I think it's an address thing - we get a lot of catalogs we never used to get at our old (i.e. smaller, less expensive) house a mile down the road. They mostly only ever mail us the miniBoden catalogue. There's some cute stuff, but for me it's too expensive. I do sometimes buy <A HREF="http://www.hannaandersson.com" REL="nofollow">Hannah Andersson</A> clothes for both the kids and myself, but only ever when they're on sale.Almost Americanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17865905831387595915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-91749242800019203432008-08-05T00:09:00.000+01:002008-08-05T00:09:00.000+01:00Ah - t think I'm a little bit more Toast than Bode...Ah - t think I'm a little bit more Toast than Boden.

I can't really do the 6 month test as we have such a huge range of temp from summer to winter that it requires two completely different sets of clothes.<BR/>Perhaps that will be my motivation - no new clothes until the old ones are sorted out!Expat mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798190669591053390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-27629099261142073412008-08-04T01:36:00.000+01:002008-08-04T01:36:00.000+01:00I always find that i read the boden catalogue but ...I always find that i read the boden catalogue but never buy.

One point though,how is it that a former investagative journalist such as Judith O'Reilly omits the significant role of her nanny who provides the childcare. Is it 'Faking it in the North' ? I enjoy a good yarn like anyone else, but I know first hand - and still do - the time consuming but rewarding work that is required by a parent in looking after a child. I don't have a nanny, but those that do should acknowledge the significant help they enjoy. regards.ItsFairCommenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14652686357897257329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-71469221464578631802008-08-03T20:29:00.000+01:002008-08-03T20:29:00.000+01:00aaagh!

I do a clothes shop twice a year as the seasons change and it takes the form of a supermarket sweep round H&M, Top Shop and Zara.
