Januaryshoes. Scroll up. There is a pic of "chugly".

TheCrumpetQueen · 09/01/2014 10:11

There's a pic of it scroll up.

I only ordered 1 so there was more chance of them honouring it

My order says it cannot now be amended and clearly states 50p Grin

JanuaryShoes · 09/01/2014 10:09

I want to see the chair! Why can't I see the chair? Having a vision of hideousness, is it really that bad???

Buzzardbird · 09/01/2014 10:09

I will laugh at all the tossers that have already listed them on ebay having to pay their 40p listing fee and having no chair. Grin

Grennie · 09/01/2014 10:07

Yes I think it would be reasonable of M and S not to honour the large amounts ordered. They are obviously bought for profit. But small amounts are not.

TimeToPassGo · 09/01/2014 10:06

Mine is still reading as will be dispatched by 13th Feb. I actually want my chair!

And YY to tossers ordering a hundred of them and then going har har I'm so smart all over the internet. I would really love it if M&S honoured at least one chair per customer. Seems fairer!

Normalisavariantofcrazy · 09/01/2014 10:04

I think the majority of chairs where people have bought 1 or 2 are being bought for genuine reasons whereas you have the feckless twits who bought dozens for profit.

Hopefully m&s will honor the small orders so charities can benefit

Extending

Aintnobodylovesnanbetter · 09/01/2014 10:03

We were talking about extended our lounge
We'll need to now to fit the bloody chair in

A phrase springs to mind.

A fool and their money are soon parted.

That'll be me then. All £1 of it.

Maybe, just maybe, it looks slightly nicer in the flesh?

TheCrumpetQueen · 09/01/2014 09:59

I tweeted too.

#50parmchair

BelleOfTheBorstal · 09/01/2014 09:58

That chair is horrific in the extreme, I'm amazed they can give them away!

HavantGuard · 09/01/2014 09:58

This fugly delightful chair will make my life complete.

LittleThorinOakenshield · 09/01/2014 09:55

Maybe we should stop insulting this poor piece of furniture, if M&s are going to be reading!

Poor old chair.

LittleThorinOakenshield · 09/01/2014 09:54

All I want is a room somewhere
Far away from the cold night air
And enormous ugly bastard chair

Oh wouldn't it be lovely.

Aintnobodylovesnanbetter · 09/01/2014 09:53

I have checked my account and it says
Your items will arrive in 1 delivery

elesbells · 09/01/2014 09:51

I've tweeted m&s to ask if they're going to honour it....I've linked them to this thread too...and warned them of the wrath of mumsnet Grin

Rooners · 09/01/2014 09:49

Honeydragon, I have just read this entire thing and I have to say you are, actually, a genius Grin

JugglingIntoANewYear · 09/01/2014 09:48

Too late for me possibly just as well, can imagine DH's response to the arrival of two ugly massive recliners
.... but marking place to see those pics of MNers up and down the country in a week or two, reclining in their luxurious bargain arm-chairs glass in hand Grin
