will have to call post holiday if they don't resolve it. Had to pay for the return too....Hmm
Off on a last minute journey to M&S to try and find something there.

Oh no shop! Have a look at John Lewis too. You can get next day delivery to waitrose if there's one convenient for you.

QueenC1 · 21/07/2016 15:56

Annoying shop and amber.
peach have a fab night out.

Luckily my cats are too lazy/stupid to catch birds but they do bring mice in. The first time they did it I was heavily pregnant but still somehow managed to jump on the sofa!! I can just about cope with it now although I hate the half dead ones. Me and the dc stroked one once as he died. Was very sweet and we had a very good conversation about death. Luckily though, more often than not they bring us cuddly toys-they find them in the kids rooms and bring them to me and Dh in bed.

Wore my Uniqlo dress again today and got 3 more compliments!

AmberNectarine · 21/07/2016 16:26

This is the main reason I am resisting a cat flap - I don't want him bringing his trophies in. My aunt's cat brought a live bat recently. I can't even begin to imagine how I would manage that situation!

libertydoddle · 21/07/2016 16:46

Oh I am shuddering at the thought of a bat...
I have just had a really intense day... Feel scattered. My work is good ATM but so busy. I feel like I can't possibly have to still get through Friday.

libertydoddle · 21/07/2016 16:47

Scattered????? I meant shattered!!

Drywhitethanks · 21/07/2016 17:03

Happy that cover up is gorgeous indeed, looks a lot like Melissa O.

Prefer "scattered" Liberty Grin

libertydoddle · 21/07/2016 18:24

Actually my thoughts are scattered dry.

shopafrolic · 21/07/2016 18:27

Hate bats
Bikini quest over. Nightmare trying on session with DS in tow led to me buying this bikini

FedupNagging · 21/07/2016 18:30

A bat flew into my bedroom when I was about 6 - I was absolutely terrified!

Anyway, happy birthday Marsha Wine Flowers

Your outfit for Saturday night sounds lovely Peach hope you have a fab evening.

Am sure Boden will refund your delivery Shop - they are usually really hot on the c/s side although what a pita just before you go.

Dry it sounds like you are nearly race ready; keep going you're doing brilliantly.

peachmama · 21/07/2016 18:36

Thanks queen, Shop and Happy Smile.

Mango cover up is v pretty Happy.

So many jetting off on holiday - nowhere hot for us this year with the little one. I will live my holiday wardrobe vicariously through you all Grin.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 21/07/2016 20:09

Hello! I can't remember who mentioned the cute Michael Kors crossbody, maybe it was on the last thread, but I just noticed there are a few (3 colours) in the sale under £100 at Flannels.

Dry I'm just getting into running and I do like it, am seriously impressed with your 6.5k let alone 10k! You'll be fine!

Shop the M&S bikini is really nice, but how annoying about boden. You'd think the packers would have some common sense and contact you rather than assuming you'd want half a bikini!

I am looking for a yellow dress to wear on my birthday. It's my favourite colour and I want to wear it with my cobalt Aquazzuras and red lipstick Grin

Lib hope you're ok? Friday will be done before you know it.

Glad the self employment is going well Happy!

KittyHello · 21/07/2016 20:25

Happy birthday Marsha

A yellow Zarita à la Amber would be fab Blair

Fedup love red MK bag

Shop Boden packers' minds are elsewhere, they sent me a 14 swimsuit when I ordered an 8 Hmm

Dry you'll be fab during the run, keep your eye and mind on the finish line.

shopafrolic · 21/07/2016 20:41

That is rubbish Kitty I'll be interested to see how Boden handle it. I checked my bank account and they had taken payment for the bikini top but no delivery. Rubbish though.

OP posts:
AmberNectarine · 21/07/2016 20:54

You can borrow mine if you like Blair, it's a US4!

AmberNectarine · 21/07/2016 20:56

That is a serious offer by the way, I've worn it once (with cobalt shoes and red lips, funnily enough!)
