If it was today, would it not have started by now?

AFingerofFudge · 24/09/2026 11:05

@Cricketduckout it’s usually early afternoon it starts to show…

OrangeyLemon · 24/09/2026 11:05

I’m expecting an email around 5pm, but keeping an eye on here in case someone else gets a notification earlier!

MiracleToast · 24/09/2026 11:30

I got a back in stock notification for some trousers from the las sale—that’s promising!

faustina · 24/09/2026 12:24

Yes I got the same kind of notification and have ordered some things! It’s still not quite up and running but you can see and order some of it

faustina · 24/09/2026 12:52

@AFingerofFudge@AmethystMoonShine@IlovePond@PeonyBlush10@CakeAndJazz@ScallopShellWalk@ScottishMouse it’s on!

hicat · 24/09/2026 13:04

Oh man! There was no invite email? I just got a back in stock notification and checked. But maybe I didn’t miss out on an early invite? My fave T-shirts on sale but not in my size, I’ll feel less bad if it wasn’t becuase my junk mail stopped it coming through!

ToastCosILoveIt · 24/09/2026 13:30

Sale started, run don’t walk!

ScallopShellWalk · 24/09/2026 13:44

I’m walking in Spain and still managed to check the sale. I didn’t buy anything as I can’t try them on. However I asked if they’d refund me in the full price linen trousers I recently bought and they agreed. Good sale for me.

@AFingerofFudge@AmethystMoonShine@IlovePond@PeonyBlush10@CakeAndJazz@ScallopShellWalk@ScottishMouse it’s on!

Thanks @faustina i got a couple of shirts to try. Some things vanished from my basket fast!

BettinaInDenmark · 24/09/2026 13:51

I had told myself, that I really don't need any more clothes - nothing more can be crammed into the wardrobes... and still I ended up checking out 23 items.
Ah, I know that some will probably go back.

faustina · 24/09/2026 13:57

@hicat - there wasn't an invitation but I got the notification of something back in stock from an earlier sale so I went to check. The thing I wanted to be reduced sadly wasn't so have added it anyway - the big cotton/linen cardigan. Then the striped bolster cushions in red, the crustacean tea towel, button through indigo jersey tee and the mango stripe Alda tee. All from the wooden chairs at Boots while DS1 had his flu jab! Hope you all found some nice things

mizu · 24/09/2026 14:07

Just got an email but can’t check until I finish work!

ScottishMouse · 24/09/2026 14:30

Thanks for the heads up @faustina Maybe the first time ever I have ordered nothing in the sale. I am focussed on the wardrobe gaps I have right now, so have been strong and not been tempted by other things.

ShadowViolet · 24/09/2026 14:35

I told myself that I would not be swayed by anything but a nice shirt in the sale. I actually found one I really liked, but when I checked out a few minutes later it was gone. Oh well. I've closed the browser and promised myself I will not go back to have another look.

May still go back next week to buy the full price shirt I've had my eye on for ages...

MsDastardley · 24/09/2026 14:40

I’ve just ordered the Gelato dress and a pair of trousers, so very restrained! Nothing else I fancy. Maybe there will be a new drop next week. Hope you all manage to get what you’re after.

triggers34 · 24/09/2026 14:51

I’ve ordered the soya linen check barrels - I ordered them before , really liked them but Dh convinced me they were like pyjamas so sent back . I’ve been thinking about them ever since . I’ve also ordered the linen gingham skirt and matching top . It probably won’t suit me .

ShanghaiDiva · 24/09/2026 16:51

@triggers34 - I have ordered the same skirt.

IlovePond · 24/09/2026 17:19

Thanks @faustina - I have just done two big orders 🙀However, I am not too worried as I am sure lots/all will be going back.

I got an email just as I was on my.lunch break
Very restrained, I ordered the Tomato crinkle top I missed out on last time
If its rust it will be going back

ScallopShellWalk · 24/09/2026 18:32

Ooo I really fancied the gelato dress too @MsDastardley I hope you really like it. I really have enough sundresses and don’t see much sun, so I restrained myself but I think it looks lovely.

@triggers34 I still am wearing the soy checked trousers, I’m surprised just how much I like them.

I loved reading all your sale purchases.
Looking forward to reading more.

MsDastardley · 24/09/2026 18:57

@ScallopShellWalk I will update once received! I have had so much wear from my summer dresses this year I feel I can justify it 🤞🏻. Which linen trousers did you get? I’ve ordered the wide leg. Hopefully they will be ok, I find Toast trousers hit and miss.

ScallopShellWalk · 24/09/2026 19:42

@MsDastardley yes please update me on the lovely dress. I think the name did it for me too.
I mention two trousers. The soy navy check barrel leg, which I love and still wear even tho it’s no longer summer. Also the black pepper wide legged linen trousers that I got a partial refund on since I bought them a week or so ago full price. I like these a lot.

MsDastardley · 24/09/2026 20:11

@ScallopShellWalk I’ve ordered the black pepper trousers. I hope the fit, they look lovely.

Theteapotsbrokenspout · 24/09/2026 22:06

I was a bit late to the sale but I reordered the half placket jumpsuit that I ordered in the last sale and returned, and then regretted. Plus a couple of tops to try.
