I got my order.

However I only ordered a tie for dh and combat trousers for the boys.

There was nothing I wanted for myself - very unusual!!

Usually do 'final push' sale after 2 weeks of normal sale,IFYSWIM.
Further reductions then,especially on things they have alot left of.

LisaLessLumpy, I ordered that coat in blue a while ago, but returned it as it just didn't do anything for me. It would have been better with side pockets that you could slip your hands into.

Try it if you like though.

LisaLessLumpy · 09/07/2008 12:12

Is that the second short coat, or the yellow one?

I quite like the yellow one, just as it is so different from the black i usually wear. As regards the blue short one, I did wonder if it would be too shapless.

LisaLessLumpy · 09/07/2008 12:12

batters/pesto are you both on about the short coat?

I was referring to the long one. The belted cotton coat with the spotty lining. I ordered one in blue a while back. The colour was great, but it really didn't look great on. Waste of time. I sent it back. Kept the rainy day coat instead.

Great thanks, I'll give it a miss then

girlnextdoor · 09/07/2008 13:12

yes- ordered Friday at 8am and arrived Monday- that's quick!

Got the swishy skirt in green fruit salad- bit bright but ok for £16. Goodness knows if we will get any more sun so I can wear it. Got a washed tie back top which is great- only £14.50

Gobbledigook · 09/07/2008 14:02

Oh I tell I lie - I ordered the pewter belt that was sold out at full price but now seems to be fully stocked in the sale!

moopymoo · 09/07/2008 14:07

Where is my stuff....ordered crack of friday, no sign.

VanillaPumpkin · 09/07/2008 14:15

I am still sulking too. Johnnie has my money.

sophiebbb · 09/07/2008 15:46

Got order yesterday (ordered Friday lunchtime when DS was napping). All stuff for DS and DD for next summer - lovely. My favourite thing was the red stripy top with the fishbones sewn on in blue for DS and the pink dress with the strawberry on for DD.

jenk1 · 09/07/2008 15:57

mine came yesterday, only stuff for DD cos DH just laughs when i show him the boden catalog and DS tends to snort when i try and show him.

DD however is a complete bodenite, she LOVES boden clothes, and loves her 3 pairs of trousers (for next year) and 2 sundresses for this year.

im waiting for the next sale for myself.

andiem · 09/07/2008 16:19

silent terror
the sailor trousers are nice they don't make my hips look huge but my stomach is my lardiest bit and my hips quite narrow they are generous in the sizing so if you are inbetween sizes I would go for the smaller ones

SilentTerror · 09/07/2008 22:23

Thanks Andie.Quitefancy the mole stripe ones because they can be worn whatever the weather all year round.Will order 10 I think,vary between 10 and 12 in Boden trousers,depending on cut.

VanillaPumpkin · 10/07/2008 13:11

Still nothing .

Don't know why I am bothered as it is all for dd1 and summer stuff that she won't be wearing if this weather carries on....but still...

bramblebooks · 10/07/2008 20:06

mine's arrived. Only one return - sadly it's the white linen skirt wwith circles, which I loved in the catalogue - but it's almost transparent and leaves nothing to the imagination!

We are now bodenated and ready for our sassy seaside holidays.

VanillaPumpkin · 10/07/2008 20:11

Mine has arrived . I have a bit to return thankfully.
Got dd1 (5) the pleated shorts (there are loads left so obv not popular at all) and I think they look really cute on. Got blue tie knot cardi and blue clover tie front top. Looks great with jeans.
DH doesn't like any of it but I think it is because he is so used to seeing her in T-shirts and nothing else.
Am returning the surf shorts and the skort and the Helter Skelter t-shirt which dd loves but I think is a bit dull....

has anyone got this Top?

barbamama · 10/07/2008 20:20

There is no way to get free returns in the sale for normal size items right? Also I got charged £4 P&P. what's the deal!
