I have accidentally ordered one too. I know we won't get it but couldn't resist "just in case!!"

GoldieBear · 08/01/2014 22:06

Aww messed about getting another card and now 'out of stock'

Chuckling to myself at the thought of you all getting them though

JakeBullet · 08/01/2014 22:06

Nope Hector it will be donated straight to the local hospice.

It isnt going to be honoured though is it? The law is on their side with this.

CuppaTeaAndAJammieDodger · 08/01/2014 22:06

getting a 404 error (page not found) now

Bearfrills · 08/01/2014 22:06

I really want mine too! I was going to curl up in it with my arriving-soon newborn child for squishy cuddles. And now I won't be able to and he'll hate me for it. He'll now probably grow up to be some sort of delinquent who take out his aggression on chairs because he blames them for it all.

WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN?!?!?!

elesbells · 08/01/2014 22:06

Oh they'd better send it...my poor 90 year old nanna will be gutted...

GoofyIsACow · 08/01/2014 22:06

Justmuddling i was thinking that, i won't be able to tell DH for laughing and it just won't be as funny!

ziggiestardust · 08/01/2014 22:06

Tbh, I would dispatch the chairs if I was the boss of M&S. No one would buy them full price, surely Grin

I've ordered 2... And got a confirmation email.

IwishIwasmoreorganised · 08/01/2014 22:07

Doh! Looks like I'm too late to the party!

JakeBullet · 08/01/2014 22:07

Grin Loving this thread too.

nippysweetie82 · 08/01/2014 22:08

We could all star in the next M&S advert in our comfy ugly chairs. That would be good for business.

GoofyIsACow · 08/01/2014 22:08

Ziggie, me too, think of the positive PR!

iloveny001 · 08/01/2014 22:08

Its all been removed now, just as I was dithering.

Buzzardbird · 08/01/2014 22:09

Confimation e-mail says "Recliner" not fabric.

Becks4Saints · 08/01/2014 22:09

The page has been taken down now

Hotel California

Welcome to a horrid crap recliner
Such a lovely look
(Such a lovely look)
With a lovely price
Picking it up for the old folks down the road
For 50p (for 50p)
It's the Richmond chair

CuttedUpPear · 08/01/2014 22:09

Joining the thread just to see what happens. ..

(And quite relieved that I am too late to buy a fugly chair)

nappyrat · 08/01/2014 22:09

I so wish I'd followed my earlier advice! Just come back 30mins later and there are now 300+ posts and it's been withdrawn!

Pah! ;)

Doodlekitty · 08/01/2014 22:10

Still no 'you aint getting it' email. Only a matter of time though surely

justmuddlingalong · 08/01/2014 22:10

Goofy, mine'll just roll his bloody eyes, I know it! Well if he does, he needn't think he'll be parking his bum in my chair that I probably won't get anyway !

Buzzardbird · 08/01/2014 22:10

It's sheffieldman's penis all over again isn't it for the ones who have missed it? Grin

nappyrat · 08/01/2014 22:10

Dying to see if these actually get honoured - assume they are obliged to!? Woe betides them if they don't to all the angry MNs whose chairs don;t turn up! ;) haha

CinnamonPorridge · 08/01/2014 22:11

Yes, we could all offer customer pictures for their website.

With gran, mum or dog on recliner Grin

RedPencils · 08/01/2014 22:11

Elesbells - get her practising her sad face then the DM can shame M&S into giving her it.
