ooooooh, I have been sent a 20% off voucher for BODEN, help me work out what to buy (if anything)

and also, when there is a number next to something you want, does that mean how many weeks you have to wait?

I think it does, so why would you order a summer skirt skort , that has an 8 week wait at the end of April?

If the number is in a yellow box then yes that's no. of weeks wait. They nearly always deliver well before then though.

I've stopped buying Boden, patterns are too recognisable and mad and the quality dipped about 2 years ago - I had a skirt with a broken zip and a pair of trousers which I had to re-hem within a couple of weeks of wearing. I haven't looked at this years catalogue, even though I've received about 50.

The childrens clothes are still good.

it is childrens stuff I am after tbh

I am too long for clothes, I need to try them on as they are always too short from catalogues

does this mean 8 weeks wait???? fgs

I finally succumbed yesterday
I ordered the Cropped Everyday Jacket, a dress for DD and a couple of tops
I suspect I will end up sending it all back but we shall see

Yes, 8 week wait. Though I've ordered things that stated 4-6 week wait and they've turned up within a fortnight.

The skorts are nice. I like the lighthouse t-shirt too.

I think I'll get the DDs these dresses because they're brilliant to pull on post-swimming and short enough for tree climbing and several jersey pedal pushers each because they're so easy.

DS1 will want all the t-shirts with scary animals on.

DD got a 'skort' and she loves it. But the delay is ludicrous, I made a fuss on email to them and now I seem to get things far more quickly.

you cant go wrong with the childrens clothes - buy whatever you fancy - it will get worn and worn and you can still sell it at an nct sale or give it to friends and it looks great for ages
