Mine arrived this morning and keeping it all! Got the must have shopper in silver and the carnaby wallet in navy. Immediately changed contents of my bag and purse into new ones

interesting the way the reviews are inaccessible during the sale - might have saved me from the 'when are you due?' maxi dress, and the knot-front-straightjacket dress.

Still, the satchel's nice..

belledechocolatefluffybunny · 05/07/2010 18:54

Sales are when the shops shift all the stuff no one wanted to buy full price.

dexter73 · 05/07/2010 18:55

Doesn't mean the stuff isn't nice though, just too pricy!

SacharissaCripslock · 05/07/2010 18:55

Mine arrived this morning.
It's all kids stuff and all lovely so keeping it all. I'm too fat for Boden clothes - I'm sure I'd look like a sofa in all those prints.

My order arrived this morning. The patent bag is LOVELY and what a bargain - I was a bit worried about the colour 'taupe' but it's a really nice mushroom colour with cream.

DD's sandals and converse style fine. As is my everyday dress.

MrsC2010 · 06/07/2010 10:30

Still nothing! Despatch email I mean. Might call them.

kittya · 06/07/2010 10:36

all this bag talk is itching for me to see if there are any left!

Lauriefairycake · 06/07/2010 10:43

There is still some left

£59 down from £149.......

kittya · 06/07/2010 10:48

Oh, stop it now!! Ive just bought two dresses from Whistles which I can barely afford. Can it be used for evening as well, out of curiousity??

Lauriefairycake · 06/07/2010 11:01

Nope, too big - much more of a day bag.

Their patent ones are stiff at the start and I think that puts people off - I have a plain navy patent from last summer and it was stiff as a board when it arrived - within a couple of weeks it was nice and squishy and hung properly on the shoulder.

It's the same as this one - I've just put it on the shoulder and it looks like the bag is wearing me but I know it will be fine once worn in a bit.

kittya · 06/07/2010 11:03

the things we tell ourselves.... Its shoes I really need, luckily theirs never fit me properly

8oreighty · 06/07/2010 16:09

Nothing fit properly...have paid £4 postage, now have to pay to return the parcel...and hide it from dh until get to the post office. Why do I do it?!

CristinaTheAstonishing · 06/07/2010 16:18

Yep, just sent everything back and resenting the nearly £10 experience.

popcal · 06/07/2010 16:45

Got a free returns label in each of my parcels and only returning the stencil top (really narrow fitting and too short!)

Northernlurker · 06/07/2010 16:50

Mine came yesterday. Flippy skirt, everyday dress top and funky print dress for dds - all very nice and good fit.

MrsJohnDeere · 06/07/2010 17:03

Mine came today. Keeping all but two items. All boys' stuff.

belledechocolatefluffybunny · 06/07/2010 18:38

Nothing here yet!

pirateparty · 06/07/2010 18:55

Mine came yesterday.

All the stuff for ds gorgeous, and very pleased with everything for me except the linen crinkle dress which makes me look pregnant (which I'm not!) - not a good shape for me at all. Would be interested to see what the reviews said about it.

Will be keeping my eyes open to see if anything I wanted and missed out on gets returned!

Cabatach · 06/07/2010 18:57

belle You must let us know when your stuff arrives - hopefully it will be worth the wait...

domesticsluttery · 06/07/2010 19:00

Wore my merino tunic to work today... it is lovely and I had quite a few compliments

Am also resenting having to pay to send back my Boden jeans, I had a free returns label for Joules but am keeping all of their stuff! Typical!

belledechocolatefluffybunny · 06/07/2010 19:01

I'm still waiting for the dress I ordered on Wednesday, before the sale aswell as the dress/t-shirts I ordered in the sale. Grr! I'm back at work tomorrow so I hope my neighbours in (may take a study day as it's my birthday )

Cabatach · 06/07/2010 19:03

belle I feel your pain!!
