boden sale has started!

[doghouse]

... says it all really!

[mandskh]

Nooooooo - placed first Boden order on Monday (maxi dress). No idea sale starting this week.... I clearly need to learn these essential sale dates...

[belledechocolatefluffybunny]

Can you see if it's in the sale mandskh, then buy a new one and send the old one back for a refund?

[Cicatrice]

Nothing that I want in my size or in DS's size. Heigh ho.

[aarghhelp]

Also spent £265, on what would have cost £570 ish. (and DH very kindly put it on his credit card).

very nice, thankyou mumsnetters for the heads up.

[mandskh]

Aha - thanks belledec.....top idea! It is in the sale..will return first thing tomorrow morning..

[belledechocolatefluffybunny]

I would have done the same with the dress I brought yesterday only they didn't have any left. I'm pleased I brought it yesterday.

[Northernlurker]

I think it's a bit off of them to start it early. There isn't anything I want actually but it's rather unfair on people who were expecting tomorrow.

[belledechocolatefluffybunny]

Did they say that they would start it tomorrow?

[purplepeony]

Why the F did they do that?

Checked site this morning and it was as normal.

Anyway, got 2 pieces of knitwear which is autumn wear but all the T shirts etc I wanted are soldout.

[rookiemater]

Now am undecided between Satchel and sumptuous leather handbag. Have free returns label so will order both.

Northernlurker I don't think there was anything official about when it was going to start, that was just peoples expectations.

I have already invented fictional child care issues so can come in at paid start time of 9.30am rather than boss preferred 9.00am, spose I can have a lie in

[Wheelybug]

I'm guessing they tried to get ahead of the Joules sale which starts tomorrow !

[Northernlurker]

Usually somebody rings up and then posts the date that they're told. I'm sure I saw 02/07 referred to? Maybe I dreamt that Anyway it certainly isn't usually late on an afternoon.

Having said I didn't want anything I have now bought a dress, a skirt and a top for my girls

[domesticsluttery]

Wheelybug that's what I thought too.

The Joules sale brochure came in the post today saying that it started tomorrow, noy doubt Boden wanted to be one step ahead.

It worked too, I like tunics in both but have gone for the Boeden one in case the Joules one is out of stock when I go on tomorrow.

Will still probably spend too much there as well though...

[Northernlurker]

I really don't get what it is with that satchel bag - it's really not that exciting and even the sale price is fairly eye watering.

[domesticsluttery]

No, I'm not a fan of the satchel bag... but each to their own! I like the must-have shopper but can't justify buying another bag.

[tortoiseonthehalfshell]

This sale plus the favourable Pound/Dollar exchange rate is going to be eeeeeeeeeeeeevil.

[moragbellingham]

Belle - my nephew is a tallish 11 year old so maybe it will fit.....in a year or two. No harm in buying in advance, hey.

I seems to have bought some more dresses, in different sizes, oh dear.

[Cabatach]

I ordered the must have shopper in silver and the carnaby wallet in navy, last night. Both are now showing as sold out. What are the chances of them actually arriving?!

[Oumasrusks]

Cabatach - I think if they showed as in stock when you checked out the chances are pretty good. I've never had something not arrive even if the stock was low when I ordered.

[Cabatach]

I have had stuff not arrive when showing as normal stock - a few months ago! I'm keeping my fingers crossed !

[thecatatemygymsuit]

I love that satchel bag (got it already with 20% discount) but can't help feeling I'm going to see a spate of them hitting the streets now! It's a really good size and I think quite stylish.
Anyway, has anyone got the 'fun-loving' (yuk!) short shorts? I just ordered them and was hoping someone will tell me they are chic and flattering on!

[kittya]

Does anyone know whether xs in JohnieB will fit a 9 year old? I like the t shirt dress.

I havent seen anything for myself, I bought stuff over the Summer and ended up sending alot of it back. I did wear the linen kaftan to death on holiday. I like the look of the brown wedges but I dont know how easy they would be to walk in.

I dont think the reductions are that stunning, considering how expensive it is in the first place. Spent about 90 on 8 childrens things so thats not bad.

[kittya]

Oh, and if anyone fancies the straight jeans I can vouch that the brigh blue ones look fab on and at 29 they are a bargain!

[Oumasrusks]

Cabatach - oh no, don't tell me that! I hope my stuff arrives now.

[ChippyMinton]

Fnacy the sale starting yesterday! Anyway I looked in on it at 7.30 this morning and bought swimwear for the DC, and a halter-neck dress and ruffle-neck t-shirt I'd been eyeing up since Spring, plus another dress which might do for a wedding.
