Thank you!

Belle - I ordered that dress in grey.

Also the twist front jersey dress in violet, and far far too much for the dcs.

pigsinmud · 01/07/2010 17:36

Not much I wanted. Couple of dresses for the girls, but nothing for the boys in their sizes.

ILoveGregoryHouse · 01/07/2010 17:40

Great. Just done an order for my baby girl. Bet they tell me it's a boy at my next scan!

MmeLindt, I have the older version of the amalfi dress. It's really nice and I've just ordered the clementine one for me for when I have lost my 20stones of baby weight.

And I got the periwinkle merino tunic.

And I had £100 credit from the last sale so it hardly cost anything at all. That's what I'll be telling DH anyway.

belledechocolatefluffybunny · 01/07/2010 17:41

ds is 11 so there was not alot in his size

I hope the dress looks fab on you snowplop

moragbellingham · 01/07/2010 17:43

belle - do you think the johnnie b in xs is ok for an 11 year old?

Lulumaam · 01/07/2010 17:44

had been hankering after the metallic satchel for aaages. just got it now and 2 other items for just a shade over the origional price of the satchel! jackpot !! v v v excited.. gawd bless the sale and birthday money

Lulumaam · 01/07/2010 17:45

got periwinkle merino tunic to add to my collection of boden tunics

oh, and the periwinkle melange glam tunic too

i like tunics, i do!

belledechocolatefluffybunny · 01/07/2010 17:48

It depends on how tall your 11 year old is morag. Mine's the height of a 9-10 year old, he's shooting up though.

SacharissaCripslock · 01/07/2010 17:51

I have just placed my first ever Boden order.

Oumasrusks · 01/07/2010 17:51

Lulu - I also got the satchel. I've been eyeing it out for months but felt it was too pricey. I can't wait for it to arrive now.

RockinSockBunnies · 01/07/2010 17:52

Just phoned up to see if my account had any credit on it (as had been sending friends', relatives', virtual strangers' details to Boden each time they asked me to refer someone and then gave me £5 credit for each new referral ) and I had £27.00! Yay! So have just ordered a lovely swimsuit for me and a tankini for DD, both in the sale, and only cost me £5 of real money!!!!

Magalyxyz · 01/07/2010 17:53

Not the World's biggest Boden fan as it's so overpriced but I got two things which were properly reduced.

This belt reduced from £45 to £13!

And a grey santorini cardigan I had thought was lovely but would never have paid £59 for - now £17.50!

Lulumaam · 01/07/2010 17:53

i bought a bag recently for £64.99 that i had wanted for ages but had to return it as started to fall apart after 2 uses, so it muyst have been fate as i have the satchel that i really wanted , on its way !!

willali · 01/07/2010 17:55

THis is why I LOVE MN - I Was in a dither wondering how I could get kids to school and be abck before everything sold out tomorrow morning - so I have now had the pleasure of a leisurely browse and ordered £590 quids worth for £270!!!!

Hurrah!

Librashavinganotherbiscuit · 01/07/2010 18:04

argghhh. *hides credit card.

Blu · 01/07/2010 18:13

I am confused - the MN banner says 'free delivery and returns', but the checkout is charging me £4. Any suggestions?

dexter73 · 01/07/2010 18:20

Blu - the free delivery and returns only applies to non-sale items.

Blu · 01/07/2010 18:21

oooh-kay - thank you

PlumSykes · 01/07/2010 18:26

Phew. Spent 270, saved 200. DCs kitted out for next year.

Was too scared to linger and look for me, incase it all sold out, will try again for me now.

Blu · 01/07/2010 18:28

oooh, those gorgeous satchel style bags!

domesticsluttery · 01/07/2010 18:29

I bought the Merino tunic too, in Fuschia and Indigo (can never have too many tunics...)

Wheelybug · 01/07/2010 18:30

I hopefully have a satchel bag coming from MIL for my brithday in a couple of weeks but MIL got it on their 25% day just in case (at least I hope DH sorted her out to do that). Would have got it cheaper today but better to be safe than sorry !

Evenstar · 01/07/2010 18:38

Thank you, I am so pleased I saw this, am at work tomorrow with no computer access so would have missed out. Got myself a lovely top I have been longing to order for £24.50 instead of £49 and a nice hoodie and 2 T shirts for DS2 ready for our holidays

Lastyearsmodel · 01/07/2010 19:12

I don't know whether to flame the OP for causing me to spend money I wasn't intending to or kiss her because otherwise I might have the must-have shopper bag. Anyone else torn between colours?

Lauriefairycake · 01/07/2010 19:18

There were 3 things I wanted this morning

tonight all gone

ho-hum arse
